Mechanics of Cutting and Chip Formation

  • Chapter
Book cover Machining of Hard Materials

Abstract

This chapter presents the basic knowledge on mechanics of the machining process in which the workpiece material hardened to 45–70 HRC hardness is machined with mixed ceramic or cubic boron nitride tools. Specific cutting characteristics, including cutting forces and cutting energy, and chip formation mechanisms are discussed in terms of process conditions. Additionally, currently developments in finite-element modelling are overviewed and some representative results are provided.
