Study Notes
Manufacturing Technology 1 (MEC 112) - Basic Concepts
- Manufacturing is the industrial process of changing raw materials into finished products.
- Manufacturing technology encompasses all methods for shaping raw materials into final products, including forming, casting, welding, and machining.
- Machining is the process of removing unwanted material from a workpiece to achieve the desired size, shape, and surface quality.
- Nontraditional machining techniques are alternative methods for machining complex shapes in hard, strong, and tough materials that are challenging for traditional methods.
Machining
- Machining uses a cutting tool to remove metal.
- Hand tools (chisels, files, hacksaw blades) use muscular effort for metal removal, making them slow and expensive.
- Machine tools are power-operated devices designed to produce a specified surface by removing metal.
- The principle of all machine tools involves generating the required surface by controlling the relative motion between the cutting tool and the workpiece.
Generating Motions of Machine Tools
- Machine tools use relative motions between the cutting tool and workpiece to create surfaces.
- The removed material is called a chip.
- Flat and cylindrical surfaces are the simplest to generate using either primary or secondary motions on a machine tool.
Primary and Secondary Motions
- The primary motion is the main motion of a machine tool, causing relative movement between the tool and the workpiece.
- The secondary motion, or feed motion, combined with the primary motion creates a repeated or continuous movement that results in a finished machined surface with specific geometric properties.
- The primary motion normally uses a significantly higher proportion of the machine's power compared to the feed motion.
Cutting Speed (v) Variables
- Cutting speed (v) is the relative speed between the tool and the workpiece in the direction of the cut.
- For turning, drilling, and milling, cutting speed is calculated as: v = (πDN)/1000, where D is the workpiece diameter, N is the spindle rotational speed.
- For shaping, cutting speed is calculated as: v = (LN(1+k))/1000, where L is stroke length, N is reciprocation speed, k is a constant less than 1 (related to time for return stroke)
Feed (s)
- Feed is the feed travel per revolution of the workpiece (turning and drilling), or for shaping it is the feed per stroke (mm/stroke).
- In milling, feed is expressed as 'feed per tooth' (mm/tooth)
- Feed rate (U) = s N (mm/min) for turning and drilling; and U = s₂ z N (mm/min) for milling, where s is the feed per revolution, N is the rotational speed, and z is the number of cutter teeth.
Cutting Tools and Tool Geometry
- Cutting tools must have appropriate angles like rake angle and clearance angle for efficient metal removal.
- The rake angle facilitates chip formation.
- The clearance angle minimizes friction between the tool and the workpiece.
- Cutting tools are made of materials harder than the workpiece material to resist wear from friction, the most common examples being: plain carbon tool steels, alloy tool steels, high-speed steels, cemented carbides, ceramics, and diamonds. To withstand the wear and tear on the flank faces and rake faces.
