(a)Hardness distribution in the cutting zone for 3115 steel. Note that some regions in the builtup edge are as much as three times harder than the bulk metal. (b)(b) Surface finish in turning 5130 steel with a builtup edge. (c) surface finish on 1018 steel in face milling. Magnifiions: 15X. Source: Courtesy of Metcut Research Associates, Inc.
