Multiple parallel scratches are often analyzed to understand the material removal mechanisms due to abrasion. However, successive scratches with different orientations may represent better the conditions found in machining processes, such as honing and belt finishing. The objective of this work was to analyze the cutting forces and the phenomena of material removal due to abrasion, arising from angular scratches in low carbon steel. Experimental and numerical techniques were considered. In both, analyses considered the presence of an initial set of parallel scratches, followed by a second set of scratches with different orientations (10, 20 or 30°) with respect to the previous one. The cutting action was performed by a tool representing an abrasive particle, which had a cono-spherical geometry with 235 µm tip radius and 30° apex angle. The cutting settings were: 50 m/min scratch velocity and 100 µm depth …
