Metal deformation in the cutting process is the physical change a material undergoes when shaped by a tool.

Cutting heat, which primarily comes from material deformation and friction and is the energy consumed during cutting, must be managed in CNC machining because the resulting cutting temperature—most affected by cutting speed and material properties—can compromise part quality, warp materials, and shorten tool life.
