Material Removal Processes

A family of shaping operations, the common feature of which is removal of material from a starting workpart so the remaining part has the desired geometry. Machining material removal by a sharp cutting tool, e.g., turning, milling, drilling. Abrasive processes material removal by hard, abrasive particles, e.g., grinding.

Material Removal

Nontraditional processes various energy forms other than sharp cutting tool to remove material, e.g. electrochemical and thermal energy processes.

Reasons to Machine
Variety of work materials can be machined. Most frequently used to cut metals. Variety of part shapes and special geometric features possible, Screw threads. Accurate round holes. Very straight edges and surfaces. Improve dimensional accuracy of: Castings, forming, or shaping processes. Produce features that cannot be produced by forming and shaping processes. External and internal profiles. Sharp corners. Flatness. Remove distortion & discoloration from heat-treatment. Reduce manufacturing costs (usually small quantities). Apply special surface characteristics or textures.
Manufacturing Processes Prof Simin Nasseri

Machining Limitations
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 More expensive for mass production.
Consumes more energy. Can have adverse effects on surface quality & properties.

Classification of Machined Parts

Rotational - cylindrical or disk-like shape Nonrotational (also called prismatic) - block-like or plate-like

Figure 22.1 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

Or combination of the two.

Generating Shape
Part geometry determined by feed trajectory of cutting tool.

Forming to Create Shape

Part geometry is created by the shape of the cutting tool.

Forming and Generating

Part geometry determined by feed trajectory of cutting tool and is also created by the shape of the cutting tool.

Turning
Single point cutting tool removes material from a rotating workpiece to form a cylindrical shape

Drilling
Used to create a round hole, usually by means of a rotating tool with two cutting edges

Milling
Rotating multiple-cutting-edge tool is moved across work to cut a plane or straight surface Two forms: peripheral milling and face milling

Figure 21.3 (c) peripheral milling (Axis of the tool is parallel to the surface), and (d) face milling (axis of the tool is perpendicular to the surface).
Manufacturing Processes Prof Simin Nasseri

Broaching
This process is performed using a multiple tooth cutting tool. The tool is moved linearly relative to the work.

Broaching operation. The tool is called a broach. The machine is called the broaching machine.

Reaming
Used to slightly enlarge a hole, provide better tolerance on diameter, and improve surface finish.

Boring
Internal turning operation which is performed on the inside diameter of an existing hole (Turning is
performed on the outside diameter of an existing cylinder)

Counterboring
Provides a stepped hole, in which a larger diameter follows smaller diameter partially into the hole.

Tapping
Used to provide internal screw threads on an existing hole

Sawing
Cuts narrow slit in work by a tool consisting of a series of narrowly spaced teeth. Typical functions: 1. Separate a workpart into two pieces. 2. Cut off unwanted portions of part.

Sawing Tool is called a saw blade

Shaping & Planing

Shaping:
Tool has a linear speed motion. Work has occasional feed motion.

Planing:
Work has a linear speed motion. Tool has occasional feed motion.

Shaper
Shaping:
The shaping machine is used to machine flat metal surfaces especially where a large amount of metal has to be removed.
Other machines such as milling machines are much more expensive and are more suited to removing smaller amounts of metal, very accurately.

As the disc rotates, the top of the machine moves forwards and backwards (reciprocating motion), pushing a cutting tool. The cutting tool removes the metal from work which is carefully bolted down.

Shaping and Planing

A straight, flat surface is created in both operations Interrupted cutting Subjects tool to impact loading when entering work Low cutting speeds due to start-and-stop motion Typical tooling: single point high speed steel tools
