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).
