The main reason for chip segmentation in high-speed cutting is the instability of the elastic-plastic deformation process of the processed material in the shear plane. The most significant technological factors affecting the character of chip formation in the turning of high-strength steels and titanium alloys are determined. The standard software DEFORM 2D have been used for modeling chip formation while orthogonal cutting.
Keywords: chip formation while cutting, segmented and continuous chips, simulation of the chip formation process.
