 Drilling
11

 Used to create a round

hole, usually by means
of a rotating tool (drill bit)
with two cutting edges

1. Single-Point Tools
 One dominant cutting edge
 Point is usually rounded to form a nose radius
 Turning uses single point tools
2. Multiple Cutting Edge Tools
 More than one cutting edge
 Motion relative to work achieved by rotating
 Drilling and milling use rotating multiple cutting
edge tools

 Cutting Conditions in Machining
15

 Three dimensions of a machining process

 Cutting speed v – primary motion
 Feed f – secondary motion
 Depth of cut d – penetration of tool below original
work surface

 Roughing vs. Finishing Cuts
18

 In production, several roughing cuts are usually taken

on a part, followed by one or two finishing cuts
 Roughing - removes large amounts of material
from starting work part
 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

angle to tool feed.
 Here only two force components are  Here three force components are
considered i.e. cutting force and thrust considered i.e. cutting force, radial force

 Shear force acts on smaller area.  Shear force acts on larger area.
 Mechanics of Cutting

 Major independent variables in the cutting process:

1. Tool material and coatings
2. Tool shape, surface finish, and sharpness
3. Workpiece material and condition
4. Cutting speed, feed, and depth of cut
5. Cutting fluids
6. Characteristics of the machine tool
7. Work holding and fixturing
 Mechanics of Cutting
23

 Dependent variables in cutting (influenced by changes

in independent variables):
1. Type of chip produced (studied since early 1940’s)
2. Force and energy dissipated during cutting
3. Temperature rise in the workpiece, the tool and the chip
4. Tool wear and failure
5. Surface finish and surface integrity of the workpiece
 Mechanics of Cutting
24

 Merchant model is known as orthogonal cutting

 It is two dimensional and the forces involved are
perpendicular to each other
 Cutting tool has a rake angle () and a relief or
clearance angle
 Shearing takes place in a shear zone at shear angle

Shear Strain
 The shear strain (i.e. deformation relative to original
size) that the material undergoes can be expressed as
AB AO OB
      cot   tan    
OC OC OC
 (AB, AO and OB as shown in Slide 22)
 Large shear strains (≥5) are associated with low shear
angles or with low or negative rake angles
 Based on the assumption that the shear angle adjusts
itself to minimize the cutting force,
  β = friction angle, related to μ :
  45   μ = tanβ  coefficient of –dynamic – friction
2 2 μ usually: 0.5 – 2
 Mechanics of Cutting
31

 Chip encounters friction as it moves up the rake face

 Large variations in contact pressure and temperature
are encountered at the tool-chip interface (rake face)
 This causes big changes in μ and it is thus called
“apparent mean coefficient of friction”
 Equation (second set in previous slide) thus indicates:
 As rake angle ↓ or friction at rake face ↑
shear angle ↓ and chip becomes thicker
 Thicker chip more energy lost because shear strain is
higher
 Because work done during cutting is converted into heat
temperature rise is higher

 Forces in Metal Cutting
37

 Forces considered in orthogonal cutting include

 Cutting, friction (tool face), and shear forces
 Cutting force,Fc acts in the direction of the cutting
speed V, and supplies the energy required for cutting
 Ratio of Fc to cross-sectional area being cut (i.e. product of
width and depth of cut, t0) is called: specific cutting force
 Thrust force,Ft acts in a direction normal to the cutting
force
 These two forces produces the resultant force, R
 see force circle (last slide)
 On tool face, resultant force can be resolved into:
 Friction force, F along the tool-chip interface
 Normal force, N to  to friction force
 Forces in Metal Cutting
38

 It can also be shown that ( is friction angle)

F  R sin  , N  R cos 

 Resultant force, R is balanced by an equal and

opposite force along the shear plane
 It is resolved into shear force, Fs and normal force, Fn
 Thus, Fs  Fc cos   Ft sin 
Fn  Fc sin   Ft cos 

 Forces in Metal Cutting
39

Thrust Force
 The toolholder, work-holding devices, and machine tool
must be stiff to support thrust force with minimal
deflections
 If Ft is too high tool will be pushed away from workpiece
 this will reduce depth of cut and dimensional accuracy
 The effect of rake angle and friction angle on the direction
of thrust force is
Ft  R sin     or Ft  Fc tan    
 Magnitude of the cutting force, Fc is always positive as the
force that supplies the work is required in cutting
 However, Ft can be +ve or –ve; i.e. Ft can be upward with
a) high rake angle, b) low tool-chip friction, or c) both

Types of Chips Produced in Metal Cutting
53

All Chips
 Chip has two surfaces:
 Surface in contact with rake face
 Shiny and polished
 Caused by rubbing of the chip on the tool surface
 Outer surface from the original surface of the workpiece
 Jagged, rough appearance
 Caused by shearing mechanism
 Note, this surface remains exposed to the environment, and
does not come into contact with any other surface

Chip Curl
 Chips will develop a curvature (chip curl) as they leave
the workpiece surface
 Factors affecting the chip curl conditions are:
1. Distribution of stresses in the primary and secondary
shear zones.
2. Thermal effects.
3. Work-hardening characteristics of the workpiece
material
4. Geometry of the cutting tool
5. Cutting fluids
 Note, as cutting depth ↓, chip radius ↓ (i.e. curlier)

Temperatures in Cutting and Cutting Tool Technology

 Outline
63

1. Temperatures in Cutting
2. Tool Life: Wear and Failure
 Temperatures in Cutting
64

 Temperature rise (due to heat lost in cutting raising

temp. in cutting zone) - its major adverse effects:
1. Lowers the strength, hardness, stiffness and wear
resistance of the cutting tool (i.e. alters tool shape)
2. Causes uneven dimensional changes (machined parts)
3. Thermal damage and metallurgical changes in the
machined surface ( properties adversely affected)
 Sources of heat in machining:
a. Work done in shearing (primary shear zone)
b. Energy lost due to friction (tool-chip interface)
c. Heat generated due to tool rubbing on machined surface
(especially dull or worn tools)
 Temperatures in Cutting
65

 Expression: mean temperature in orthogonal cutting:

0.000665Y f Vt0
Tmean  3
c K
where,
 Tmean: mean temperature in [K]
 Yf: flow stress in [MPa]
 ρc: volumetric specific heat in [kJ/m3 K]
 K: thermal diffusivity (ratio of thermal conductivity to
volumetric specific heat) in [m2/s]
 Equation shows that T:
 increases with material strength, cutting speed (V), depth of cut (t0);
 decreases with ρc and K
 Temperatures in Cutting
66

 Mean temperature in turning on a lathe is given by

Tmean  V f a b

where,
 V : cutting speed
 f : feed of the tool
 Approximate values of the exponents a,b:
 Carbide tools: a = 0.2, b = 0.125
 High-speed steel tools: a = 0.5, b = 0.375
 Also note how this relation shows the increase in
temperature with increased cutting speed and feed

 Temperatures in Cutting
69

Temperature Distribution
 The temperature increases with cutting speed
 Chips can become red hot and create a safety hazard
for the operator
 The chip carries away most (90%) of the heat
generated during machining (see right)
 Rest carried by tool and workpiece
 Thus high machining speed (V ) ⇒
1. More energy lost in chips
2. Machining time decreases
(i.e. favorable machining economics)
 Cutting Tool Technology

1. Tool Life
2. Tool Materials
3. Tool Geometry
4. Cutting Fluids
 Tool Life: Wear and Failure
71

 Tool wear is gradual process; created due to:

1. High localized stresses at the tip of the tool
2. High temperatures (especially along rake face)
3. Sliding of the chip along the rake face
4. Sliding of the tool along the newly cut workpiece
surface
 The rate of tool wear depends on
 tool and workpiece materials
 tool geometry
 process parameters
 cutting fluids
 characteristics of the machine tool

 Three Modes of Tool Failure
72

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

 Preferred Mode: Gradual Wear
73

 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:
 Crater wear – occurs on top rake face
 Flank wear – occurs on flank (side of tool)

Tool Materials topic (slides 82 to

92) is self study
 High Speed Steel (HSS)
85

 Highly alloyed tool steel capable of maintaining

hardness at elevated temperatures better than high
carbon and low alloy steels
 Especially suited to applications involving
complicated tool shapes: drills, taps, milling cutters,
and broaches
 Two basic types of HSS (AISI)
1. Tungsten-type, designated T- grades
2. Molybdenum-type, designated M-grades

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 High Speed Steel Composition
86

 Typical alloying ingredients:

 Tungsten and/or Molybdenum
 Chromium and Vanadium
 Carbon, of course
 Cobalt in some grades
 Typical composition (Grade T1):
 18% W, 4% Cr, 1% V, and 0.9% C

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Cemented Carbides
87

 Class of hard tool material based on tungsten carbide

(WC) using powder metallurgy techniques with cobalt
(Co) as the binder
 Two basic types:
1. Non-steel cutting grades - only WC-Co
2. Steel cutting grades - TiC and TaC added to
WC-Co

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Cemented Carbides – General Properties
88

 High compressive strength but low-to-moderate

tensile strength
 High hardness (90 to 95 HRA)
 Good hot hardness
 Good wear resistance
 High thermal conductivity
 High elastic modulus - 600 x 103 MPa (90 x 106 lb/in2)
 Toughness lower than high speed steel

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Non-steel Cutting Carbide Grades
89

 Used for nonferrous metals and gray cast iron

 Properties determined by grain size and cobalt
content
 As grain size increases, hardness and hot
hardness decrease, but toughness increases
 As cobalt content increases, toughness improves
at the expense of hardness and wear resistance

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Steel Cutting Carbide Grades
90

 Used for low carbon, stainless, and other alloy

steels
 TiC and/or TaC are substituted for some of the WC
 Composition increases crater wear resistance for
steel cutting
 But adversely affects flank wear resistance for
non-steel cutting applications

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Cermets
91

 Combinations of TiC, TiN, and titanium carbonitride

(TiCN), with nickel and/or molybdenum as binders.
 Some chemistries are more complex
 Applications: high speed finishing and semi-finishing
of steels, stainless steels, and cast irons
 Higher speeds and lower feeds than steel-cutting
cemented carbide grades
 Better finish achieved, often eliminating need for
grinding

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Coated Carbides
92

 Cemented carbide insert coated with one or more

layers of TiC, TiN, and/or Al2O3 or other materials
 Coating thickness = 2.5 - 13 m (0.0001 - 0.0005 in)
 Coating applied by chemical vapor deposition or
physical vapor deposition
 Applications: cast irons and steels in turning and
milling operations
 Best used at high speeds where dynamic force
and thermal shock are minimal

 Ceramics
94

 Primarily fine-grained Al2O3, pressed and sintered at

high pressures and temperatures into insert form with
no binder
 Applications: high speed turning of cast iron and
steel
 Not recommended for heavy interrupted cuts (e.g.
rough milling) due to low toughness
 Al2O3 also widely used as an abrasive in grinding

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Synthetic Diamonds
95

 Sintered polycrystalline diamond (SPD) - fabricated

by sintering very fine-grained diamond crystals under
high temperatures and pressures into desired shape
with little or no binder
 Usually applied as coating (0.5 mm thick) on WC-
Co insert
 Applications: high speed machining of nonferrous
metals and abrasive nonmetals such as fiberglass
reinforced polymer, graphite, and wood
 Not for steel cutting

 Most common cutting tools for hole-making
 Usually made of high speed steel

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Twist Drill Operation
102

 Rotation and feeding of drill bit result in relative

motion between cutting edges and work material to
form the chips
 Cutting speed varies along cutting edges as a
function of distance from axis of rotation
 Relative velocity at drill point is zero, so no cutting
takes place
 Instead, a large thrust force is required to drive
the drill forward into the hole

 Turning is performed at various:

1. Rotational speeds, N, of the workpiece clamped in a
spindle
2. Depths of cut, d
3. Feeds, f, depending on the workpiece materials,
cutting tool materials, surface finish, dimensional
accuracy and characteristics of the machine tool

 Forces Acting on a Cutting Tool in Turning
123

Forces in Turning
The 3 principal forces acting on a cutting tool are important in the
design of machine tools, deflection of tools and workpieces for
precision-machining operations
 Cutting force (Fc) acts downward on the tool tip and deflect
the tool downward and the workpiece upward
 Thrust force (or feed force) (Ft) acts in the longitudinal direction
 Radial force (Fr ) is the radial force that
tends to push the tool away from
the workpiece being machined.

ECONOMIC AND PRODUCT DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

IN MACHINING
 Outline
167

1. Machinability
2. Tolerances and Surface Finish
3. Machining Economics
4. Product Design Considerations in Machining
 Machinability
168

 Relative ease with which a material (usually a metal)

can be machined using appropriate tooling and
cutting conditions
 Depends not only on work material
 Type of machining operation, tooling, and
cutting conditions are also important factors

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Machinability Criteria in Production
169

 Tool life – longer tool life for the given work material
means better machinability
 Forces and power – lower forces and power mean
better machinability
 Surface finish – better finish means better
machinability
 Ease of chip disposal – easier chip disposal means
better machinability

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Machinability Tests
170

 Tool life (most common test)

 Tool wear
 Cutting force
 Power required in the operation
 Cutting temperature
 Material removal rate under standard test conditions

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Mechanical Properties and Machinability
171

 Hardness
 High hardness means abrasive wear increases so
tool life is reduced
 Strength
 High strength means higher cutting forces, specific
energy, and cutting temperature
 Ductility
 High ductility means tearing of metal to form chip,
causing chip disposal problems and poor finish

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Surface Finish and Integrity
172

 Surface finish (Roughness):

 this influences the dimensional accuracy of machined parts, as
well as properties and performance in service
 this refers to geometric features of a surface
 Surface integrity
 this refers to material properties
 e.g. fatigue life, corrosion resistance
 this is greatly affected by the nature of the surface produced
 Tolerances and Surface Finish
173

 Tolerances
 Machining provides high accuracy relative to most
other shape-making processes
 Closer tolerances usually mean higher costs
 Surface roughness in machining is determined by:
1. Geometric factors of the operation
2. Work material factors
3. Vibration and machine tool factors

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Geometric Factors
174

 Machining parameters that determine surface

geometry:
 Type of machining operation, e.g., milling vs.
turning
 Tool geometry, especially nose radius
 Feed
 Surface geometry that results from only these factors
is the "ideal" or "theoretical" surface roughness

 Work Material Factors
177

 Built-up edge effects

 Damage to surface caused by chip
 Tearing of surface when machining ductile materials
 Cracks in surface when machining brittle materials
 Friction between tool flank and new work surface

 Influence of BUE on Surface Finish
178

 The built-up edge has the greatest influence on surface

finish (due to large effect on tool-tip surface); see below
 Damage shown below is due to BUE
 It appears as “scuffing” (i.e. scratching) marks
 In normal machining: marks would appear as straight grooves
 Note: diamond, ceramic tools have best surface finish (no BUE)

surface roughness by
the ratio of actual to
theoretical roughness for

 Vibration and Machine Tool Factors
180

 Related to machine tool, tooling, and setup:

 Chatter (vibration) in machine tool or cutting tool
 Deflections of fixtures
 Backlash in feed mechanism
 If chatter can be eliminated, then surface roughness
is determined by geometric and work material
factors

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 How To Avoid Chatter
181

 Add stiffness and/or damping to setup

 Operate at speeds that avoid cyclical forces with
frequencies close to natural frequency of machine
tool system
 Reduce feeds and depths to reduce forces
 Change cutter design to reduce forces
 Use a cutting fluid

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Machining Economics
182

 For each machining operation, decisions must be

made about machine tool, cutting tool(s), and cutting
conditions
 Cutting conditions: depth of cut, feed, speed, and
cutting fluid
 These decisions must give due consideration to
work part machinability, part geometry, surface
finish, and so forth

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Selecting Depth of Cut
183

 Depth of cut is often predetermined by workpiece

geometry and operation sequence
 In roughing, depth is made as large as possible to
maximize material removal rate, subject to
limitations of horsepower, machine tool and setup
rigidity, and strength of cutting tool
 In finishing, depth is set to achieve final part
dimensions and surface finish

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Determining Feed
184

 Select feed first, speed second

 Determining feed rate depends on:
 Tooling – harder tool materials require lower feeds
 Roughing or finishing?
 In roughing, limits on feed are imposed by
forces, setup rigidity, and maybe horsepower
 In finishing, select feed to achieve desired
finish

 Optimizing Cutting Speed
185

 Select cutting speed to achieve a balance between

high metal removal rate and suitably long tool life
 Mathematical formulas are available to determine
optimal speed
 Two alternative objectives in these formulas:
 Maximum production rate
 Minimum unit cost

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Maximum Production Rate
186

 Maximizing production rate is equivalent to

minimizing cutting time per unit
 In turning, total production cycle time for one part
consists of:
1. Part handling time per part = Th
2. Machining time per part = Tm
3. Tool change time per part = Tt/np, where np =
number of pieces cut in one tool life

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Maximum Production Rate
187

 Total time per unit product for operation:

Tc = Th + Tm + Tt/np
 Cycle time Tc is a function of cutting speed

 Cycle Time vs. Cutting Speed
188

 Minimizing Cost per Unit
189

 In turning, total production cycle cost for one part

consists of:
1. Cost of part handling time = CoTh , where Co =
cost rate for operator and machine
2. Cost of machining time = CoTm
3. Cost of tool change time = CoTt/np
4. Tooling cost = Ct/np , where Ct = cost per cutting
edge

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Minimizing Unit Cost
190

 Total cost per unit product for operation:

Cc = CoTh + CoTm + CoTt/np + Ct/np
 Again, unit cost is a function of cutting speed, just as
Tc is a function of v

 Comments on Machining Economics
192

 As C and n increase in Taylor tool life equation,

optimum cutting speed increases
 Cemented carbides and ceramic tools should be
used at speeds significantly higher than for HSS
 vmax is always greater than vmin
 Reason: Ct/np term in unit cost equation pushes
optimum speed to left in the plot of Cc vs. v

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Comments on Machining Economics
193

 As tool change time Tt and/or tooling cost Ct

increase, cutting speed should be reduced
 Tools should not be changed too often if either
tool cost or tool change time is high
 Disposable inserts have an advantage over
regrindable tools because tool change time is
lower

 Product Design Guidelines
194

 Design parts that need no machining

 Use net shape processes such as precision
casting, closed die forging, or plastic molding
 If not possible, then minimize amount of machining
required
 Use near net shape processes such as impression
die forging

 Product Design Guidelines
195

 Reasons why machining may be required:

 Close tolerances
 Good surface finish
 Special geometric features:
 Threads
 Accurate holes
 Accurate cylindrical sections
 Flat and/or straight surfaces

 Product Design Guidelines
196

 Tolerances should be specified to satisfy functional

requirements, but process capabilities should also be
considered
 Very close tolerances add cost but may not add
value to part
 As tolerances become tighter, costs generally
increase due to additional processing, fixturing,
inspection, sortation, rework, and scrap

 Surface finish should be specified to meet functional

and/or aesthetic requirements
 However, better surface finish generally
increases processing cost by requiring additional
operations such as grinding or lapping

 Product Design Guidelines
198

 Machined features such as sharp corners, edges,

and points should be avoided
 They are difficult to machine
 Sharp internal corners require pointed cutting tools
that tend to break during machining
 Sharp corners and edges tend to create burrs and
are dangerous to handle

©2016 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. M P Groover, Fundamentals of Modern Manufacturing 6/e
 Product Design Guidelines
199

 Machined parts should be designed so they can

be produced from standard stock sizes
 Example: rotational parts with outside
diameters equal to standard bar stock diameter

 Select materials with good machinability

 As a rough guide, allowable cutting speed and
production rate correlates with machinability rating
of a material
 Thus, parts made of materials with low
machinability take longer and cost more to
produce
