近年来，高速切削（HSC）在工业应用中越来越重要。本文通过适当的参数对HSC进行了表征。确定并评估高速加工中的工艺值，作为详细描述切削力和切屑形成的基础。分析了切削力、材料流动和材料剪切在切削速度上的行为。结果表明，HSC范围的特点是切削力恒定，切屑形成分段，切屑压缩比低，变形深度小。

High speed cutting (HSC) has been found of increasing importance for industrial application in the last years. In this paper the HSC is characterized by suitable parameters. Process values in high speed machining are determined and evaluated to be a basis for a detailed characterization of the cutting forces and the chip formation. The behaviour of cutting forces, material flow, and material shear over the cutting speed is analyzed. The result shows that the HSC-range can be characterized by constant cutting forces, segmented chip formation, low chip compression ratio, and minor depth of deformation.
