FINISH MACHINING OF HARDENED GEARS WHEELS USING CUBIC BORON NITRIDE (CBN) INSERTS.

The paper presents some results of investigation of finish machining of hardened bearing surfaces of cylindrical gear wheels. Finish machining has been performed with wedges of defined geometry made of CBN. The presented investigation results are related mainly to the wear processes of the cutting wedges. Additional results of quality examination of finish machined gear wheels have been presented, too. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
