Modeling of mechanical loads on the cutting wedge with varying rake angle
Abstract
The wear behaviour of cutting tools depends significantly on the mechanical load on the cutting wedge. The rake angle influences the chip formation and thus the mechanical loads. The influence on the shear angle, the contact length and the process forces was investigated. An experimentally based method was used to investigate the influence of the rake angle on the normal and tangential stresses on the cutting wedge when machining AISI4140.
