Study Notes
Metal Cutting Mechanism
- Metal cutting involves using a wedge-shaped tool to remove material from a workpiece in the form of a chip.
- Two motions are involved: primary (workpiece rotation) and secondary (tool feed).
- Orthogonal cutting: cutting face perpendicular to tool travel direction.
- Oblique cutting: cutting edge inclined at an angle less than 90 degrees to tool travel direction.
Types of Metal Cutting
- Orthogonal cutting: Cutting tool moves directly into the workpiece at a right angle.
- Oblique cutting: Cutting tool engages with the workpiece material at an angle other than 90 degrees.
- Waterjet cutting: Uses high-pressure water for metal particle erosion.
- Plasma cutting: Uses an electric arc through gas to cut metal.
- Laser cutting: Uses focused laser beams to melt and vaporize metal.
- Flame cutting: Uses an oxy-fuel torch to heat and cut metal.
- Metal turning: Removes material from a rotating workpiece using a single-point cutting tool.
Tool Geometry
- Rake angle (γ): Angle of inclination of rake surface from reference plane.
- Clearance angle (α): Angle of inclination of clearance surface from the finished surface.
- Rake angle can be positive, negative, or zero.
- Positive rake: Reduces cutting force and power requirement.
- Negative rake: Increases edge strength and tool life.
- Zero rake: Simplifies tool design and manufacture.
- Clearance angle: Prevents rubbing between the tool and the machined surface, reducing energy loss and damage.
Tool Signature in ASA System
- Reference Plane (Ï€R): Perpendicular to the cutting velocity vector.
- Machine Longitudinal Plane (Ï€X): Perpendicular to the reference plane, along the longitudinal feed direction.
- Machine Transverse Plane (Ï€Y): Perpendicular to the reference plane, along the transverse feed direction.
Tool Signature in ORS System
- Similar to ASA system, but uses Cutting plane, Orthogonal plane, and Reference plane for reference.
- Side Rake Angle (γX): Angle of rake surface measured in the machine longitudinal plane.
- Back Rake Angle (γY): Angle of rake surface measured in the machine transverse plane.
- Side Clearance Angle (αX): Angle of principal flank surface measured in the machine longitudinal plane.
- Back Clearance Angle (αY): Angle of principal flank surface measured in the machine transverse plane.
- Approach Angle (Φs): Angle between principal cutting edge and the machine transverse plane.
- End Cutting Edge Angle (Φe): Angle between auxiliary cutting edge and the machine longitudinal plane.
- Nose Radius (r): Curvature at the tool tip (measured in inches in ASA, millimeters in ORS).
Cutting Fluids
- Mineral Oil: Good lubricating properties, suitable for high production machines and heavy cutting operations.
- Synthetic Liquids: Water-based, good cooling properties but not ideal lubricants, can cause corrosion.
- Semi-Synthetic Fluids: Combination of synthetic fluid and soluble oils, provides both cooling and lubricating properties.
- Solid and Paste Lubricants: Applied directly to the workpiece or tool, examples include molybdenum disulfide, graphite, wax stick.
- Cutting Oil: Mixture of mineral oils and fatty oils, provides both cooling and lubricating properties.
