First Midterm Flashcards
Dial calipers subdivisions
100ths on main scale and .001 on dial gauge
3 uses of a dial caliper
Linear measurements
Outside and inside diameters
Depth
Charc of Micrometer
Thimble has 25 subdivisions and the least count is .0001
Least count
Smallest measurements that your tool will measure to
Roughness average
Pertains to surface finish
Higher the number the rougher the finish
Feeler gauges
Used to set reference planes
Screw ring gauge
Used to gauge thread
.50-13 UNC-2A
A- external thread B-internal thread 1-loose threads 2-middle class 3- tightest threads
Thread plug gauge
Only for internal threads
Ring gauge
Used for shaft or post(go/no-go)
Profilometer
Gauges surface roughness
Gauge blocks
Standard measurements to set a micrometer
Surface plates
Datum to measure from
Telescoping gauges
Spring loaded and used for holes
Spring caliper
Rough measurement of diameter
CMM
Uses coordinates to measure 3-d of any part
Engine lathe
Not a production lathe. Primarily for single piece or short runs
Turret lathe
Used for duplicate parts
Lathe size
By largest working diameter and max distance btw centers
Headstock of lathe
Clamped on left hand end of bed
Provides drive of workpiece
Carriage of lathe
Used move cutting tool along lathe bed Consists of Saddle-mounts cross-slide and apron Cross-slide Apron
Cross-slide
Provide movement of cutting tool
Compound slide is also attached
Apron
Moves carriage along lathe bed
Tail stock
Provide support for right hand end of workpiece
Shear pins and slip clutches
Prevents damage to feed mechanism from overload or sudden torque
Cutting conditions for turning
Cutting speed (v). Feed (f). Depth (d)
Spindle speed
Rpm = (CS x 4)/ d
Feed rate for turning
Rough feed - .0115(in/rev)
Finishing feed - .002- .004 (in/rev)
Key machining operation
Turning. Drilling. Milling
Milling
Rotating multiple cutting edge tool is moved across work to cut a plane
Three basic types of chips
Continuous chips
Continuous chips with built up edge (BUE)
Discontinuous chip
Continuous chip
Ductile work material
High cutting speed
Small feed and depth
Continuous with BUE
Low to med speed
Tool chip friction causes chips to break off and adhere to rake face
Single point cutting tool
Point usually rounded form nose radius
Turning uses this
Multi point cutting tool
Motion relative to work achieved by rotating
Drilling and milling use this
Feed rate is measured by workpiece fed into cutting tool
Back rake angle
Allows chips to flow
Positive rake angle
Better surface finish
When side rake angle is below cutting edge
Negative rake angle
Side rake angle is above cutting edge used for roughing and harder materials
Ductile
Stretches without breaking
Malibility
Compression
Better compression equals higher precision
Material properties of cutting tools
Cutting and forming
Principle materials of cutting tools
Non metallic
Ferrous
Non ferrous
Basic property for every cutting tool
Wear resistance
Cubic boron nitride
Next to diamond in hardness
