This paper describes the changes in chip formation due to a significant increase of cutting speed. Furthermore, the high speed cutting range is defined from the point of view of the cutting power requirements. Finally, a boundary cutting speed is introduced, which indicates the beginning of the high cutting speed range. The dependence of the boundary cutting speed on the mechanical and thermodynamic properties of the workpiece material is presented.en1748-572X20072176185chip formationcutting temperaturehigh speed cuttingJournal Article10.1504/IJMMM.2007.013781Other
