Machining and Cutting tools Flashcards
Cutting conditions
.
Roughing
Quickly removes large amounts of material
Finishing
Final dimensions and tolerances
Discontinuous Chips
Low Cutting speeds Large feed and depth of cut High tool chip friction Brittle Material Coating on cutting tip
Continuous chips with BUE
Removal of swarf is difficult
Ductile Materials
BUE builds up and breaks off periodically which can affect the cutting surface
No coating on cutting tip
Serrated Chip
High cutting speeds
Fracture Failure
Unpredictable, Cutting force too high, to prevent do intermittent cutting
Gradual wear
Preferred method of failure as it is predictable
Cutting tool materials are
High toughness
Wear resistance
Hot hardness
Cutting fluids
Wash away swarf
Reduce temperature and friction
Facing
Tool fed radially inwardly smooth surface finish,
Chamerfing
Putting an angle on a cylinder
Parting off
Narrow tool is fed to cut off at the end
Threading and Tapping
Tapping is putting a thread on an inner surface and threading is on the outer surface
Reaming
Extremely accurate dimension finish for a hole.
