Study Notes
Turning Operations
- Key types of turning operations include:
- Facing: creating flat surfaces on the workpiece.
- Taper turning: produces conical shapes.
- Contour turning: shapes workpieces into specific profiles.
- Form turning: shapes created based on a specific contour, typically not cylindrical.
- Chamfering: forming beveled edges.
- Cutoff: removing sections from a workpiece.
- Threading: creating threaded surfaces.
- Boring: enlarging existing holes.
- Drilling: creating new holes.
Engine Lathe
- Engine lathe is essential for various turning operations, featuring principal components that allow for precise control of the cutting process.
Workpiece Holding Methods in Lathe
- Workpieces can be secured using:
- Between centers: accuracy through central alignment.
- Chuck: clamping mechanism for various shapes.
- Collet: holds cylindrical workpieces securely.
- Face plate: used for irregularly shaped workpieces.
Turning Parameters and Calculations
- Example calculation:
- Initial diameter: 104 mm reduced to 100 mm.
- Cutting speed: 5.0 m/s; feed: 0.40 mm/rev; length: 400 mm.
- Rotation speed (N): 15.303 rev/s; feed rate (fr): 6.121 mm/s; time (Tm): 65.35 seconds.
- Removal depth (d): 2.0 mm; removal rate (Rmr): 4000 mm³/s.
Milling Operations
- Key types of milling:
- Peripheral milling: cutter axis parallel to surface.
- Face milling: cutter axis perpendicular to surface.
- Slab, slotting, side, straddle, and form milling are various forms of peripheral milling.
- Conventional and partial face milling, end milling, profile milling, pocket milling, and surface contouring are types of face milling.
Knee-And-Column Milling Machines
- Available in both horizontal and vertical designs, facilitating various milling tasks.
Material Removal Processes
- Machining involves shaping workpieces by removing material with cutting tools, including:
- Turning, milling, and drilling.
- Abrasive processes utilize hard particles.
- Nontraditional methods employ different energy forms for material removal.
Cutting Tools
- Classified into two main categories:
- Single-point tools: primarily used in turning, with one dominant cutting edge.
- Multiple-cutting-edge tools: utilized in drilling and milling, allowing for faster material removal.
Tool Failure Modes
- Common failure modes include:
- Fracture failure: excessive cutting force leads to brittle breaks.
- Temperature failure: overheating of tool materials.
- Gradual wear: includes crater wear on rake face and flank wear on the side.
Taylor Tool Life Equation
- Describes the relationship between cutting speed (v), tool life (T), and tool wear (n and C) where:
- vT^n = C, with n as slope and C as tool life criterion intercept.
Power and Energy Relationships
- Power requirements for machining operations:
- Cutting power (Pc) calculated via Pc = Fc * v.
- Horsepower conversion: HPc = Fc * v / 33,000.
- Gross power (Pg) takes machine efficiency into account.
- Unit power (Pu) is the power per unit volume rate of metal cut.
Specific Energy in Machining
- Specific energy (U) relates power to material removal rate, expressed as U = Pc / RMR, with units in N-m/mm³ or J/mm³.
Example Machining Power Calculation
- Given conditions for a turning operation evaluate power drawn by a lathe based on cutting speed, feed, depth, and efficiency.
