The reported paper presents a field pattern of sliding lines in a plastic zone of flow chip formation in the process of cutting metals considered for front and rear angles on the cutting blade other than zero. Equations of sliding lines for these conditions are proposed. Using calculation data, plasticity zone border lines are plotted for positive and negative front angles. The paper suggests methods and calculation data on average stress and plane stress state components in nodal points of the plastic zone of chip formation. The study provides data for plotting distribution diagrams of normal and tangential stresses of contact stresses on work surfaces of a cutting blade.
