Characterization of material flow mechanism for chamfered tools utilizing coupled slip-line-slab method

Sintered carbide tools with their edge chamfered have superior resistance against brittle fracture of the main edge. Such advantage is mainly attributed to the formed built-up edge (BUE) anterior to the chamfer face. However, as the cutting process, certain materials including cracked BUE in that vicinity will inevitably flow aside along the chamfer face, which eventually causes severe notch wear and lateral burr formation. Given this...
