16. 21.4 Temperatures in Cutting  As in all metalworking processes where plastic deformation is involved, the energy dissipated in cutting is converted into heat which in turn, raises the temperature in the cutting zone.

17. Major Effects  Excessive temperature lowers the strength, hardness, stiffness, and wear resistance of the cutting tool; tools also may soften and undergo plastic deformation; thus tool shape is altered.

18. Major Effects  Increased heat causes uneven dimensional changes in the part being machined, making it difficult to control its dimensional accuracy and tolerances.

19. Major Effects  Excessive temperature rise can induce thermal damage and metallurgical changes in the machined surface, adversely affecting its properties.

20. Temperature Distribution  The maximum temperature is about halfway up the tool-chip interface.

21. Techniques for Measuring Temperature  Thermocouples embedded in the tool.  Thermal emf (electormotive force) at the tool- chip interface, which acts as a hot junction between two different materials.  Infrared radiation from the cutting zone may be monitored with a radiation pyrometer. Traditional Infrared Thermometer

22. 21.5 Tool Life: Wear and Failure  Tool wear is a major consideration in all machining operations. Tool wear adversely affects tool life, quality of the machined surface and its dimensional accuracy, and cutting operations

31. Chapter 21 Sections 6 & 7 21.6 Surface Finish and Integrity 21.7 Machinability

32. 21.6 Surface Finish and Integrity  Surface Finish describes the geometric features of a surface.  Surface integrity pertains to the material properties.

33. Building exterior suffers from unsightly damage of mold infestation due to high humidity. The strong oxidation effect of photocatalyst effectively removes mold and protects the surface integrity

34. Effects of tool-tip profile  Built-up edge has the greatest influence on surface finish. (a)(b) Figure 20.21 Surfaces produced on steel by cutting, as observed with a scanning electron microscope: (a) turned surface and (b) surface produced by shaping. Source: J. T. Black and S. Ramalingam.

35. Effect of tool-tip profile  Ceramic and diamond tools generally produce better surface finish than other tools because of their much lower tendency to form a BUE.

36. Dull Tools  Large radius along its edge.  If tip radius of the tool is large in relation to the depth of cut, the cool simply will rub over the machined surface.  May cause surface damage, such as tearing and cracking

37. Vibration and chatter  Vibration and chatter will affect the dimension of the workpiece surface finish adversely.  Vibrating tool periodically changes the dimensions of the cut.  Excessive chatter also can cause chipping and premature failure of the more brittle cutting tools.

38. Factors influencing surface integrity  Temperatures generated during processing and possible metallurgical transformations.  Surface residual stresses.  Severe plastic deformation and strain hardening of the machined surfaces, tearing, and cracking.

39. Finish Machining and Rough Machining  In finish machining, it is important to consider the surface finish to be produced  In rough machining, the main purpose is to remove a large amount of material at a high rate. Surface finish is not a primary consideration.

40. Finish and Rough Machining

41. 21.7 Machinability  Machinability can be defined in terms of four factors:  1. Surface finish and surface integrity of the machined part.  2. Tool life.  3. Force and power required.  4. The level of difficulty in chip control.

42. Machinability  Good Machinability indicates good surface finish and integrity, long tool life, and low force, and low power requirement.  Tool life and surface roughness are considered to be the most important factors.

43. Machinability Ratings (index)  Standard material: AISI 1112 steel, with a rating of 100.  This means; for a tool life of 60min, this steel should be machined at a cutting speed of 100ft/min (30m/min).  Some examples; 3140 steel at 55; free- cutting brass at 300; 2011 wrought aluminum at 200.

45. Machinability of ferrous metals  Machinability of steels, alloy steels, stainless steels, and cast iron.  21.7.1 Pg: 638.  Effects of various elements in steels.  Presence of aluminum and silicon in steel is harmful.  Carbon and manganese have various effects depending on their composition.

47. Machinability of miscellaneous materials  Thermoplastics  Thermosetting plastics  Polymer-matrix composites  Metal-matrix and ceramic matrix composites  Graphite and Ceramics  Wood  21.7.3 Pg: 641

48. Thermally assisted machining (hot machining)  Metals and alloys that are difficult to machine at room temperature can be machined more easily at elevated temperatures.  A source of heat (such as a torch, induced coil, electric current, laser-beam, electron- beam, and plasma arc) is focused onto an area just ahead of the cutting tool.

49. Hot machining  General advantages;  Reduced cutting force  Increased tool life  Higher material-removal rates  Reduced tendency for vibration and chatter.

72. 22.11: Tool Costs and... Typical costs of a typical.5 inch insert: Cubic Boron Nitride: – –$60-90 Diamond-coated carb.: – –$50-60 Ceramics – –$8-12 Coated carbides: – –$6-10 Uncoated carbides: – –$2-10 Diamond-tipped insert: – –$90-100 Tooling costs account for approximately 2 to 4 % of manufacturing costs.

74. 22.12: Cutting Fluids  Purpose of cutting fluids  Reduce friction and wear  Cool cutting zone  Flush chips away from the cutting zone  Protect the machined surface from environmental corrosion  These factors improve tool life and help make a better more efficient cut. Image of cutting fluid and its container

75. 22.12: Cutting Fluids  Lubricants reduce friction  Coolants effectively reduce high temperatures of tools/ work pieces  At times, using a cutting fluid may cause the material to become “curly”, which concentrates the heat closer to the tip. This is detrimental because it decreases the tool’s life.  It is these defects that have turned machinists to “near- dry machining” (22.12).

76. 22.12: Cutting Fluids  Types of cutting fluids:  Oils: mineral, animal, vegetable, compounded, and synthetic oils. Only used in operations where temp rise is insignificant.  Emulsions: mixture of oil and water and additives. Good for operations where temperature rise is significant.  Semisynthetics: chemical emulsions containing little mineral oil diluted in water with additives that reduce size of particles.  Synthetics: chemicals with additives, diluted in water, without oil. Image of a “synthetic” cutting fluid.

77. 22.12 Cutting Fluids  Methods of Application  Flooding: most common; rates of up to 225 L/min for multi- tooth cutters; poor visibility; 100- 2000 Psi.  Mist: most effective w/ water based fluids; requires venting but is popular because of good visibility; similar to using an aerolsol can; 10- 80 Psi.  High-pressure systems: use a powerful jet/nozzle to target the hot area; 800- 5000 Psi; can be used as a chip-breaker to clear debris away.  Through the cutting tool system: passages are made in the tool/ tool handle that allow for a direct route for the coolant to the hot area.

78. 22.12 Cutting Fluids  Special Considerations for use of cutting fluids  Machines need to be washed after fluids have been used.  Used cutting fluids may undergo chemical changes. Settling skimming centrifuging and filtering help to avoid any bad effects they may cause.  Cutting fluids containing:  Sulfur should not be used on Nickel based alloys.  Chlorine should not be used with Titanium

79. 22.12: Near-dry and Dry Machining  Introduced in 1990’s to minimize use of metalworking fluids.  In these processes, chips are removed from the cutting zone by application of pressurized air.  Dry machining:  Used for turning, milling, and gear cutting on steels, steel alloys, and cast irons.  Near-dry cutting:  The application of a mist of a mixture of water and cutting fluid (vegetable oil) inserted through the spindle of the machine tool, 85 psi.

80. 22.12: Near-dry and Dry Machining  Cryogenic Machining:  Cryogenic gases such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide are used as a coolant. They are shot through a small nozzle at temperatures around -200 C; good for tool life, good for the environment. Image of a liquid nitrogen cooling system.
