General Formula for Optimum Location of Chip Breaker in Tool Inserts for Industrial Safety

Metal cutting process depends on chip generation for its effectiveness. It is a measurable quantity which largely depends on the nature of chips generated and its effect on the tool performance. This paper shall consider occupational health and safety to address the concept of chip breakers used in machining of ductile materials. The mechanics of metal cutting shall be the basis for the said derivation with the premise being that of fracture on account of a combined state of bending and shear stresses during the chip propagation. This can be effective to design tool inserts with optima in perspective so that the end users being machine operators are ensured with a safe working zone without the presence of long continuous chips that can cause hazards like bodily injury or severing of delicate organs thereby meeting the international standard requirements. Towards the end, various health and safety aspects shall be summarized and a conclusion shall be drawn accordingly.
