Metal Cutting

3

Metal cutting or Machining operation is to produce a desired shape, size and finish of a component by removing excess material in the form of chips.

Chips may constitute more than 50% of initial work piece.

Machining processes are performed on metal cutting machines, using various types of cutting tools

Metal cutting process in general should be carried out at high speeds and feeds with least cutting effort at minimum cost.

Factors affecting metal cutting

1. Properties of Work material

2. Properties & geometry of cutting tool

3. Interaction between tool and work

Mechanics of Metal CuttingA cutting tool exerts compressive force on the workpiece which stresses the work material beyond the yield point and therefore metal deform plastically and shears off.

Plastic flow takes place in a localized region called the shear plane.

Sheared material begins to flow along the cutting tool face in the form of chips.

Flowing chips cause tool wear.

Applied compressive force which leads to formation of chips is called cutting force.

Heat produced during shearing action raises the temperature of the workpeice, cutting tool and chips.

Temperature rise in cutting tool softens and causes loss of keenness in cutting edge.

Cutting force, heat and abrasive wear are important features in metal cutting.

Cutting tools performs the main machining operation.

It is a body having teeth or cutting edges on it.

They comprise of single point cutting tool or multipoint cutting tools.

Types of Cutting Tools

Page 8: By S. SAMPATH KUMAR Assistant Professor Mechanical Engineering Department SRM Nagar, Kattankulathur – 603 203 ME 1008 Manufacturing Technology 1 Unit –

Types of Metal Cutting Process

Orthogonal cutting is also known as two dimensional metal cutting in which the cutting edge is normal to the work piece. (angle = 90deg)

Oblique cutting is also known as three dimensional cutting in which the cutting action is inclined with the job by a certain angle called the inclination angle. (angle ≠ 90deg)

Page 9: By S. SAMPATH KUMAR Assistant Professor Mechanical Engineering Department SRM Nagar, Kattankulathur – 603 203 ME 1008 Manufacturing Technology 1 Unit –

Single point cutting tool : This type of tool has a effective cutting edge and

removes excess material from the work piece along the cutting edge.

These tools may be left-handed or right-handed.

Again single point cutting tools classified as

A. solid type

B. tipped tool.

C. Brazed tools

are generally known as tool bits and are used in tool holders.

The tipped type of tool is made from a good shank steel on which is mounted a tip

of cutting tool material.

Tip may be made of high speed steel or cemented carbide.

Different types of carbide tips are generally used on tipped tool.

Page 10: By S. SAMPATH KUMAR Assistant Professor Mechanical Engineering Department SRM Nagar, Kattankulathur – 603 203 ME 1008 Manufacturing Technology 1 Unit –

10

Geometry comprises mainly of nose, rake face of the tool, flank, heel and shank etc.

The nose is shaped as conical with different angles.

Page 11: By S. SAMPATH KUMAR Assistant Professor Mechanical Engineering Department SRM Nagar, Kattankulathur – 603 203 ME 1008 Manufacturing Technology 1 Unit –

11

Types of ChipsChips are separated from the workpiece to impart the required size and shape.

The chips that are formed during metal cutting operations can be classified into four types:

1. Continuous chips

2. Continuous chips with built-up edge

3. Discontinuous or segmental chips.

4. Non homogenous chips

1. Continuous chips

Chip is produced when there is low friction between the chip and tool face

This chip has the shape of long string or curls into a tight roll

Chip is produced when ductile materials such as Al, Cu, M.S, and wrought Iron are machined.

Formation of very lengthy chip is hazardous to the machining process and the machine operators.

Page 12: By S. SAMPATH KUMAR Assistant Professor Mechanical Engineering Department SRM Nagar, Kattankulathur – 603 203 ME 1008 Manufacturing Technology 1 Unit –

12

It may wrap up on the cutting tool, work piece and interrupt in the cutting operation.

It becomes necessary to deform or break long continuous chips into small pieces.

It is done by using chip breakers and this can be an integral part of the tool design or a separate device.

2. Continuous chips with built-up edge

When high friction exists between chip and tool, the chip material welds itself to the tool face.

Welded material increases friction further which in turn leads to the building up a layer upon layer of chip material.

Build up edge grows and breaks down when it becomes unstable.

Chips with build up edge result in higher power consumption, poor surface finish and large tool wear

Page 13: By S. SAMPATH KUMAR Assistant Professor Mechanical Engineering Department SRM Nagar, Kattankulathur – 603 203 ME 1008 Manufacturing Technology 1 Unit –

13

3. Discontinuous or segmental chips

Chip is produced in the form of small pieces. These types of chips are obtained while machining brittle material like cast iron, brass and bronze at very low speeds and high feeds.

For brittle materials it is associated with fair surface finish, lower power consumption and reasonable tool life.

For ductile materials it is associated with poor surface finish excessive tool wear.

4. Non-homogeneous chips

It will be in the form of notches and formed due to non-uniform strain in materalduring chip formation.

Non homogenous chips are developed during machining highly hard alloys like titanium.

14

Chip Control and Chip BreakersDuring machining high tensile strength materials chips has to be properly controlled.

Carbide tip tools will be used for high speeds which leads to high temperature and produce continuous chips with blue color.

If the above mentioned chips are not broken means it will adversely effect the machining in following ways,

•Spoiling cutting edge

•Raising temperature

•Poor surface finish

•Hazardous to machine operator

Two ways are employed to overcome all the above drawbacks.

First one is Proper selection of cutting conditions and second one is chip breakers are used to break the chips.

Page 15: By S. SAMPATH KUMAR Assistant Professor Mechanical Engineering Department SRM Nagar, Kattankulathur – 603 203 ME 1008 Manufacturing Technology 1 Unit –

15

Proper selection of cutting conditionsSince the cutting speed influences to the great extend the productivity of machining and surface finish, working at low speeds may not be desirable.

If the cutting speed is to be kept high, changing the feed and depth of cut is a reasonable solution for chip control.

Chip breakerThere are two types of chip breakers1.ΠExternal type, an inclined obstruction clamped to the tool face2. Integral type, a groove ground into the tool face or bulges formed onto the tool face

clamped

Feed

Back rake angle (αb)It is the angle between the face of the tool and a line parallel with base of the toolmeasured in a perpendicular plane through the side cutting edge.

This angle helps in removing the chips away from the work piece.

Page 20: By S. SAMPATH KUMAR Assistant Professor Mechanical Engineering Department SRM Nagar, Kattankulathur – 603 203 ME 1008 Manufacturing Technology 1 Unit –

20

Side rake angle (αs)

It is the angle by which the face of tool is inclined side ways.

This angle of tool determines the thickness of the tool behind the cutting edge.

It is provided on tool to provide clearance between work piece and tool so as to prevent the rubbing of work- piece with end flank of tool.

End relief angleIt is defined as the angle between the portion of the end flank immediately belowthe cutting edge and a line perpendicular to the base of the tool, measured at right angles to the flank.

It is the angle that allows the tool to cut without rubbing on the work- piece.

Side relief angleIt is the angle that prevents the interference as the tool enters the material.

It is the angle between the portion of the side flank immediately below the side edge and a line perpendicular to the base of the tool measured at right angles to the side.

End cutting edge angleIt is the angle between the end cutting edge and a line perpendicular to the shank of the tool.

It provides clearance between tool cutting edge and work piece.

Side cutting edge angleIt is the angle between straight cutting edge on the side of tool and the side of the shank.

It is also known as lead angle.

It is responsible for turning the chip away from the finished surface.

Properties of cutting tool materials

1. Red hardness or Hot Hardness: It is the ability of a material to retain its hardness at high temperature

2. Wear resistance: It enables the cutting tool to retain its shape and cutting efficiency

3. Toughness: It relates to the ability of a material to resist shock or impact loads associated with interrupted cuts

Classification tool materials

1. Carbon-Tool Steels:

0.6-1.5% carbon + little amount of Mn, Si, Cr, V to increase hardness.

Low carbon varieties possess good toughness & shock resistance.

High carbon varieties possess good abrasion resistance

2. High Speed Steels (HSS):

High carbon+ little amount Tungsten, Molybdenum, Cr, V & cobalt to increase

hardness, toughness and wear résistance.

These are carbides of W, Titanium and tantalum with small amount of cobalt

produced by means of powder metallurgy route.

Two types i.e, Straight Tungsten Carbide Cobalt Grade and Alloyed Tungsten

Carbide Grade

Page 25: By S. SAMPATH KUMAR Assistant Professor Mechanical Engineering Department SRM Nagar, Kattankulathur – 603 203 ME 1008 Manufacturing Technology 1 Unit –

25

Straight Tungsten Carbide Cobalt Grade : Cast iron, non ferrous alloys, plastics, wood, glass etc.

Alloyed Tungsten Carbide Grade: All grades of steel at 3 to 4 times more speeds than HSS

5. Ceramic Tools: Aluminium Oxide, Silicon Carbide, Boron Carbide, Titanium Carbide, Titanium

Boride

Tool Life

Properly designed cutting tool is expected to perform the metal cutting operation in an effective an smooth manner

If a tool is not giving satisfactory performance it is an indicative of tool failure.

Following are the adverse effects observed during operation;

During operation cutting tool may fail due to following;

Extremely poor surface finish on the workpiece

Higher consumption of power

Work dimensions are not produced as specified

Overheating of cutting tool

Appearance of burnishing band on the work surface

Thermal cracking and softening

Mechanical Chipping

Gradual wear

1.Thermal Cracking and SofteningDuring cutting operation lot of heat will be generated due to this cutting tool tip and area closer to cutting edge will become hot.

Cutting tool material will be harder up to certain limit (temperature & pressure), if it crosses the limit it starts deforming plastically at tip and adjacent to the cutting edge under the action of cutting pressure and high temperature.

Tool looses its cutting ability and it is said to have failed due to softening.

Main factors responsible for this condition are;

High cutting speed

High feed rate

More depth of cut

Small nose radius

Choice of wrong tool material

Tool life is defined as the time interval for which tool works satisfactorily between two successive grinding or re-sharpening of the tool.

Page 28: By S. SAMPATH KUMAR Assistant Professor Mechanical Engineering Department SRM Nagar, Kattankulathur – 603 203 ME 1008 Manufacturing Technology 1 Unit –

28

Working temperatures for common tool materials are;

Carbon tool steels 200oC - 250oCHigh speed steel 560oC - 600oCCemented Carbides 800oC - 1000oC

Tool material is subjected to local expansion and contraction due to severe temperature gradient.

Gives rise to thermal stresses further leads to thermal cracks.

2. Mechanical Chipping

Mechanical chipping of nose an cutting edge of the tool are commonly observed causes for tool failure.

Reasons for failure are High cutting pressure, Mechanical impact, Excessive wear, too high vibrations and weak tip an cutting edge, etc.

This type of failure is pronounced in carbide tipped and diamond tools due to high brittleness of tool material.

Chipped Tip

3. Gradual wearWhen a tool is in use for some time it is found to have lost some weight or mass implying that it has lost some material from it due to wear.

Wear locations:

Crater wear location

Flank wear location

Crater wear

Due to pressure of the hot chip sliding

up the face of the tool, crater or a

depression is formed on the face of tool.

(Ductile materials)

By diffusion shape of crater formed

corresponds to the shape of underside

of the chip

Crater wear

Cutting Fluids

Essential in metal-cutting operations to reduce heat and friction

Centuries ago, water used on grindstones

100 years ago, tallow used (did not cool)

Lard oils came later but turned rancid

Early 20th century saw soap added to water

Soluble oils came in 1936

Chemical cutting fluids introduced in 1944
