<p>Both a rake face and a flank of an edge tool have a surface structure in which a network of recesses and protuberances surrounded by the recesses are formed, the surface structure having the characteristics described below:
(1) there is no solid-solid interface between the surface structure and the interior of the edge tool, (2) the surface structure has a value of a physical property that more easily permits the surface structure to be elastically or plastically deformed than a value of the physical property of the interior of the edge tool, and (3) the protuberances have such shapes that the protuberances are elastically or plastically deformed as the protuberances rub against a workpiece.</p> |
