Chip flow analysis during the turning of an aircraft part made of stainless steel

The paper describes research concerning the method of the chips forming for the face turning of stainless steel CPW-S-5643. In the study a series of tests of finishing and roughing turning were carried out. A process of chip formation in the cutting zone was recorded using the high speed camera Phantom 5.2. The direction and speed of the chips flow were estimated in the computer program for analysis of the point movement. An effort was made to determine the approximate trajectory of the chip flow in the XYZ system.
