Peculiarities of contact plastic deformation in interrupted cutting conditions

Abstract

One of the main problems of studying the process of cutting of materials and tool wear deals with studying both the kind and character of contact interaction between the treated metal and the working surfaces of the tool. Without clear view of both the character of contact interaction and the patterns of kinematics, deformation, and thermal processes in contact zones over a full range of cutting speeds, it is impossible to make correct conclusions on the nature and common patterns of tool wear.
