The pattern and extent of totaldeformation of the chips due toprimary deformation of the chip aheadof the tool face and secondary sheardeformations of the chip along the toolface as shown in Fig. 3, depend on thefollowing factors.• Work material• Tool (material and geometry)• Cutting velocity (Vc) and feed (So)• Cutting fluid application

Shear Plane and Shear Zone Theories

So far it is considered that chip is formed abruptly along a shear plane only. Butpractically it is not feasible, because, then change in velocity from cutting velocity (Vc) tochip flow velocity on rake surface (Vf) and plastic strain from almost nil to high valuewould have been in no time resulting in infinite retardation and strain rate. Practically,the shear deformation occurs over a zone (instead of across a plane) as indicated in Fig.14. However, the thickness of the shear zone comes to be very low, about 20 μm at highspeed machining. Due to this shear plane theory is conveniently used for general study.

Chip-Tool Contact Length

In machining ductile materials, Ce becomes smaller than Cp and gradually almost disappearswith the increase in cutting velocity. The nature and length of chip-tool contact affects(i) Magnitude and pattern of cutting forces(ii) Cutting temperature

Fig. 19. Chip-tool contact in machining

Chip-tool contact length (C) refers to the length of contact of chip with the tool rake surfacein the direction of chip flow as shown in in Fig. 19. The nature and length of contactbetween the flowing chip and the tool at its rake surface are important aspects and playimportant role in machining. Chip-tool contact length usually comprises of two portions i.e.length of plastic contact (Cp) and length of elastic contact (Ce) i.e. C = Cp + Ce ……………… (9)
