On the mechanism of ferromagnetic materials wear reduction

The article proposes a hypothesis on the nature of anti-adhesion processing method by the magnetic field of cutting and deformation tools based on the analysis of operating experience and experimental studies of a wide range of tools. The results of the wear process experimental and mathematical modeling in terms of increasing the magnetic impact are presented. It is found that with the increasing number of impulses, the external magnetic field decreases wear and increases the residual magnetic induction of the samples processed by the magnetic field, and the quantification of changes in the intensity of these processes is showed. A new mechanism of influence is proposed of processing magnetic field on the wear, from which is concluded the appearance of an electronic system with a modified energy level that is resistant to the formation of chemical bonds, causing the adhesion.
