Failure Analysis of Hacksaw Blade
Among the equipment in Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) fabrication workshop is a 2-horse power hacksaw machine that is used in cutting steel bar and plate. During a cutting work on a steel workpiece, the high-speed tool steel (HSS) hacksaw blade fractured at the contact point between the blade a...
