The acoustic emission generated during single point, continuous machining was measured and characterized for a number of different alloys heat treated to different strengths. Analysis of the data suggests that the primary source of acoustic emission is sliding friction between the nose and/or flank of the tool and the machined surface. The acoustic emission has also been measured during block-on-ring sliding friction experiments as a function of different experimental variables. The friction tests support the hypothesis that rubbing friction is the primary source of acoustic emission during single point machining.
