Types of Chips

•Brittle work materials

•Ductile work
•Low cutting speeds
materials
•Large feed and depth of
•High cutting speeds
cut
•Small feeds and
•Small rake angle
depths
•High tool-chip friction
•Large rake angle
•Sharp cutting edge
•Low tool-chip
•Ductile materials friction
•Low-to-medium cutting speeds
•Large feed
•Small rake angle
•Tool-chip friction causes portions of chip
to adhere to rake face
•Built up Edge (BUE) forms, then breaks
off, cyclically
