    Study Notes

    Machining Fundamentals

    • Speed (V) is the primary cutting motion: it refers to the tool's velocity relative to the workpiece. Common units include surface feet per minute (sfpm), inches per minute (in./min), meters per minute (m/m), or meters per second (m/s).
    • Feed (fr) is the material removed per revolution or per pass of the tool: In turning, it's measured in inches per revolution. Other units include inches per cycle, inches per minute, or inches per tooth.
    • Depth of Cut (DOC) is the third dimension: In turning, it's the distance the tool is plunged into the workpiece, calculated as half the difference between the initial diameter (D1) and the final diameter (D2).
    • Cutting Speed (V) & RPM (Ns): Cutting speed is directly related to the outer diameter of the workpiece and determines the RPM. The formula is: V = πDNs/12, where:
      • V is the cutting speed (sfpm)
      • D is the outer diameter (inches)
      • Ns is the revolutions per minute (rpm)
    • Cutting Tool Material & Geometry: These influence the selection of the cutting speed. For instance, the tool determines the chip formation process and plays a critical role in machining.
    • Tables of Recommended Values: Metcut's Machinability Data Handbook provides tables for selecting speed and feed for turning. These tables offer conservative starting points for determining operational parameters.
    • Metal Removal Rate (MRR): MRR is calculated as the volume of material removed per unit time. For turning: MRR = πDfrNs/4
    • Horsepower Requirements: The power required for cutting is determined by the metal removal rate. The formula is: HP = MRR x HPs, where HPs is the unit horsepower, representing the power needed to remove a cubic inch of metal per minute.
    • Chip Formation: Chip formation is a localized shear process resulting from the interaction of the tool and workpiece. The chip's shape and size depend on the tool geometry, feed, and cutting speed.

    Forces and Power in Machining

    • Three-Force Cutting: A majority of machining processes involve oblique cutting, generating three main forces:
      • Fc (Primary Cutting Force): Acts in the direction of the cutting velocity vector. Usually, the largest and accounts for most of the power.
      • Ff (Feed Force): Acts in the direction of the tool feed. Typically around 50% of Fc but contributes less to power.
      • Fr (Radial or Thrust Force): Acts perpendicular to the machined surface.
    • Power Requirements: Increasing speed, feed, or depth of cut increases the power needed. Doubling the speed doubles the horsepower. Doubling feed or depth of cut doubles the cutting force, Fc. Speed doesn't directly affect Fc, but it has a significant impact on tool life due to heat generation.
    • Unit Horsepower (HPs): HPs is a key parameter:
      • HPs = HP / MRR
      • This term represents the approximate power required at the spindle to remove a cubic inch of metal per minute.

    Basic Machining Processes

    • Turning: Single-point tool process.
    • Milling & Drilling: Multi-point tool processes.

    German Terminology

    • Machining Processes: Bearbeitungsprozesse
    • Turning: Drehen
    • Drilling: Bohren
    • Milling: Fräsen
    • Sawing: Sägen
    • Cutting Parameters: Schneidparameter
    • Speed: Geschwindigkeit
    • Depth of Cut: Schnitttiefe
    • Strain: Belastung
    • Tensile Strength: Zugfestigkeit
