Experiments in the Machining of Ice at Negative Rake Angles

Abstract The cutting force components and the cutting moment on the cutting tool were measured during the orthogonal machining of ice with cutting tools inclined at negative rake angles. The variables included the cutting depth (< 1 mm), the cutting speed (0.01 ms −1 to 1 ms −1 ), and the rak...

Description
Summary:Abstract The cutting force components and the cutting moment on the cutting tool were measured during the orthogonal machining of ice with cutting tools inclined at negative rake angles. The variables included the cutting depth (< 1 mm), the cutting speed (0.01 ms −1 to 1 ms −1 ), and the rake angles (–15° to –60°). Results of the experiments showed that the cutting force components were approximately independent of cutting speed. The resultant cutting force on the tool was in a direction approximately normal to the cutting face of the tool. The magnitude of the resultant force increased with the negative rake angle. Photographs of ice-chip formation revealed continuous and segmented chips at different cutting depths.
