Preface

There is a substantial increase in the specific energy required with a decrease in the depth of cut during micromachining. It is believed this is due to the fact that all metals contain defects such as grain boundaries, missing and impurity atoms, substitutional atoms, defects, secondary phases, etc., and when the size of the material removed decreases the probability of encountering a stress—reducing defect decreases. Since the shear stress and strain in metal cutting is unusually high, discontinuous microcracks usually form on the primary shear plane. If the material is very brittle, or the compressive stress on the shear plane is relatively low, microcracks will grow into larger cracks giving rise to discontinuous chip formation. When discontinuous microcracks f
