Advances in Engineering: Microstructural aspects of metal cutting

The work focuses on the microstructural aspects that characterize the chip generation during metal cutting in two different scenarios defined by two different deformation mechanisms. This research sums up inputs from fundamentals of physics and from manufacturing techniques to explain a transition in material behavior which has not be explained previously, and which establishes new methodologies for future enhancements in metal manufacturing.
