Study Notes
Material Removal Processes
- Machining is a material removal process that is wasteful in terms of material usage, as it generates chips that are considered waste.
- Machining operations are generally time-consuming compared to other shaping processes like casting or forging.
- Machining is often performed after other processes, such as casting or bulk deformation, to achieve final geometry, dimensions, and surface finish.
Types of Machining Operations
- Turning is used to generate a cylindrical shape using a single-edged cutting tool on a rotating workpiece.
- Drilling creates round holes with a rotating tool (typically with two cutting edges) fed into the workpiece parallel to its axis of rotation.
- Milling involves a rotating multi-edged tool fed across the workpiece to produce planes or straight surfaces. The feed motion is perpendicular to the tool's rotation axis.
The Cutting Tool
- Cutting tools are made from materials harder than the workpiece material, with sharp cutting edges to separate chips from the work material.
- A cutting tool has two main surfaces: the rake face and the flank.
- The rake face, which guides the chip flow, is oriented at a specific angle called the rake angle (α) relative to a plane perpendicular to the work surface.
Cutting Conditions
- Finishing cuts achieve final dimensions, tolerances, and surface finish.
- Before finishing, roughing cuts are performed to remove material and prepare for final shaping.
- Typical finishing operations have feeds of 0.125–0.4 mm and depths of 0.75–2.0 mm, with lower cutting speeds than roughing.
Cutting Conditions
- Cutting fluids are used to cool and lubricate the cutting tool during machining.
- Selecting the right cutting fluid is crucial for the success of the machining operation.
Machine Tools
- Conventional machine tools often require human operators to load/unload work parts, change tools, and set cutting conditions.
- Modern machine tools utilize computer numerical control (CNC) for automation.
- A machine tool holds the workpiece, positions the tool relative to the work, and provides power for the machining process with specific speed, feed, and depth settings.
Machining and Part Geometry
- Machined parts can be classified as rotational (cylindrical or disk-like) or non-rotational (prismatic).
- Rotational parts are created by removing material from a rotating workpiece with a cutting tool.
Cutting Conditions in Turning
- The machining time, Tm, for turning a cylindrical workpiece is determined by the length of the workpart and the feed rate.
- An additional length can be added to the work part to account for tool approach and overtravel, making the actual feed motion longer than Tm.
Cutting Conditions in Turning
- The volumetric rate of material removal is calculated using the cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut.
Operations Related to Turning
- Various operations are performed on a lathe, such as boring, drilling, reaming, and knurling.
- Boring uses single-point tools fed linearly along the axis of rotation to create a hole's inside diameter.
- Drilling uses drill bits to create holes.
- Reaming is used to enlarge and improve the tolerance of existing holes.
- Knurling is a metal forming operation used to create a cross-hatched pattern on the work surface, using a knurling tool with hardened forming rolls.
