Length of chip tool contact Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Length of Chip Tool Contact = Chip Thickness*Material Constant
l_f = a_o*K
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Length of Chip Tool Contact - (Measured in Meter) - The Length of Chip Tool Contact is the distance over which a continuous chip flows over the tool rake face while maintaining contact.
Chip Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Chip Thickness is defined as the actual thickness of the chip after cutting.
Material Constant - The Material Constant is the intensive property of the materials, defined as the ratio of the length of chip-tool contact to the chip thickness.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Why should chips be broken up?

Bad chip breaking also affects productivity. Long chips take up more room in the hopper, which requires it to be emptied more often, but it's not as full in terms of the weight of chips. When combined with the time lost due to stopping the machine and removing chips, productivity is reduced and per-part costs are higher.
