190 1 year later, he spent most of his time consulting, writing, giving speeches and publicizing his management theory-"scientific management". Starting from 188 1 of Midwell Company, Taylor conducted a metal cutting experiment to solve the problem of workers being lazy. He has some working knowledge of metal cutting, so he studied the efficiency of lathe and started the expected 6-month experiment. When using lathes, drilling machines, planers, etc. It is necessary to decide what kind of tools to use and how quickly to get the best processing efficiency. This experiment is very complicated and difficult. Originally scheduled for 6 months, it actually took 26 years, with a huge cost, more than 800,000 tons of steel, and the total cost was about 6.5438+0.5 million US dollars. Finally, with the help of more than a dozen experts such as Bath and White, great progress has been made. This experiment also obtained an important by-product, the invention of high-speed steel, and obtained a patent.
The test results show that high-speed tool steel can greatly improve the output of metal cutting machine tools, and the appropriate rotational speed, feed speed and cutting parameter standards of various machine tools are obtained.
