Specific Cutting Force (KC1 or KC1.1)
Each material has a Specific Cutting Force coefficient that expresses the force in the
cutting direction required to cut a chip area of one square millimeter that has a
thickness of 1 millimeter with a top rake angle of 0°, hence the name KC1.1. It ranges
between 700 to 4000 N/mm^2 and is the primary factor affecting the final result of the KC
calculation. (KC1 values can be found in the below charts.)
Typical values of Specific Cutting Forces for the main material groups in
N/mm^2
How To Calculate KC
Since KC1.1 is normalized to 1 mm at 0° rake, we need to calculate the actual specific cutting force KC
coefficient suitable for our conditions. To perform the calculations, we will need to obtain 4 parameters.
K C = K C 1.1 × H M − M C × (1 − 0.01 × G A M F )
KC1.1 – Normalized Specific cutting Force [KPSI] or [KW] – Obtained from the below chart
MC – Curve slope of the KC graph. – Obtained from the below chart
GAMF – Top rake angle. – Obtained from the tool/insert catalog or drawing.
HM – Chip thickness [Inch] or [mm] – Needs to be calculated per application.
Each cutting tool has a radial rake angle. The angle is measured
between the cutting edge and the workpiece. Therefore when an
indexable insert is mounted on a tool holder, you should use the
combined angle (the angle of the top rake relative to the tool’s
clamping plane when the insert is mounted in the pocket). A
reputable tool supplier will provide this angle in his catalogs. If you
have trouble obtaining it, use +7° as a default value since most
cutting tools have a slight positive rake angle.
Drilling – The chip thickness is simply the feed per revolution. HM=FN
Parting/Grooving – The chip thickness is simply the feed per revolution. HM=FN
Turning – The chip thickness depends on the approach angle (KAPR).
When the approach angle is 90° (or more), use the feed per revolution
as the chip thickness HM=FN
As the approach angle gets smaller, the chip thickness is reduced
according to the formula: HM = FN X SIN(KAPR)
When the approach angle is 90° (Standard straight cutters), use the
feed per revolution as the chip thickness HM=FN
As the approach angle gets smaller, the chip thickness is reduced
according to the formula: HM = FN X SIN(KAPR)
For round shapes, the formula is more complicated and is not covered
here.
