This study focused on the tool topography and chip formation during machining of aluminium-silicon carbide particulate composites. The Al/SiC composites with different volume fraction of reinforcements were machined with cemented carbide tool inserts. The effects of volume fraction, cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and time of machining on chip disposability, chip thickness ratio, and shear angle were studied. The quick-stop sections and chip cross sections at different conditions were also observed. The tool topography was also analyzed.
