A grinding operation takes place with a 295 mm wheel with a spindle speed of 4730 RPM. The workpi...
a) A workpiece (φ-75 mm, 1 275 mm) is machined using turning at a feed rate of 0.25 mm/rev. At a cutting speed- 3.5 m/s, the turning tool is ineffective after machining 3 parts, and at a cutting speed = 2.5 m/s, the turning tool is effective for producing 20 parts. Calculate the Cutting Speed that will allow 30 parts to be machined between tool changes [20 marks] b) An aluminium alloy workpiece (tensile strength - 325 N/mm2 and yield...
Question 1 A turning operation is carried out on aluminum. Based on the specific energy values in Table 20.2, determine material removal rate and cutting power in the operation under the following sets of cutting conditions: (a) Cutting speed 5.6 m/s, feed 0.25 mm/rev, and depth of cut 2.0 mm; and (b) cutting speed- 1.3 m/s, feed 0.75 mm/rev, and depth 4.0 mm. Question 2 Consider a turning operation performed on steel whose hardness 225 HB at a cutting speed...
