ABRASIVE TOOLS
A relatively thin, hand-held tool for abrading, sanding or polishing a workpiece comprised of an elongated body constructed to carry a flexible, endless strip longitudinally therebout. The body includes handlike portion and a workpiece engaging portion, which define the path. Means associated with the handle portion are provided to align said strip with respect to the workpiece engaging portion. The body further includes means for releasably holding the strip under tension in contact with the path.
CUTTING TOOLS
The choice of cutting tool materials has a great impact on tool life, machining efficiency, machining quality and machining costs.
The tool must withstand high pressure, high temperature, friction, shock and vibration when cutting.
Therefore, the cutting tool material should have the following basic properties:
(1) Hardness and wear resistance.
The hardness of the cutting tool material must be higher than the hardness of the workpiece material, generally required to be above 60HRC.
The higher the hardness of the tool material, the better the wear resistance.
(2) Strength and toughness.
Cutting tool materials should have high strength and toughness to withstand cutting forces, shocks and vibrations, and prevent brittle fracture and chipping of the tool.
(3) Heat resistance.
The cutting tool material should have good heat resistance, can withstand high cutting temperatures, and has good oxidation resistance.
(4) Process performance and economy.
The tool material should have good forging performance, heat treatment performance, welding performance, grinding performance, etc., and pursue high performance and price ratio.
