Abstract
The paper addresses the influence of cutting conditions on acoustic emission signals in fine turning of aluminum alloys. Each AE signal was split into two sections: the first one is associated mostly with the chip formation and the second one with the tool–workpiece friction. The tool materials were single crystals of natural and synthetic diamond as well as hardmetal WC–6Co. The experimental data demonstrate that in diamond turning the main signal is emitted during the chip formation, while in the case of hardmetal turning the portion of the signal emitted due to the tool flank friction is often larger and depends on the cutting conditions.
