On the Behavior of Chip in Steel Cutting

Abstract

This paper describes the behavior of chip in steel cutting for the purpose of controlling the shape of chip and contains the following two parts. The first part describes the angle of flowing-out of chip and, since its values calculated by the theoretical equations are in accord with the measured values for various cutting conditions and tool designs, the authors have drawn up nomographs for the flowing-out angle of chip on the basis of the theoretical equations. The latter part describes the chip classification and the effect of cutting conditions on the shape of chip.
