Influence of Friction on the Chip Size in Cutting the Brittle Materials

Journal of Mining Science Aims and scope

Abstract

The results are presented for investigations into influence exerted by friction coefficient of the cutting wedge rake face on the crack development in cutting the brittle materials. The analysis carried out by means of the finite-element method showed that an increase in friction leads to delamination of the material, which impedes the crack propagation and worsens the conditions for chip formation.
