A wet, orthogonal and slow speed machining test was performed to determine an independent effect of cutting speed on the shear stress. The test meets the requirements of constant temperature and freedom from a built-up edge. The stress τ
s on the shear plane (kgf/mm
2) are expressed as a function of the cutting speed V (mm/min) or the shear strain rate γ (sec
(-1)).

Where, τ
1: Shear stress when V is 1mm/min, τ
1': Shear stress when γ is 1 sec
(-1), n: Exponent of cutting speed sensitivity, and m: Exponent of shear strain rate sensitivity. If γ in equation (2) is assumed as shown in equation (3), m equals n.

Where, Vs: Shear speed on the shear plane (mm/sec), and t
1: Depth of cut (mm). n and m in equations (1) and (2) are changed in the range from 0.052 to 0.092 with the rake angle of the tool and the depth of cut.
