From DeVries 1992. is assumed to be continuous at least in the vicinity of the cutting tool characteristic of a duGine workpeece such as brass tow-carbon seed or an alummum altoy. Plastic shear is the principal mechanism of chip formation. Three ss a finhe volume to the shear zone however at common cutting speeds the angle between the planes which defines the deformation zone collapses so that the deformation appears to occur in a single plane. For this reason an infinitely thin zone of deformation is assumed in most models. Figure shows the force components between the cutting tool and the workpiece that are needed to characterize the cutting process including the heat generation and temperature distributions. DeVries 1992 has described the relationships among these forces and the geometrical features of chip formation all based on the classical literature. Several theories are available to determine the shear plane angle o. One that minimizes the cutting power is o 4 - 0 - y0 where 0 is the friction angle defined by tan-1 i and jl is the coefficient of friction between the chip and the tool Ff Fn. The resultant force at the shear plane must equal the resultant force at the tool-chip interface.
