 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) Nontraditional processes - various energy
forms other than sharp cutting tool to remove
material

 Why Machining is Important

¡ Variety of work materials can be machined

l Most frequently used to cut metals

¡ Variety of part shapes and special geometric

features possible, such as:
l Screw threads

l Accurate round holes

l Very straight edges and surfaces

¡ Good dimensional accuracy and surface finish

BDA 3052 Manufacturing

Technology
 Disadvantages with Machining

¡ Wasteful of material
l Chips generated in machining are wasted
material, at least in the unit operation
¡ Time consuming
l 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
l Other processes create the general shape of
the starting workpart
l Machining provides the final shape,
dimensions, finish, and special geometric
details that other processes cannot create

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

 Three Modes of Tool Failure

1. Fracture failure
l Cutting force becomes excessive and/or
dynamic, leading to brittle fracture
2. Temperature failure
l Cutting temperature is too high for the tool
material
3. Gradual wear
l Gradual wearing of the cutting tool
 Preferred Mode: Gradual Wear

¡ Fracture and temperature failures are premature

failures
¡ Gradual wear is preferred because it leads to the
longest possible use of the tool
¡ Gradual wear occurs at two locations on a tool:
l Crater wear – occurs on top rake face

l Flank wear – occurs on flank (side of tool)

 Tool Wear

locations and types of wear that occur.

 Taylor Tool Life Equation

Relationship is credited to F. W. Taylor

vT n = C

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 at one minute
tool life
 Tool Life Criteria in Production

1. Complete failure of cutting edge

2. Visual inspection of flank wear (or crater
wear) by the machine operator
3. Fingernail test across cutting edge
4. Changes in sound emitted from operation
5. Chips become ribbon-like, stringy, and
difficult to dispose of
6. Degradation of surface finish
7. Increased power
8. Workpiece count
9. Cumulative cutting time
 Tool Materials

¡ Tool failure modes identify the important

properties that a tool material should possess:
l Toughness - to avoid fracture failure

l Hot hardness - ability to retain hardness at

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