Abstract

The subject of this work is the fracture behavior observed in the chip formation process of carbon steel by SEM. It is found that metal cutting is a process of deformation and fracture of materials. Single — phase materials effect a separation (fracture) point, it located in the new surface machined of workpiece and chip at the tool tip. The shape of chip will be depend on this fracture behavior. Two — phase alloys have an additional fracture point in the chip underside some distance along the rake face. It keeps down the quality of surface finished and procuration of Built — Up Edge. Separation in metal cutting abides by the law of ductile fracture processes.
