Achievement of ductile regime machining in high speed end milling of soda lime glass by using tungsten carbide tool insert

Soda lime glass is widely used in optics, chemical apparatus, camera lens, micro gas turbines, light bulbs etc. on account of its high hardness, corrosion resistance, and excellent optical properties. These require high dimensional accuracy and flawless surface finish. However, soda lime glass is in...
