In metal machining, the zone where the maximum heat is generated due to the plastic deformation of metal, is called
A
Friction zone
B
Work-tool contact zone
C
Shear zone
D
None of these
Correct Answer: Shear zone
The narrow zone surrounding the shear plane in machining is termed as primary shear zone. The area surrounding the chip-tool contact region is called the secondary deformation zone. This zone consists of a part of work material (uncut chip) and a part of chip.
