Research of plastic strain and chip morphology in hard turning

Abstract

In the case of several surfaces/parts, the turning of hardened materials replaced the machining applied before. The knowledge of strain mechanisms may advance the increase of material removal efficiency this appoint newer fields of application. This paper introduces the morphology and the plastic strain of the removed chip in the case of orthogonal (2D) cutting. The relationship between plastic strain and the change of cutting data has been investigated.
