← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when exceeding recommended spindle speeds using uncoated carbide tools with a CNC lathe on hardened steel?
A)Improved surface finish
B)Reduced tool chatter
C)Accelerated tool wear✓
D)Decreased cutting forces
💡 Explanation
Excessive spindle speeds on hardened steel generate high heat input; thermal softening degradation accelerates through diffusion wear. This diffusion wear weakens the cutting edge because material is removed via atomic migration, therefore accelerating tool wear, rather than alternatives like improving finish, which require sufficient cooling.
