Study Notes

Material Removal Processes in Machining

Material removal processes in machining involve cutting, abrasion, and erosion to remove unwanted material from a workpiece.

Abrasive Machining Processes

Abrasive machining processes can successfully cut materials such as glass, ceramics, and hardened steels.

Geometries Created by Machining Processes

Machining processes can create various geometries, including round, flat, and irregular shapes.

Advantages of Machining

One of the advantages of machining is its ability to achieve high dimensional accuracy.

Difficult-to-Machine Materials

Materials that pose difficulties for machining due to their high hardness and brittleness include glass, ceramics, and hardened steels.

Primary Purpose of Machining Processes

The primary purpose of machining processes is to remove unwanted material from a workpiece to achieve the desired shape, size, and finish.

Tool Characteristics

Tools with a negative rake angle are used for cutting hard materials.

Chip Formation

When relatively brittle materials are machined at low cutting speeds, a discontinuous chip is formed.
When ductile work materials are cut at high speeds and small feeds and depths, a continuous chip is formed.
Segmented chips possess a saw-tooth appearance due to a cyclical chip formation of alternating high shear strain followed by low shear strain.

Tool Materials

Tungsten carbide (WC) is a class of hard material formulated from tungsten carbide using powder metallurgy techniques.
Ceramic cutting tools are primarily composed of alumina (Al2O3) and silicon carbide (SiC).
Coated carbides are made of a tungsten carbide substrate with a thin layer of titanium carbide (TiC) or titanium nitride (TiN).
Diamond is the hardest material known.

Tool Steel Characteristics

High-speed tool steel is capable of maintaining hardness at elevated temperatures better than high carbon and low alloy steels.
