The main characteristic of hard turning process is easy to produce serrated chip. The chip deformation will impact greatly turning process. It is very important to analysis the chip formation and morphology during precision turning process of hardened steel. The deformation mechanism of serrated chip formation process and its chip morphology of chips produced during precision turning process of the hardened steel GCr15 is studied in hard cutting experiment by the methods such as numerical simulation of two-dimensional finite element analysis of turning, chip cross-sectional microscopic analysis and other methods .High speed precision turning of hardened steel GCr15 produces morphology of continuous chip and serrated chip; Serrated chip has the typical characteristics of the adiabatic shear slip after section such as apical surface of the serrated chip is composed of multilayer rolling dentate shear plane, a single surface of one tooth is not smooth, but no crack. Extrusion grooves is produced from tooth root to tip; Intensive slip line on serrated chip cross-section can be saw by microscopic observation; Fracture surface of the serrated chip presents small tumor tissues. The results show that the reason of hardened GCr15 steel forming serrated chip is periodic adiabatic shear fracture, and the research provides a theoretical reference application of hard turning technology.

The development of chip morphology, critical cutting condition of adiabatic shear during serrated chip formation and cutting forces were observed and measured by high speed turning experiment for 30CrNi3MoV hardened steel. Results show that the cutting speed and rake angle are leading factors to influence chip morphology and cutting forces. With the increase of cutting speed, the continuous band chip transforms into serrated chip at a certain critical value. As the rake angle is changed from positive to negative, the critical cutting speed of adiabatic shear significantly decreases, the cutting forces abruptly reduces when the serrated chip forms. The results from predicting critical cutting speed using the critical cutting condition criterion of adiabatic shear in metal cutting process show that the leading reason of serrated chip formation is that the adiabatic shear fracture repeatedly occurs in the primary shear zone.

This paper analyzed the serrated chip formation process and mechanism in high-speed milling of nickel-based superalloy GH706. Firstly, analyzed two theories of serrated chip formation: cyclical fracture theory and adiabatic shear theory. Secondly, used the simulation of chip formation in high-speed milling of GH706 process, and concluded that the two major theories have achieved dialectical unity when machining for such difficult machining materials. Finally experiments for serrated chip, when cutting speed exceeded 200/min, serrated chips became more obvious. Research has shown that for nickel-based superalloy, adiabatic shear instability of the unstable thermoplastic in the first deformation zoon become the leader of formation of serrated chip, followed as the speed increases, fracture aggravate the degree of serrated chip.

A P20 steel are machined in the milling speed range of 200 to 942m/min. The morphology and formation of the chips are investigated at various speeds. The serrated chips with adiabatic shear band are observed at a high milling speed. The transition from continuous to serrated chip formation is favored by the increase in work material hardness and milling speed. The study assumes that the chip segmentation is only induced by adiabatic shear banding, without material failure in the primary shear zone. Based on adiabatic shear theory, using the JC and the power material constitutive equation, the modified material model which takes into a strain softening is developed for prediction of the serrated chip formation. Experimental measurements are compared with the simulation results.

In this paper, two ideal formation models of serrated chips, the symmetric formation model and the unilateral right-angle formation model, have been established for the first time. Based on the ideal models and related adiabatic shear theory of serrated chip formation, the theoretical relationship among average tooth pitch, average tooth height and chip thickness are obtained. Further, the theoretical relation of the passivation coefficient of chip’s sawtooth and the chip thickness compression ratio is deduced as well. The comparison between these theoretical prediction curves and experimental data shows good agreement, which well validates the robustness of the ideal chip formation models and the correctness of the theoretical deducing analysis. The proposed ideal models may have provided a simple but effective theoretical basis for succeeding research on serrated chip morphology. Finally, the influences of most principal cutting factors on serrated chip formation are discussed on the basis of a series of finite element simulation results for practical advices of controlling serrated chips in engineering application.

Analyzing mechanism of the chip formation is a significant way to understand the metal cutting process better. The characterization of serrated chip formation in high speed machining of hardened AISI1045 steel is investigated with the aid of optical microscopy and micro-hardness measurement in this paper. The chip morphology evolving from continuous one to serrated one with the cutting speed increasing from 100-1500m/min is observed. Compared with the continuous chip pattern, serrated chip has its particular characterization parameters. The characteristics of serration degree and the segmentation frequency of the serrated chip are presented. The micro-hardness at the adiabatic shear band of serrated chip is then measured. The results show that the serration degree and segmentation frequency of serrated chip have a tendency of enhancement with the cutting speed increasing. The micro-hardness along the adiabatic shear band increases with the cutting speed increasing due to severe strain hardening. With a critical speed at about 100-200m/min, micro-hardness decreases from the tool-chip interface to the free surface of the chip.

As an advanced manufacturing technology which has been developed rapidly in recent years, high speed machining is widely applied in many industries. The chip formation during high speed machining is a complicated material deformation and removing process. In research area of high speed machining, the prediction of chip morphology is a hot and difficult topic. A finite element method based on the software ABAOUS which involves Johnson-Cook material model and fracture criterion was used to simulate the serrated chip morphology and cutting force during high speed cutting of AISI 1045 hardened steel. The serrated chip morphology and cutting force were observed and measured by high speed cutting experiment of AISI 1045 hardened steel. The effects of rake angle on cutting force, sawtooth degree and space between sawteeth were discussed. The investigation indicates that the simulation results are consistent with the experiments and this finite element simulation method presented can be used to predict the chip morphology and cutting force accurately during high speed cutting of hardened steel.

The metallurgical observations of microstructure characteristics of the adiabatic shear bands(ASB) within the primary shear zones of the serrated chips produced during high speed machining high strength steel have been performed by using optical microscope, SEM and TEM. The observations showed that the microstructure between the matrix and the center of the ASB gradually was changed, the fine equiaxed grains appeared with size of about 0.4~0.6μm in the center of the adiabatic shear band. The serrated chip formation was likely due to material softening that occurred in the primary shear zones. The microstructural development of dynamic recovery and rotational dynamic recrystallization is the dominant metallurgical process leading to material softening in primary shear zone during high speed machining. A model of microstructural development in primary shear zone during serrated chip formation in high speed machining was suggested by analyzing material softening mechanism.
