Machining Operations

In MACHINING, the shape, size, finish and accuracy are obtained by removing the
excess material from the workpiece surface.

Various surfaces are obtained as an interaction between a workpiece and a cutting


tool with the help of a contrivance known as MACHINE TOOL.

Cutting Tools & Types of Machining

A Typical Lathe Tool


Wedge-Shaped tool

Orthogonal Cutting
Oblique Cutting

Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur 12


Cutting Tools & Types of Machining

Orthogonal Cutting
Cutting edge is straight, parallel to the original
plane surface at the work piece and perpendicular
to the direction of cutting.

Oblique Cutting
Cutting edge of the tool is inclined to the line
normal to the cutting direction. In actual
machining, Turning, Milling etc/ cutting
operations are oblique cutting

Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical

Tool Angles
Rake Angles ()
Influence cutting forces, power and surface
finish
Large
lowers forces and improves surface finish
In general, power consumption by ~ 1% for 1
degree change in
Has adverse effect on tool strength because
less metal is available to support the tool.
Greatly reduced capacity to conduct heat away
from the cutting edge

14
Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur
Tool Angles
0 or negative rake angles employed on carbide,
ceramic and similar hard tools
Increases tool forces, but keeps the tool in
compression and provides added support to the
cutting edge
Particularly important in making intermittent cuts
and in absorbing impact during initial toolworkpiece
contact
Rake angles: 5 15 degrees for HSS; Lower for
harder materials.

15
Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur
Tool Angles
Flank Angle
Minimizes rubbing of flank faces with the
machined surface
Higher values of flank angle will reduce
rubbing but also weaken the tool
Flank angles have no influence on cutting
forces and power. So angles large enough to
avoid rubbing is generally chosen
Angle: 5 12 degrees for HSS; higher for
softer and lower for brittle material

16
Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur
Tool Angles
Cutting Edge Angles:
Provided to clear the cutting edge from the machined surface

Chip-Breaking
The chip breaker breaks the produced chips into small pieces.
The work hardening of the chip makes the work of the chip breakers easy.
When a strict chip control is desired, some sort of chip breaker has to be
employed.

The following types of chip breakers are commonly used:


a) Groove type
b) Step type
c) Secondary Rake type
d) Clamp type

Roughing vs. Finishing Cuts
Higher the rake angle, better is the cutting and
less is the cutting force. Several roughing cuts
are usually taken on a part, followed by one or
two finishing cuts
Roughing - removes large amounts of
material from starting workpart
Some material remains for finish cutting
High feeds and depths, low speeds
Finishing - completes part geometry
Final dimensions, tolerances, and finish
Low feeds and depths, high cutting speeds
Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical
24
Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur
Cutting Temperature
Approximately 98% of the energy in machining is
converted into heat
This can cause temperatures to be very high at
the tool-chip
The remaining energy (about 2%) is retained as
elastic energy in the chip

Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical


25
Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur
Cutting Temperature is Important

High cutting temperature:


1. Reduces tool life
2. Produces hot chips that pose safety hazards to
the machine operator
3. Can cause inaccuracies in part dimensions due
to thermal expansion of work material

Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical


26
Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur
Cutting Temperature
Experimental methods can be used to measure
temperatures in machining
Most frequently used technique is the
tool-chip thermocouple
Using this method, Ken Trigger determined the
speed-temperature relationship to be of the form:
T = K vm
where T = measured tool-chip interface
temperature, and v = cutting speed

the thrust or feed force (in the direction of feed, Fr is the radial force that tends to push
the tool away from the workpiece being machined. Compare this figure with Fig. 20.11
for a two-dimensional cutting operation.

Tool Wear & Tool Life

Modes of Tool Failure


Fracture failure
Cutting force becomes excessive and/or dynamic,
leading to brittle fracture
Temperature failure
Cutting temperature is too high for the tool
material
Gradual wear
Gradual wearing of the cutting tool

Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur 44


Tool Wear & Tool Life
Mechanisms of Tool Wear:
Abrasion: If one of the surfaces contains very hard
particles, then these during the process of sliding may dislodge
material from other surfaces by Ploughing action.
Adhesion: When bodies of similar nature are in contact,
the asperities tend to get welded. Sliding causes fracture of
these welded junctions and material is lost from both the
surfaces.
Diffusion: Atoms in a metallic crystal lattice always move
from higher concentration to that of low concentration. The
process is known as Diffusion.

45
Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur
Tool Wear & Tool Life
The progressive wear of a cutting
tool first occurs on the flank face in
the form of a wear land due to
rubbing against the newly machined
surface known as FLANK WEAR.

As a result of chip flowing over the


rake face, wear also takes place on
the rake surface in the form of a
crater known as CRATER WEAR.

Flank wear is measured by means of a measuring microscope.


Crater wear can be evaluated by means of a surface analyser.
Crater wear is formed at higher speeds, when diffusion has been
considered to play a major role.

46
Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur
Tool Wear & Tool Life

A tool that no longer performs the desired function (and not unable to cut at
all) is said to be reached the end of its usual life or failed. At this point the
tool is resharpened and used again.

47
Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur
Tool Wear & Tool Life

Taylor Tool Life Equation:

where v = cutting speed; T = tool life; and n and C are parameters that depend
on feed, depth of cut, work material, tooling material, and the tool life
criterion used
n is the slope of the plot
C is the intercept on the speed axis
48
Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur
Tool Wear & Tool Life
The variables, Speed, Feed and Depth of cut affect the
material removal rate and hence have a direct effect on
the production cost.

T can also be expresses as:

Where, , indicates that the cutting speed has


greatest effect on tool life followed by feed and then depth
of cut.
49
Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur
Tool Wear & Tool Life
Variables Affecting Tool Life:
The Cutting Conditions
The Tool Geometry
The Tool Material
The Work Material
The Cutting Fluid

50
Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur
Tool Wear & Tool Life
Effect of Tool Geometry: Rake angle
Increasing the Rake Angle reduces the cutting force and the
cutting temperature resulting in increased tool life.
However, for large rake angle, tool edge is weakened
resulting in increased wear due to chipping of the cutting
edge.
Increased wear is also due to larger temperature since the
tool becomes thinner and the area available for heat
conduction reduces.
These conditions give an optimum rake angle which gives
the maximum tool life.
Higher is the strength of workpiece material, lower is the
value of optimum rake angle.
51
Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur
Tool Wear & Tool Life
Effect of Tool Geometry: Flank angle
Increasing the Flank Angle reduces rubbing between tool
and the workpiece and hence improves the tool life.
However, too high a value of flank angle weakens the tool
and reduces its life.
Optimum value of flank angles is also affected by the feed
rates. Higher is the feed rate, lower is the optimum value.
The flank angle, therefore, should be low if higher feed
values are to be used.

52
Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur
Tool Wear & Tool Life
Tool and Work Material
Tool material must be at least 35% to 58% harder than the
work material.
High strain rate of deformation and elevated temperature of
the work material further complicate the situation.
With the increase in machining speed, the temperature of
both the tool and the work material increases, resulting in a
lowered effective hardness of the tool. Unfortunately, the
expected fall in the hardness in the work material is
neutralized by the higher rate of deformation.
In general, harder the work material, higher will be the tool
wear rate and lower will be the tool life.

53
Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical Engineering Department, IIT Kanpur
Tool Materials

Tool failure modes identify the important


properties that a tool material should possess:
Toughness - to avoid fracture failure
Hot hardness - ability to retain hardness at
high temperatures

Cutting Fluid
Cutting fluids are primarily used for decreasing the
cutting temperature and the chip-tool interface friction.
They also serve to keep the workpiece cool to avoid
thermal expansion, provide a rust-proof layer on the
finished surface and remove chips from the machining
area.
Cutting fluids should have high specific heat and good
thermal conductivity, a chemical constituent to form weak
junctions, should have a low viscosity and small
molecular size, non corrosive and inexpensive.
At a very high speed, coolant is ineffective.

geometry has been established conventional machining
Grinding is most important abrasive processes
Material removal process in which abrasive particles are
contained in a bonded grinding wheel that operates at
very high surface speeds
Other abrasive processes: honing, lapping, super
finishing, polishing, and buffing

Abrasive Machining Processes
The Grinding Wheel consists of abrasive particles and
bonding material
Abrasive particles accomplish cutting
Bonding material holds particles in place and establishes
shape and structure of wheel

Abrasive material
Commonly used abrasives in abrasive machining
are:
Conventional Abrasives:
Aluminum Oxide (A): Used for grinding Steels, Fe-Alloys,
Bronze and other high-strength materials.
Silicon Carbide (C): Used for grinding Cast Iron, Brass, Al,
Hard alloys and Carbides.
Superabrasives: Used for very hard materials like Glass,
Carbides and Ceramics.
Cubic boron nitride (CBN)
Diamond (D) Prof. S.K. Choudhury, Mechanical

Grain Size
Grain Size is expressed in terms of a SIEVE NUMBER ,
Sn which corresponds to the number of openings per
linear inch.
The diameter of an abrasive grain, inch
The larger the size of the grains, the more will be material
removal, but surface finish will be worse.
Sieve No. Type of Grain
10-24 Coarse
30-60 Medium
70-180 Fine
220-600 Very Fine

Grade
Indicates the strength of the binding material.
When the work material is hard, the grains
wear out easily and the sharpness of the
cutting edges is quickly lost. This is known as
WHEEL GLAZING.
To avoid this problem, a soft wheel should be
used.

Structure
If the voids are too small for the chips, the chips
stay in the wheels blocking the voids. This is
known as LOADING of the wheel.
0..16 Dense (Closed) to Open structures
Recommendations:
For Hard work material Closed Structure
Open structure means voids are relatively large and
grains are relatively small - recommended when
clearance for chips must be provided
Dense structure means voids are relatively small and
grains are larger - recommended to obtain better surface
finish and dimensional control

Bonding Material
Vitrified Bond (V) Strong and Rigid, commonly
used.
Resinoid (B) Provides shock absorption and
elasticity. They are Strong enough.
Silicate (S) Provides softness (grains dislodge
quickly)
Shellac (E) Used for making thin but strong
wheels possessing some elasticity.
Rubber Bonds (R) For making flexible wheels
Metallic Bond (M) For diamond wheels only.
