Unit-1 Basics of Metal Cutting
• Wasteful of material
• Chips generated in machining are wasted material, at least in the unit operation
• Time consuming
• A machining operation generally takes more time to shape a given part than
alternative shaping processes, such as casting, powder metallurgy, or forming

r
tc
Where,
r = chip thickness ratio;
to = thickness of the chip prior to chip formation; and
tc = chip thickness after separation
• Chip thickness after cut is always greater than before, so chip ratio is always less than
1.0
Determining Shear Plane Angle

Where,
r = chip ratio, and
= rake angle
Figure 6 - Shear strain during chip formation:
(a) chip formation depicted as a series of parallel plates sliding relative to each other,
(b) one of the plates isolated to show shear strain, and
(c) shear strain triangle used to derive strain equation
Shear Strain
= tan( - ) + cot
where,
= shear strain,
= shear plane angle, and
= rake angle of cutting tool
Figure 7 - More realistic view of chip formation, showing shear zone rather than shear plane.
Also shown is the secondary shear zone resulting from tool-chip friction
Four Basic Types of Chip in Machining
2. Continuous chip
4. Serrated Chip
Segmental Chip
• Ductile materials
• Low-to-medium cutting speeds
• Tool-chip friction causes portions of
chip to adhere to rake face
• BUE formation is cyclical; it forms,
then breaks off
Serrated Chip
In simple words The numerical code that describes all the key angles of a
given cutting tool is called tool signature
1. Tool-in-Hand System
2. Machine Reference System - ASA system
3. Tool Reference Systems
• Orthogonal Rake System - ORS
• Normal Rake System - NRS
4. Work Reference System – WRS
Tool-in-Hand System
There is no quantitative information, i.e., value of the angles.
IMPORTANT TERMS OF SINGLE POINT CUTTING TOOL
Machine Reference System - ASA system
Symbol
• The axes Xm, Ym and Zm are in the direction of longitudinal feed, cross feed and cutting
velocity (vector) respectively.
The main geometrical features and angles of single point
tools in ASA systems
Definition
• Rake angles
• γx = side (axial rake: angle of inclination of the rake surface from the reference plane (πR) and measured on
Machine Ref. Plane, πX.
• γy = back rake: angle of inclination of the rake surface from the reference plane and measured on Machine
Transverse plane, πY.
• Clearance angles:
• αx = side relief angle: angle of inclination of the principal flank from the machined surface and measured on
πX plane.
• αy = End relief angle: same as αx but measured on πY plane.
• Cutting angles:
• φe = side cutting edge angle: angle between the principal cutting edge (its projection on πR) and πY and
measured on πR
• φe = end cutting edge angle: angle between the end cutting edge (its projection on πR) from πX and measured
on πR
• Nose radius, r (in inch)
• r = nose radius : curvature of the tool tip. It provides strengthening of the tool nose and better surface finish.
Symbol
• πC = cutting plane; plane perpendicular to πR and taken along the principal cutting edge
• Ground on the end and side faces of a tool to prevent it from rubbing on the
work piece.
• To enable only the cutting edge to touch the work piece.
Side Relief angle:
• Angle ground directly below the cutting edge on the flank of the tool
End Relief angle:
• Angle ground from the nose of the tool
Rake angle:
Ground on a tool to provide a smooth flow of the chip over the tool so as to move it
away from the work piece
Back Rake angle
• Ground on the face of the tool
• Influences the angle at which chip leaves the nose of the tool
• Generally 8 - 100
Side Rake angle
• Ground on the tool face away from the cutting edge
• Influences the angle at which the chip leaves the work piece
• A lathe tool has 140 side rake.
Cutting edge angle
• Ground on a tool so that it can be mounted in the correct position for various machining
operations.
Side Cutting edge angle
• Allows flank of the tool to approach the work piece first
• Spreads the material over a greater distance on the cutting edge, thereby thinning out the chip.
• Approximately 150
End Cutting edge angle
• Allows the cutting tool to machine close to the work piece during turning operations
• Usually 20 - 300
Nose Radius:
Functions:
• Back-Allows the tool to shear the work and form the chip. It can be positive or negative
• Positive = reduced cutting forces, limited deflection of work, tool holder, and
machine
• The side and back rake angle combine to from the “true rake angle”
Positive Rake Angle
• Larger positive rake angles
• Reduce compression and less chance of a discontinuous chip
• Reduce forces
• Reduce friction
• Result = A thinner, less deformed, and cooler chip.
Negative Rake Angle
• Forces on chip
• Cutting Force
• Thrust force
• Forces in metal cutting
• Merchant force diagram
• Power consumption
• Energy required in metal cutting

Shear stress = shear strength of work material during cutting
Cutting Force and Thrust Force
• Equations can be derived to relate the forces that cannot be measured to the forces that
can be measured:
F = Fc sin + Ft cos
N = Fc cos - Ft sin
Fs = Fc cos - Ft sin
Fn = Fc sin + Ft cos
• Based on these calculated force, shear stress and coefficient of friction can be determined
The Merchant Equation
• Of all the possible angles at which shear deformation could occur, the work material
will select a shear plane angle which minimizes energy, given by
• Derived by Eugene Merchant 45
2 2
• Based on orthogonal cutting, but validity extends to 3-D machining
Figure - Effect of shear plane angle : (a) higher with a resulting lower shear plane area; (b)
smaller with a corresponding larger shear plane area. Note that the rake angle is larger in (a),
which tends to increase shear angle according to the Merchant equation
