A Slip Line Field Solution of the Free Oblique Continuous Cutting Problem in Conditions of Light Friction at Chip-Tool Interface

Abstract

Lee and Shaffer’s slip line field solution [11] for orthogonal cutting is generalized to the free oblique continuous cutting problem in plane strain. Comparison of the results as predicted by this solution with those of the plane strain modified Merchant model [8] and experimental results is achieved for some key metal cutting parameters. It is shown that in some respect, the plane strain modified Merchant model [8] predicts values of parameters which are closer to experimental results.
