Q1.
In an experimental turning operation where low-carbon steel was being machined using a carbide
tool, the following data were taken:
Cutting force Fc = 1 kN
Thrust force Ft = 0.5 kN
Working normal rake γne = 20 degrees
Feed f = 0.141 mm
Working major cutting-edge angle κr = 45 degrees
Depth of cut (back engagement) ap = 5 mm
Cutting speed v = 2 m/s
Cutting ratio rc = 0.2
Workpiece diameter dw = 100 mm
Workpiece machined length lw = 300 mm
Estimate from the data given:
a. The specific cutting energy of the work material ps
b. The power required for machining Pm
c. The undeformed chip thickness ac
d. The width of cut aw
e. The shear angle φ
f. The mean angle of friction on the tool face β
g. The time taken to complete the machining operation
Q2.
Show that in metal cutting when the working normal rake is zero, the ratio of the shear strength of
the work material 𝜏𝑠 to the specific cutting energy 𝑝𝑠 is given by
𝜏𝑠 (1 − 𝜇𝑟𝑐 )𝑟𝑐
=
𝑝𝑠 1 + 𝑟𝑐2
Q3.
A slab milling operation is being carried out with a 100-mm diameter milling cutter having 8 teeth at
30 m/min. The depth of cut is 4 mm and table feed rate is 150 mm/min. The width of the workpiece
is 120 mm. Find the average cross-sectional area of the undeformed chip.
Q4.
In turning of a slotted pipe of diamond 90 mm, the chip produced was 125-mm long. If 𝜙 = 90°, 𝛾 =
20°, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠 = 0.2 𝑚𝑚/𝑟𝑒𝑣, determine the length of the shear plane.
