    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.
