Problem 1: Assignment - Cutting Forces

This document contains 4 problems related to cutting forces in mechanical engineering: 1. Calculate the percentage increase in chip thickness when friction is doubled in orthogonal cutting with a 25° rake angle and 0.2 friction coefficient. 2. Determine the change in friction angle from a dry cutting operation (-0.087 rake angle) to one using a cutting fluid, given the measured cutting and thrust forces. 3. Calculate the shear angle, friction coefficient, shear stress, chip velocity, and shear velocity given data from orthogonal cutting experiments. 4. Determine the power drawn by a lathe with 90% efficiency during a turning operation on stainless steel with given material properties and machining parameters.

Assignment – Cutting Forces

Problem 1

Assume that, in orthogonal cutting, the rake angle is 25° and the coefficient of friction is 0.2.
Use the cutting ratio equation to determine the percentage increase in chip thickness when
the friction is doubled.

Problem 2

In a dry cutting operation using a –0.087 rad rake angle, the measured forces were Fc
=1330 N and Ft = 740 N. When a cutting fluid was used, these forces were Fc = 1200 N and
Ft = 710 N. What is the change in the friction angle resulting from the use of a cutting fluid?

Problem 3

The following data are available from orthogonal cutting experiments. In both cases, chip
thickness before the cut to=0.13 mm, width of cut w = 2.5 mm, rake angle = −5° , and
cutting speed Vc = 2 m/s.

Determine the shear angle , friction coefficient μ, shear stress , chip velocity Vch, and shear
velocity Vs.

Problem 4

A turning operation is performed on stainless steel with hardness 200 HB (with specific
energy of 2.8 J/mm3), cutting speed = 200 m/min, feed = 0.25 mm/rev, and depth of cut =
7.5 mm. How much power will the lathe draw in performing this operation if its mechanical
efficiency is 90%?
