RT Journal Article SR Electronic A1 Pálmai, Zoltán T1 Model of chip formation during turning in the presence of a built-up edge (BUE) JF Manufacturing Technology Journal YR 2012 VO 12 IS 2 SP 207 OP 212 DO 10.21062/ujep/x.2012/a/1213-2489/MT/12/2/207 UL https://journalmt.com/artkey/mft-201202-0023.php AB During turning, in the course of the deformation of the material, a metallic deposit, a so-called built-up edge (BUE), may occasionally form, which may damage the surface and shorten the tool life. We have observed the effect thereof on chip formation using microscopic techniques and have developed a mathematical model for this process. Laboratory experience confirms the numeric solution of the time-delayed autonomous differential equations. This model can be applied to other technologies as well where the thickness of the undeformed chip varies.
