Study Notes
Metal Cutting
- Metal cutting is a complex process.
- Inputs include: machine tool, cutting tool, workpiece properties, cutting parameters, workpiece holding devices.
Process Overview
- Metal cutting involves removing material from a workpiece.
- Seven basic chip formation processes: turning, milling, drilling, sawing, broaching, shaping and planing, and grinding.
Core Machining Terms
- Speed (V): Velocity of the cutting tool relative to the workpiece, measured in units of surface feet per minute (sfpm), inches per minute (in./min), meters per minute (m/m), or meters per second (m/s).
- Feed (fr): Amount of material removed per revolution or per pass of the tool over the workpiece. Measured in units of inches per revolution, inches per cycle, inches per minute, or inches per tooth.
- Depth of Cut (DOC): Distance the tool is plunged into the surface. Half the difference in initial diameter (D1) and final diameter (D2).
Cutting Speed and Spindle RPM
- The cutting speed (V) influences the surface speed of the rotating workpiece.
- The relationship is described by the equation: V = πD1Ns / 12.
- Ns is the revolutions per minute (rpm) of the workpiece.
- Cutting speed is selected based on the cutting tool material and geometry.
Cutting Speed & Feed Rate Selection
- Cutting speed, feed rate, and DOC selection require experience and experimentation.
- Tables are used as starting points.
- Industrial calculations should refer to standard references or cutting tool manufacturers.
Metal Removal Rate (MRR)
- MRR is the volume of metal removed per unit time.
- For turning, MRR is estimated using the formula: MRR = πD1frNs / 4.
- MRR is used to estimate power requirements.
Machining Processes
- Single-point tool processes: Turning.
- Multiple-point tool processes: Milling and drilling.
Forces and Power in Machining
- There are three primary forces:
- Fc: Primary cutting force, along the cutting velocity vector.
- Ff: Feed force, in the direction of the tool feed.
- Fr: Radial or thrust force, perpendicular to the machined surface.
- Increasing speed, feed, or DOC increases power requirements.
- Speed primarily affects tool life, while cutting force is primarily influenced by feed and DOC.
- Horsepower (HP) is calculated using the equation: HP = (FcV) / 33,000.
Specific Horsepower (HPs)
- HPs is the power required to remove one cubic inch of metal per minute.
- HPs is calculated using the equation: HPs = HP / MRR.
Chip Formation
- Chip formation is a localized shear process that occurs across a narrow zone.
- The shear process dictates the chip shape.
