Abstract
Tool wear is a global issue in manufacturing as well automotive industry. The speed of the machines and the forces applied exposes the cutting tool and the work to different stresses which deteriorates the tool life. This causes a significant down time to pull out a tool either to reconfigure or change the tool. This consumes more time as every member in the production line remains idle. In addition, the worn tool will have a serious effect on the quality and surface integrity of the machined part. As the aim of automotive manufacturing industries is to produce high volumes and qualitative products in a brief period, the machine’s cutting tool remains the key component which affects the overall performances of work. This paper reviews the latest researches on improvement of tool life.
