Acoustic emission (AE) was monitored during single point, continuous machining of 4340 steel and Ti-6A1-4V as a function of heat treatment. Heat treatments which increase the strength of 4340 steel increase the amount of AE produced during deformation, while heat treatments which increase the strength of Ti-6A1-4V decrease the amount of AE produced during deformation. Trends in rms AE level during machining with increasing strength were similar for both alloys, demonstrating that chip deformation is not a major source of AE in sigle point machining. The data suggest that sliding friction between the nose and/or flank of the tool and the newly machined surface is the primary source of AE.
