刀具磨损对切削工艺的经济可行性和可靠性至关重要，因此被用作工艺评估和设计的决策标准。提出了一种基于少量切削刀具磨损测量确定节省时间和材料的最佳切削条件的简单试验方法。使用不同的切削参数集进行切削，对于每一组切削参数，通过外推测量的磨损进度，得出有关刀具寿命的相对陈述。这些陈述，连同切割过程的要求，决定了最佳切割条件。试验方法的实验实现和确认是使用工件和工具材料的典型组合进行的。

Tool wear is significant to economic viability and reliability of cutting processes and is therefore used as a decision criteria for process assessment and design. A brief test method is presented for determining time- and material saving optimum cutting conditions based on measurements of tool wear for a small number of cuts. The cuts are performed using different sets of cutting parameters, for each of which relative statements concerning tool-life are derived by extrapolation of the measured wear progress. These statements, together with the requirements for the cutting process, determine the optimum cutting conditions. Experimental realization and confirmation of the test method is performed using exemplary combinations of workpiece and tool material.
