Abstract
Methods of machining a body to produce a chip are provided wherein the body is formed of a material and in a state such that the material exhibits sinuous flow during a machining operation. The methods include providing a layer located on a surface of the body, and machining the body by causing engagement between a cutting tool and the body in a contact region below an area of the surface having the coating layer thereon and moving the cutting tool relative to the body to produce the chip having the layer thereon. The layer reduces sinuous flow in the material of the body and the chip is formed primarily by laminar flow.
