Abstract

Production of machined surfaces with optimized mechanical properties requires fundamental process-structure-property knowledge. In this work we focus on structure-property gradients in orthogonally cut OFHC Copper chips and the workpiece subsurface. We utilize orientation imaging microscopy and statistical spatial correlation metrics to quantify the microstructure. Constitutive elastic-plastic properties of the workpiece subsurface and chips are measured using spherical nanoindentation. Analysis of the data reveals significant structure and property gradients in both regions. Differences and similarities in structure and property gradients near the workpiece surface and tool-chip interface, and in the chip middle are discussed and explained.
