Saw-tooth-shaped burr and fin-shaped chip edge continuously impacts the rake face and flank face at high speed and high fre-quency, which results in a V-shaped notch wear. An experiment was done to validate that the saw-tooth-shaped burr does affect the notch wear. This model can be utilized to solve reasonably many problems that cannot be explained by any other theoretical assumptions.展开更多
