orthogonal 1-pt cutting

Geometry of the cutting tool
22
Modeling Mechanism of cutting
Old model crack propagation
Current model shear
23
Tool wear observations and models
High stresses, High friction, High temp (1000?C)
? tool damage Adhesion wear fragments of
the workpiece get welded to the tool surface at
high temperatures eventually, they break
off, tearing small parts of the tool with them.
Abrasion hard particles, microscopic
variations on the bottom surface of the chips
rub against the tool surface Diffusion wear
at high temperatures, atoms from tool diffuse
across to the chip the rate of diffusion
increases exponentially with temperature
this reduces the fracture strength of the
crystals.
24
Tool wear, Tool failure, Tool life criteria

• Catastrophic failure (e.g. tool is broken
  completely)
• VB 0.3 mm (uniform wear in Zone B), or VBmax
  0.6 mm (non-uniform flank wear)
• KT 0.06 0.3f, (where f feed in
  mm/revolution).

25
Built-up edge (BUE)
Deposition, work hardening of a thin layer of the
workpiece material on the surface of the tool.
BUE ? poor surface finish Likelihood of BUE
decreases with (i) decrease in depth of
cut, (ii) increase in rake angle, (iii) use of
proper cutting fluid during machining.

for optimality

and/or minimum cost Are these objectives
compatible (satisfied simultaneously) ?

Observation A given machine, tool, workpiece
combination has finite max MRR

Maximum production rate
Model objective Find minimum volume stock for a
given part -- Near-net shape stocks (use
casting, forging, ) -- Minimum enclosing
volumes of 3D shapes
Models - minimum enclosing cylinder for a
rotational part - minimum enclosing rectangular
box for a milled part Solving -- requires
some knowledge of computational geometry

motion (kinematic joints) 2. Joints that
disallow any relative motion (rigid joints)
Uses of Joints 1. To restrict some degrees of
freedom of motion 2. If complex part shape is
impossible/expensive to manufacture 3. To allow
assembled product be disassembled for
maintenance. 4. Transporting a disassembled
product is sometimes easier/feasible
