Side Flow Effect on Surface Generation in Nano Cutting
May 2017 • Feifei Xu, Fengzhou Fang, Xiaodong Zhang
The side flow of material in nano cutting is one of the most important factors that deteriorate the machined surface quality. The effects of the crystallographic orientation, feed, and the cutting tool geometry, including tool edge radius, rake angle and inclination angle, on the side flow are investigated employing molecular dynamics simulation. The results show that the stagnation region is formed in front of tool edge and it is characterized by the stagnation radius R <sub>s</sub> and stagnation height h <sub>s…
