Describe the mechanism of chip formation during metal cutting with the help of sketch.

1 Answer

Answer :

Mechanism of chip formation : In Fig. the tool is considered stationary, and the work piece moves to the right. The metal is severely compressed in the area in front of the cutting tool. This causes high temperature shear and plastic flow if the metal is ductile. When the stress in the work piece just ahead of the cutting tool reaches a value exceeding the ultimate strength of the metal, particles will shear to form a chip element which moves up along the face of the work. The outward or shearing movement of each successive element is arrested by work hardening and the movement transferred to the next element. The process is repetitive and a chip is formed.
