Thermomechanical approach for the modeling of oblique machining with a single cutting edge

This article aims to predict performances of oblique machining with a single cutting edge. A thermomechanical approach for the modeling of oblique cutting with a single cutting edge is proposed. A good agreement was found between predicted and experimental data. New rules were established to determine experimentally the average friction coefficient and chip flow angle at the rake face. The computation algorithm permits to predict all thermomechanical parameters such as cutting forces, cutting temperatures, and chip geometry. Besides, all predicted oblique machining parameters are mainly controlled by the Po-criterion, which is defined as the ratio of tool–chip contact length to uncut chip thickness.
