Is it crazy that iron filings always get stuck on the workpiece? Get it done with these tips!

 

I don't know if gold dusters have ever encountered this situation. After one hour of processing and half an hour of cleaning, the iron filings always get entangled on the workpiece and the tool. I think it looks like the picture below:

Are you aware of these chip troubles? Today, the editor will introduce to you the information reflected by chips, as well as some effective chip breaking methods.

01

What are the shapes of chips?

Chip principles and directions

policy

method

be careful

Thicken the chips

Increase feed

Roughness worsens

Tool tip radius becomes smaller

Roughness deteriorates, easy to wear

Increase the leading angle

Reduced tip strength

Curl radius becomes smaller

Use qualified chipbreakers

The cutting resistance becomes high and tool chatter easily occurs.

03

What are the chip breaking methods?


After increasing the feed, the chips become thicker, which is beneficial to chip breaking.

Increase feed

depth of cut


The radius of the tool tip fillet becomes smaller and the chip thickness increases.

Reduce rake angle


Chip compression ratio=hc/h

1. The greater the compression ratio, the easier it is to break chips, but at the same time the cutting resistance also increases.

2. The compression ratio is related to the linear speed vc. When vc decreases, the compression ratio increases, so reducing the linear speed is also beneficial to chip breaking.

3. The rake angle is reduced, the chip deformation is large, and the compression ratio is increased, which is beneficial to chip breaking.


Adopts sharp edge treatment form


It can be seen from the figure that under the same feeding conditions, the blade edge is blunt and sharp, which is beneficial to chip breaking.

Increasing the main deflection angle makes the chips thicker and facilitates chip breaking.

Raised chip breaker


Promote chip breaking

Rubbing against the protrusion of the chip breaker creates a dent on the surface of the chip → significantly increases the chip thickness → promotes chip breaking and is highly damaging.

Highly damaging

The contact area with the chips becomes smaller and the chips are smoothly discharged due to smooth contact with the protrusions → less damage to the tool.
