... and feed rates. Embedded into the PCBN inserts at numerous distances of 75 – 450 μ m from tool rake face and 100 – 500 μ m from tool flank face, these microsensors enabled the sensing of transient cutting temperature fields with high spatial and temporal resolutions. The temperature data obtained during...

... thin film system was able to sustain. The success of embedding was validated by sensor functionality tests and metallurgical characterization. This sensor embedding method can be extended to other engineering metallic materials. To demonstrate the applications of the embedded microsensors, a PdCr thin...
