Turning processes Flashcards
1
Q
Be able to produce and label a basic diagram of the turning process:
A
Refer to Turning lecture
2
Q
Be able to define the turning operation, different types of turning and common turning operations:
A
Turning generates cylindrical and rounded forms with a single point tool. In most cases, the tool is stationary with the workpiece rotating.
Common turning operations:
- Longitudinal turning
- Facing
- Outside /Inside Diameter Turning
- Angles, profiles
3
Q
Explain how to calculate the Material removal rate for turning.
A
Multiply:
Cutting Speed x Cutting feed x Depth of cut x 1000 / 60
MMR = (mm^3/min)
4
Q
Explain how to calculate the Power consumption for turning.
A
Multiply:
(Cutting speed x Depth of cut x Cutting feed x specific cutting force)
/ (60 x 10^3)
Pc = Net power (kW)
