                Segmental chips are semi-continuous. These are formed in those materials which have low thermal conductivity like titanium, cast iron etc.

                Segmental chips are semicontinuous chips.
Mild steel is correct answer when,
Feed is large.
Depth of cut large.
Cutting fluid present.

                It can resist compressive loads, the chips are discontinuous or segmented because it is mixed graphite. So the chips are discontinuous.

                Continuous chips form during machining ductile material. Cast iron contain large % of carbon than steels hence it is harder than steel.

                Segmental means discontinuous, breked chips are formed during machining, cast iron is brittle material so it formed segmental chips.

                The chip is produced in the form of small pieces. These types of chips are obtained while machining brittle material like cast iron.

                Cast iron is a brittle and hard material. So very small parts or segmental form of chips are crated during machining of cast iron.

                Can it be generalised that higher the carbon content, higher will be the tendency of the material to form segmental chips?

                For the materials like cast iron and bronze, chips break up into small segments due to the property of having brittleness.

                Due to highest amount of carbon content the structure becomes brittle so cast iron gives discontinuous or segment chips.
