Machine tools from the C-2, C-4, and C-7 designation were examined in this study. Overall twelve different machine tools from these grades were evaluated. Each machine tool was used to machine beryllium and then examined to determine wear characteristics. They were then polished and etched to reveal microstructure. The microstructure was examined on a scanning electron microscope (SEM) equipped with an energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS).
