Some Studies on Chip Formation Mechanism in CNC Turning of Biocompatible Co-Cr-Mo Alloy

Biomanufacturing integrates life science and engineering basics to manufacture biocompatible products improving the superiority of living. Face turning is one of the important process producing the higher accuracy with surface finish on metal implants especially on sliding parts of metal-on-metal implants. Chip formation mechanism plays a vital role in manufacturing of superior quality implants. Present paper discusses the chip formation mechanism study by quantitative analysis of chip thickness ratio (rc) and analysed by Response Surface Methodology (RSM). It is seen that feed rate shows dominating effect on chip thickness ratio (rc) in dry face turning of Co-Cr-Mo alloy. Qualitative analysis of produced chips were analysed for study of metal mechanics in machining.
