On the thermodynamic interpretation of Laplace pressure

The results obtained using the thermodynamic method of J. are presented. IN. Gibbs’s expression of Laplace pressure and justified areas of its correct application. It is shown that the expression can be used only when applied to macro-objects to describe surfaces with a constant value of curvature, namely: spherical, cylindrical, and flat, but not to describe nanodispersed systems, as well as surfaces with variable values ​​of curvature.

Key words: Laplace pressure, thermodynamics, consolidation.

Analysis of energy consumption of diamond-spark grinding of nanostructured hard alloy VolKar

Rassmot recent issues of processability of the new nanostructured hard alloy VolKar based on the analysis of the specific energy intensity of the diamond-spark grinding process. It is shown that, despite the slightly higher energy consumption of grinding the VolKar alloy compared to the VK6 alloy, the total technological cost of its use is significantly lower, since the tools sharpened by it have a higher wear resistance.

Key words: nanostructured hard alloy VolKar, specific energy intensity, total technological cost, diamond-spark grinding.

Computer modeling of the creation of a difference in mechanical properties on the surface of a carbide cutter holder as a result of quenching after induction brazing

It is proposed to use a scheme for intensive cooling of a part of a steel carbide cutter holder during the quenching process after induction brazing. According to this scheme, cooling of different parts of the holder surface is carried out in such a way as to obtain different martensite contents in them to create a difference in mechanical properties. The scheme is illustrated by examples of computer prediction of the difference in mechanical properties of a 35KhGSA steel carbide cutter holder during quenching in aqueous solutions of Na-CMC polymer and in I-20 lubricant. It is shown that by choosing a quenching medium and a cooling scheme, it is possible to ensure a high level of hardness of the most worn part of the holder surface during the operation of the cutter and its high impact strength in the area of ​​attachment of the cutter in the tool.

Keywords: computer modeling, induction brazing, hardening, difference in mechanical properties.
