How to Calculate and Solve for Chip Reduction Factor | Mechanics of Chip Formation
Last Updated on April 27, 2024
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.

Calculating the Cutting Ratio when the Chip Reduction Factor is Given
r = ζ / 1
Where;
r = Cutting Ratio
ζ = Chip Reduction Factor
Let’s solve an example;
Find the cutting ration when the chip reduction factor is 14.
This implies that;
ζ = Chip Reduction Factor = 14
Then, r = ζ / 1
r = 14 / 1
r = 14
Therefore, the cutting ratio is 14.
