In this article, the effect of separation point on metal flows and the behavior of the material in front of the tool face with a rounded-edge tool are experimentally examined. The character of metal flow near the rake face has obvious significance to the partial problems of the surface finish and accuracy. Analysis of variance is used to determine the most significant parameter for the separation point height from the machined surface. As the distance between the separation point and the machined surface increased, the cutting edge radius grew. It is demonstrated through experiments that the edge radius of the cutting tool affects the machining and material flow process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
