Abstract: The wear of cutting tools is one of the main current problems, especially when it comes to new materials called "difficult to machine" or with high added value. Tool wear is caused by extreme thermomechanical loads applied to the contact areas of tool chips and tool parts. During milling, turning or drilling operations, for example, large deformations, high deformation rates and high temperatures can be observed near the surface of the cutting tool. The objective of our work is to respond to the problem of abrasion wear by developing a predictive tool, based on knowledge of the physical and tribological mechanisms of workpiece-tool contacts, allowing us to quantitatively estimate the wear of the tool and its service life. To achieve this, we base our approach on previous studies carried out in the field of machining and metalworking. The modeling work was first applied to the wear case, then extended to the study of the crater wear occurring on the cutting face. By taking into account the mechanical load applied and the geometry of the contacts involved (plane-plane contacts), we have developed a two-dimensional approach in orthogonal cut configuration.
