← TechnologyWhich outcome results when a CNC lathe's coolant supply degrades, leading to increased thermal fluctuations during high-speed machining of hardened tool steel?
A)Catastrophic tool wear accelerates rapidly.✓
B)Surface finish becomes smoother marginally.
C)Dimensional tolerances tighten unexpectedly,
D)Chip formation stabilizes noticeably.
💡 Explanation
Accelerated tool wear results because inadequate cooling from the coolant supply failure reduces **quench hardening**, thus the tool softens and wears faster due to increased friction. Due to the elevated temperatures, severe abrasive wear emerges therefore rapidly accelerates tool wear, rather than improving tolerances.
