Experimental Analysis of the Cutting Process and Chip Formation at High Speed Machining

G. Sutter , L. Faure , A. Molinari , A. Delime , D. Dudzinski

A new experimental device has been designed to reproduce the orthogonal cutting process at very high speed. Thus, it is possible to study especially the effects of the very high cutting speed on the chip segmentation and on the cutting forces. High cutting speeds are obtained with an air gun that launches the workpiece at velocities much higher than those obtained in conventional machining (up to 100 m/s ) . Microscopic observations of chips and systematic classification have contributed to analyze the consequences of the cutting conditions.
