Experimental Study of the Minimum Chip Thickness during the Machining of Duplex Stainless Steel
During a machining operation the workpiece material at some point has to split up into two separate material flows forming the chip and machined surface respectively. In the boundary zone between these two different flows of material it is possible to distinguish a stagnation point. This stagnation point is closely related to the minimum chip thickness h1min. The size of h1min is of great interest
