How to Calculate and Solve for Chip Reduction Factor | Mechanics of Chip Formation

The image above represents chip reduction factor. To calculate chip reduction factor, one essential parameter is needed and this parameter is cutting ratio (r).

The compute for chip reduction factor:

ζ = 1 / r

Where:

ζ = Chip Reduction Factor
r = Cutting Ratio

Let’s solve an example;
Find the chip reduction factor when the cutting ratio is 30.

This implies that;

r = Cutting Ratio = 30

ζ = 1 / r
So, ζ = 1 / 30
ζ = 0.033

Therefore, the chip reduction factor is 0.033.

Unlock solutions for every math, physics, engineering, and chemistry problem with step-by-step clarity. No internet required. Just knowledge at your fingertips, anytime, anywhere.

This implies that;

ζ = Chip Reduction Factor = 14

Then, r = ζ / 1
r = 14 / 1
r = 14

Therefore, the cutting ratio is 14.
