2. The cutting area
2.1 Chip removal process
Regardless of the machining process involved, the material removal process involves the mechanical action of the cutting tool on the material. This process requires a significant amount of energy. The machined part (the material) and the cutting part (the tool) are then subjected to different mechanical, thermal, chemical, and tribological loads (Figure 2 ).
