Material Removal Processes


Introduction

It is shaping operations, it remove material from a


starting workpart so the remaining part has the
desired geometry
Divided into three main groups:
1) Machining material removal by a sharp
cutting tool, e.g., turning, milling, drilling
2) Abrasive processes material removal by hard,
abrasive particles, e.g., grinding
3) Non-traditional processes - various energy
forms other than sharp cutting tool to remove
material

BDA 3052 Manufacturing


Technology

Why Machining is Important?

Variety of work materials can be machined


Most frequently used to cut metals
Variety of part shapes and special geometric
features possible, such as:
Screw threads
Accurate round holes
Very straight edges and surfaces
Good dimensional accuracy and surface finish

BDA 3052 Manufacturing


Technology

Disadvantages with Machining

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

BDA 3052 Manufacturing


Technology

Machining in Manufacturing Sequence

Generally performed after other manufacturing


processes, such as casting, forging, and bar
drawing
Other processes create the general shape of
the starting workpart
Machining provides the final shape,
dimensions, finish, and special geometric
details that other processes cannot create

The tool is perfectly sharp and no contact along


clearance face.
The shear surface is a plane extending upward from the
cutting edge.
The cutting edge is a straight line, extending
perpendicular to the direction of motion and generates
a plane surface as the work moves past it.
The chip does not flow to either side.
The depth of cut is constant.
Width of the tool is greater than the work piece.
The work moves relative to the tool with uniform
velocity.
A continuous chip is produced with no built up edge.

normal cutting edge. The chip flows side ways in a long
curl.

Difference between orthogonal and


oblique cutting
Orthogonal cutting

Oblique cutting

The cutting edge of the tool is


perpendicular to the direction of the tool
travel.

The cutting edge is inclined at angle with


the normal direction of the tool travel.

The cutting edge clears the width of the


work piece on either ends.

The cutting edge may or may not clear the


width of the work piece.

The chip flows over the tool. The chip coils


in tight.

The chip flows on the tool face making an


angle with the normal cutting edge. The
chip flows side ways in a long curl

Only two components of the cutting force


acting on the tool.

Three components of the forces acting on


the tool.

Maximum chip thickness occurs at the


middle.

Maximum chip thickness may not occur at


middle.

For the given feed rate and DOC, the force


which act or shears the metal acts on a
smaller area and therefore, the heat
developed per unit area due to friction
along the tool work interface is less and
the tool life is less.

It acts on larger area and thus tool life is


more.

Cutting action involves shear deformation of

work material to form a chip

Effect of Higher Shear Plane Angle

Higher shear plane angle means smaller shear


plane which means lower shear force, cutting
forces, power, and temperature

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

Machining
A material removal process in which a sharp cutting
tool is used to mechanically cut away material so
that the desired part geometry remains
Most common application: to shape metal parts
Most versatile of all manufacturing processes in
its capability to produce a diversity of part
geometries and geometric features with high
precision and accuracy
Casting can also produce a variety of shapes,
but it lacks the precision and accuracy of
machining

Classification of Machined Parts

Rotational - cylindrical or disk-like shape


Nonrotational (also called prismatic) block-like or plate-like

Machined parts are classified as: (a) rotational, or (b) nonrotational,


shown here by block and flat parts.

Machining Operations and Part


Geometry
Each machining operation produces a
characteristic part geometry due to two
factors:
1. Relative motions between tool and workpart

Generating part geometry determined


by feed trajectory of cutting tool
2. Shape of the cutting tool

Forming part geometry is created by


the shape of the cutting tool

Generating Shape

contour turning, (d) plain milling, (e) profile milling.

Forming to Create Shape

Forming to create shape: (a) form turning, (b) drilling, and (c)
broaching.

Forming and Generating

Combination of forming and generating to create shape: (a) thread


cutting on a lathe, and (b) slot milling.

radially inward

Contour Turning

Instead of feeding tool


parallel to axis of
rotation, tool follows a
contour that is other
than straight, thus
creating a contoured
shape

Chamfering

Cutting edge cuts an angle on the corner of


the cylinder, forming a "chamfer"

Cutoff

Tool is fed radially into rotating work at some


location to cut off end of part

Cutoff

Tool is fed radially into rotating work at some


location to cut off end of part

Threading

Pointed form tool is fed linearly across surface


of rotating workpart parallel to axis of rotation
at a large feed rate, thus creating threads

Cutting Conditions in Turning - 1

The rotational speed in turning related to the desired cutting


speed at the surface of the cylindrical workpiece by the
equation:

N
D

N = rotational speed, rev/min; = cutting speed, m/min,


And Do = original diameter of the part, m.

Cutting Conditions in Turning - 2

The change in diameter is determined by the depth of cut,


d:

Do Df = 2d
Do = original diameter, mm; Df = final diameter, mm
d = depth of cut

Cutting Conditions in Turning - 3

The feed in turning is generally expressed in mm/rev. This


feed can be converted to linear travel rate in mm/min by the
formula:

fr = Nf
fr = feed rate, mm/min; f = feed mm/rev

Cutting Conditions in Turning - 4

The time to machine from one end of a cylindrical workpart


to the other is given by:

Tm = L/fr
Tm = time of actual machining, minutes; and L = length of
the cylindrical workpart, mm

Cutting Conditions in Turning - 5

The volumetric rate of material removal rate can be most


conveniently determined by the following equation:

MRR = vfd
Where v=DavgN
and Davg=(Do-Df)/2

MRR = material removal rate, mm3/min, f = feed, mm

Milling
Machining operation in which work is fed past a
rotating tool with multiple cutting edges
Axis of tool rotation is perpendicular to feed
Creates a planar surface
Other geometries possible either by cutter
path or shape
Other factors and terms:
Interrupted cutting operation
Cutting tool called a milling cutter, cutting
edges called "teeth"
Machine tool called a milling machine

Peripheral Milling vs. Face Milling

Peripheral milling
Cutter axis parallel to surface being machined
Cutting edges on outside periphery of cutter
Face milling
Cutter axis perpendicular to surface being
milled
Cutting edges on both the end and outside
periphery of the cutter

METHODS OF MILLING-1
1) Up milling is also referred to as conventional
milling. The direction of the cutter rotation
opposes the feed motion. For example, if the
cutter rotates clockwise , the workpiece is fed
to the right in up milling.

METHODS OF MILLING-2
2) Down milling is also referred to as climb
milling. The direction of cutter rotation is
same as the feed motion. For example, if the
cutter rotates counterclockwise , the
workpiece is fed to the right in down milling

Slab Milling

Basic form of peripheral milling in which the


cutter width extends beyond the workpiece
on both sides

Slotting

Width of cutter is less than workpiece width,


creating a slot in the work

Conventional Face Milling


Cutter overhangs work
on both sides

Profile Milling
Form of end milling in
which the outside
periphery of a flat
part is cut

Pocket Milling

shallow
pockets into
flat parts

Surface Contouring

Ball-nose cutter
fed back and forth
across work along
a curvilinear path
at close intervals
to create a three
dimensional
surface form

End Milling

Cutter diameter is
less than work
width, so a slot is
cut into part

wear) by the machine operator
Fingernail test across cutting edge
Changes in sound emitted from operation
Chips become ribbon-like, stringy, and
difficult to dispose of
Degradation of surface finish
Increased power
Workpiece count
Cumulative cutting time

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
Wear resistance - hardness is the most
important property to resist abrasive wear

TOOL LIFE PROBLEM

Two tests were conducted to determine the relationship between


cutting speed and tool life. In the first test, a cutting speed of 350
m/min results a tool life of 45 minutes. In the second test, a cutting
speed, a cutting speed of 250 m/min which results a tool life 75
minutes.
Using Taylors equation, calculate the following:
i) Constant n and C and
(ii) If the life of tool to be extended to 55 minutes, what will be
cutting speed tool?

TOOL LIFE PROBLEM

A carbide tool with mild steel workpiece was


found to give life of 2 hours while cutting at
50 m/min. Compute the tool life if the same
tool is used at a speed of 25% higher than
previous one. Also determine the value of
cutting speed if the tool is required to have
tool life of 3 hours. Assume n= 0.27
