Machining Technologies Flashcards
What is the definition of Manufacturing?
The full cycle of activities from research and development, through design, production, logistics and services, to end life management, within an economic and social context
Short: The transformation of raw materials into finished products
What are four basic manufacturing processes?
Primary shaping
Secondary shaping
Joining&assembly
Surface treating
What are some example of primary shaping?
Casting
Molding
PM methods
What are some examples of secondary shaping?
Forming
Machining
What are some examples for joining & assembly?
Welding
Adhesives
Fasteners
What are some examples for surface treating?
Heat treatment
Surface treatment
What are some examples of conventional machining?
TURNING and related operations
DRILLING and related operations
MILLING
Grinding and other abrasive processes
What are some examples of non-conventional machining processes?
Electrochemical machining
Thermal energy processes
Chemical machining
What are the advantages and disadvantages for machining?
\+ Variety of materials used \+ Variety of parts can be made \+ Specific dimension easier to cut - Wasteful of material - Time consuming
What are the inputs of machining?
Machine tools
Cutting tools
Workpiece
What are the outputs of machining?
Productivity/economy Product accuracy Surface texture Surface integrity Environmental impacts
What is turning?
Single point cutting tool removes materials from a rotating workpiece form a cylindrical shape
What is drilling?
Used to create a round hole using rotating drill bit, usually with two cutting edges
What is milling?
Rotating multiple-cutting-edge tool is moved across work to cut a plane or straight surface
What are the following symbols used for: v φ α t0 tc
v=cutting speed φ=Shear angle α=Rake angle t0=undeformed chip thickness tc=chip thickness
What is the equation for undeformed chips?
t0=Ls*sin(φ)
What is the equation for chip thickness?
tc=Ls*cos(φ-a)
What is the shear angle equation?
tanφ=(rcos(a))/(1-rsin(a))
