2. INTRODUCTION Components are made into various shapes and sizes by using metals. Depending the types of tools and operations. During the metal removal process, various forces act on the cutting tool and work piece.

3. Metal Removing P rocess Non-cutting process (or) Chipless process Forging, Drawing, Spinning, Rolling, Extruding Cutting process (or) Chip process Turning, Drilling, Milling, Planer, Shaping

4. Mechanism of metal cutting

5. Mechanism of Chip Formation The type of chip formed during metal cutting depends upon the machining condition and material to be cut. The following variables are influencing in producing the type of chip such as Mechanical properties of material to be cut in particular ductility and brittleness. Depth of cut Various angles of tool especially rake angle Cutting speed Feed rate Type of cutting fluid Surface finish required on work piece

6. SINGLE POINT CUTTING TOOL

7. Nomenclature of Single Point Cutting Tool Parts of a single point cutting tool Angles of single point cutting tool Effects of Back rake angle Effects of Side rake angle

8. Parts of a single point cutting tool Shank Face Flank Base Nose Cutting Edge

9. Shank: Main body of tool, it is part of tool which is gripped in tool holder Face: Top surface of tool b/w shank and point of tool. Chips flow along this surface. Flank: Portion tool which faces the work. It is surface adjacent to & below the cutting edge when tool lies in a horizontal position. Base : Bearing surface of tool on which it is held in a tool holder. Nose radius: Cutting tip, which carries a sharp cutting point. Nose provided with radius to enable greater strength, increase tool life & surface life. Cutting edge: It is the junction of face and flank.

10. Angles of single point cutting tool Rake angle Back rake angle Side rake angle Relief angle (or) clearance angle End relief angle Side relief angle Cutting edge angle End cutting edge Side cutting edge Nose radius

11. Effects of Back rake angle

12. When will be the positive rake angle used? To machine the work hardened materials To machine low strength ferrous and non-ferrous metals To turn the long shaft of smaller diameters To machine the metal having lesser recommended cutting speeds When will be the negative rake angle used? To machine high strength alloys The feed rates are high To give heavy and interrupted cuts

13. Effects of side rake angle During the cutting process, the amount of chip bend depends on side rake angle.

14. Tool Signature Tool angles given in a definite pattern is called tool signature. The tool angle have been standardized by the American Standards Association (ASA). Back rake angle Side rake angle End relief angle Side relief angle End cutting edge angle Side cutting edge angle Nose radius

15. Types of chip formation Continuous chip Discontinuous chip Continuous chip with built-up edge

16. Continuous chip During cutting of ductile material, a continuous ribbon such as chip is produced due to pressure of the tool cutting edge in compression and shear. It gives the advantage of, Good surface finish Improving tool life Less power consumption However, the chip disposal is not easy and the surface finish of the finished work get affected.

17. The following condition favors the formation of continuous chips Ductile material such as low carbon steel, aluminum, copper etc. Smaller depth of cut High cutting speed Large rake angle Sharp cutting edge Proper cutting fluid Low friction between tool face and chip interface.

18. Discontinuous chip Discontinuous chip produced while machining brittle materials such as grey cast iron, bronze, high carbon steel at low cutting speeds without fluids. During machining the brittle material lacks its ductility which results for plastic chip formation.

19. The following condition favors the formation of discontinuous chips Machining of brittle material Small rake angle Higher depth of cut Low cutting speeds Excess cutting fluid Cutting ductile material at very low feeds with small rake angle of the tool.

20. Continuous chip with built-up edge During the cutting process, the interface temperature and pressure are quite high and also high fiction between tool-chip interface. It causes the chip material to weld itself to the tool face near the nose is called “built-up edge”. This process gives the poor surface finish on the machined surface and accelerated wears on the tool face.

21. The following condition favors the formation of discontinuous chips with built-up edge. Low cutting speed Small rake angle Coarse feed Strong adhesion between chips and tool interface Insufficient cutting fluid Large uncut thickness

22. Types of metal cutting process Orthogonal cutting process (Two – dimensional cutting) Cutting edge of the tool is perpendicular to the cutting velocity vector. Oblique cutting process (Three dimensional cutting) Cutting edge is inclined at an acute angle with the normal to the cutting velocity vector.

23. Sl No Orthogonal cutting process Oblique cutting process 1 The chip flows over the tool face and the direction of chip flow velocity is normal to the cutting edge. The chip flows on the tool face making an angle with the normal on the cutting edge. 2 The maximum chip thickness occurs at its middle. The maximum chip thickness may not occur at the middle. 3 Tool is perfectly sharp and it contacts the chip on rake face only. Frequently, more than one cutting edges are in action. 4 Tool life is less Tool life is more

24. Thermal aspects The heat is generated in three region such as shear zone, chip tool interface region and tool work interface region. Shear zone The zone which is affected by the energy required to shear the chip or to separate the chip and work is called shear zone . The heat generation range is 80-85% Chip - tool interface region The energy used to overcome the friction completely is the source of the heat. The heat generation range is 15-20% Tool - work interface region The energy is supplied to overcome the rubbing friction between flank face of the tool and work piece is the source of the heat. The heat generation range is 1-3%

25. The tool temperature increases due to the following factors such as Cutting speed Feed Properties of tool materials etc.

26. TOOL WEAR Attrition

27. Diffusion

28. Classification of tool wear Flank wear Feed < 0.15 mm/revolution Crater wear Nose wear

29. TOOL LIFE Tool life is defined as the cutting time required for reaching a tool life criterion or time elapsed between two consecutive tool resharpening . The following are some of ways of expressing tool life. Volume of metal removed per grind Number of work pieces machined per grind Time unit

30. Factors affecting tool life Cutting speed Feed and depth of cut Tool geometry Tool material Cutting fluid Work material Rigidity of work, tool and machine

31. Cutting speed

32. Feed and depth of cut

33. Tool geometry

34. SURFACE FINISH Generally, the surface finish of any product depends on the following factors. Cutting speed Feed Depth of cut

35. CUTTING FLUIDS Cutting fluids are used to carry away the heat produced during the machining. At the same time, it reduces the friction between tool and chip.

36. Functions of cutting fluids It prevents the work piece from excessive thermal distortion It improves the surface finish It causes the chips to break up into small parts. It protects the finished surface from corrosion. It washes away the chip from the tool. It prevents the corrosion of work and machine.

37. Properties of cutting fluids It should have the high heat absorbing capacity It should be odourless It should be non-corrosive to work and tool It should have high flash point It should have low viscosity It should be economical to use

38. Types of cutting fluids Basically two main type of cutting fluids Water based cutting fluids Straight (or) heat oil based cutting fluids

39. Water based cutting fluids To improve the cooling and lubricating properties of water, the soft soap or mineral oils are added to it. These oils are known as soluble oils .

40. Straight (or) heat oil based cutting fluids Straight oil based cutting fluids means pure oil based fluids. Most of the oils are not directly used but it is mixed with other oils. It is classified into the following subgroups Mineral oils Straight fatty oils Mixed oils Sulphurised oils Chlorinated oils

41. Methods of applying cutting fluids Cutting fluids are used in many ways such as Drop by drop under gravity Flood under gravity Form of liquid jet Atomised form with compressed air Through centrifugal action

42. MACHINABILITY Machinability is defined as the ease with which a material can be satisfactorily machined. It can also be defined as follows The life of tool before tool failure The quantity of the machined surface The power consumption per unit volume of material removed.

43. Variables affecting machinability Work variables Tool variables Machine variables Cutting conditions

44. Evaluation of machinability Tool life per grind Rate of metal removal per tool grind Surface finish Dimensional stability of the finished work Chip hardness Shape and size of chips

45. Advantages of high machinability Good surface finish can be produced Higher cutting speed can be used Less power consumption Metal removal rate is high Less tool wear

46. Machinability index Machinability index I = I = The machinability index for some common materials is given by Low carbon steel - 55 - 60% Stainless steel - 25% Aluminium alloy - 390 - 1500%
