Option 1 : Small rake angles
Concept:
Machining of metals and formation of chips
Types of chip:
(1) Continuous chips with built-up edges – These type of chips are formed during the machining of ductile materials at medium cutting speed. Favourable conditions for this are:
- Ductile material
- High friction at the face of the tool
- Lack of coolant and lubricant
Factors reducing the BUE formation are
- By increasing cutting speed
- Increasing rake angle as it will decrease the force
- By decreasing the feed
- By reducing the depth of cut
- By the use of cutting fluid
(2) Continuous chips – formed during machining of ductile materials at high speed. Favourable conditions for this type of chip to be formed are as follows:
- Ductile material
- Large rake angle
- High cutting speed
- Low depth of cut
- Proper use of coolant and lubricant
Benefits of continuous chips are:
- Gives high surface finish
- High tool life
- Low power consumption
(3) Discontinuous chips – Formed during machining of brittle materials and while machining ductile materials at low speed.
Favourable conditions for this are:
- Brittle workpiece
- Slow speed of cutting
- Small rake angle
- Large depth of cut
