10)In metal cutting operations, chips are formed due to
-
a)linear deformation
-
b)shear deformation
-
c)linear translation
-
d)all of these
B
Correct answer
Explanation
In metal cutting operations, chips are formed primarily due to shear deformation. The cutting tool applies force that causes the material to shear along a shear plane, creating chips that curl and break away. Linear deformation and translation are not the primary mechanisms.
