Metal cutting or machining is the process of producing a work piece by removing unwanted material from
a block of metal, in the form of chips. The process of removing metal can be done by using two types of
cutting tools.
1.c Single point cutting tools
a)c Ground type
b)c Tipped type
2.c Multipoint cutting tools
a)c Drill bit
b)c Milling cutter
c)c Grinding wheel etc.
0c Single point cutting tools will have only one effective cutting edge to remove the excess material
effective cutting edge to remove excess material from work..
Ex:- Drilling, Milling, Broaching etc.
0c MRR obtained from Multipoint cutting tool is more than that from single point cutting tool.
0c The life of multipoint cutting tool is more than single point cutting tool.
0c Single point cutting tools are fed axially at a uniform feed per revolution. But multipoint cutting tools
are fed perpendicularly to the cutter axis of rotation.
!"
1.c Properties of work material such as hardness, toughness, abrasion qualities, tendency to weld etc.
2.c The properties and geometry of the cutting tool - The tool material should be hard, strong, tough and
wear resistant.
3.c The interaction between the tool and the work during metal cutting.
! #!$"!
Cutting using single point cutting tool can be affected by six angles of tool and the nose radius of
tool. The arrangement of all these in a particular order is called single point cutting tool nomenclature or
designation. The two systems are widely used is this context.
a)c ASA system (American standards association system)
b)c Orthogonal Rake system (ORS).
# % In this system the angles defined are measured with respect to three mutually
perpendicular planes. According to ASA system, the single point cutting tool can be designated as
In this system angles defined are measured with respect to plane containing principal or side
cutting edge and the plane normal to it.
According to ORS the single point cutting tool can be designated as:
!!&$ "!
a)c 3' ' ! Its purpose is to guide the direction of the chip flow. The softer the material of
work piece, the greater should be the positive rake angle.
0c Excessive positive rake weakens the cutting edge and increases tool life slightly.
b)c
('!The amount that a chip is bent depends upon this angle. With increase in side rake
angle, the amount of chip has to bend decreases and hence the required to part and bend the chip
decreases.
0c Larger side rake angle produces smooth surface finish.
c)c ( ! ! This angle prevents the cutting tool from rubbing against the job. If this angle is
very large the cutting edge of the tool will be unsupported and will break off where as if this angle is
very small, the tool will rub the job and poor finish will be obtained on the job.
d)c
( ! ! This angle permits the tool to be fed side ways into the job, so that it can cut
without rubbing. If this angle is very large the cutting edge of the tool will break because of
insufficient support, whereas if this is very small the tool cannot be fed into job, it will rub against the
job and will get overheated and became blunt and finish obtained is rough.
e)c ("(! It acts as a relief angle that it allows only small section of the end cutting
edge to contact the machined surface and prevents chatter and vibration.
f)c
("(!It avoids formation of built up edge, controls the direction of chip flow and
distributes the cutting force and heat produced over larger cutting edge.
g)c (" Nose radius is favorable to long tool life and good surface finish. Too large a nose
radius will induce chatter. Nose radius also reduces high heat concentration at sharp point.
((!!
0c Back rake may be positive, zero or negative: Negative rake angles are used with carbide tipped tools
because they posses very high compressive strength and comparatively very low tensile and shear
strength. Negative rake angles are used with higher cutting speeds, with less tendency for a BUE, and
high heat distribution. Back rake for AI ± 30 to 35, steel ± 5 to 7, CI ± 3 to 5, Brass ± 0, etc with
H.S.S.
Back rake for steel ± 0 to ± 7, CI ± 0, AI ± 0 to 10, etc with carbide tools.
0c Side rake for AI ± 14 to 16, steel - 8 to 10, CI -10 to 12 etc with H.S.S and carbide tools.
0c End relief and side relief are 5 to 15 in general.
0c End cutting edge angle is 8 to 15 in general.
0c Side cutting edge angle is 0 to 90 in general.
0c Nose radius = 0.4mm for delicate components
= 0.4 to 1.2mm for carbide inserts
= 1.2 to 1.6mm for heavy duty inserts.
In the process of chip formation by tear, the work piece material adjacent to tool face is
compressed and a crack runs ahead of cutting and towards the body of the work piece.
In the chip formation by shear, there is general movement of the chip over tool face. As the
cutting tool advances into the work piece, the metal ahead of the tool is severely stressed. The cutting tool
causes internal shearing action in the metal, such that metal below the cutting edge yields and flows
plastically in the form of chip.
3"!"$(3
When machining ductile materials, conditions of high local temperature and extreme pressure in
the cutting zone and also high friction in the tool chip interface many cause the work material to adhere or
weld to the cutting edge of the tool forming the BUE. Successive layers of work material are then added
to the BUE. When this edge becomes larger and unstable, it breaks up and part of it is carried away by
chip while the remaining is left over the surface being machined, which contributes to the roughness of
the surface. The BUE change its size during cutting operation. It first increases, then decreases, then again
increases etc. The only advantage with BUE is, it increases the tool life.
#$&$
The factors influencing the type of chip produced are
0c Properties of material to be cut such as ductility.
0c Cutting parameters such as depth of cut, feed rate, effective rake angle of the tool, cutting speed, type
of cutting fluid etc.
0c Factors such as surface finish of the tool face, coefficient of friction between the tool and chip, and
the temperature change in the region of cutting.
Commonly three types of chips are formed during metal cutting.
a)c "" &$ ( &$ ± materials such as gray CI lack ductility necessary for
appreciable plastic deformation. Hence the compressed material ahead of the tool fails in a brittle
facture along the shear zone producing small chips. These chips are called discontinuous chips. The
factors favorable for producing discontinuous chips are
0c Low cutting speed
0c Brittle work material
0c Small rake angle
0c Large uncut chip thickness
0c Cutting with the use of cutting fluid
£c "" &$ It can be obtained when cutting ductile materials such as low carbon steel,
Aluminum and copper. This chip is severely deformed either in the form of a long strip or curl into a
tied roll. This type of chip remains in contact with the tool face for a longer period, resulting in more
frictional heat. Also the chips may curl around work and the tool and may injure the operator when
breaks loose. These difficulties are avoided by attaching chip breaker.
The factors favourable for continuous chips are
0c Ductile work material
0c Small uncut chip thickness, fine feed
0c High cutting speed
0c Large rake angle
0c Suitable cutting fluid
0c Using sharp cutting edge
&!* It is the angle made by shear plane with velocity of cutting. Use of proper cutting fluid
can increase shear angle. For a given depth of cut and shear strength of the work material, the reduction in
shear plane area reduces the forces required to produce sufficient shearing stress to cut the work.
t1/t2 = L2/L1 = r
Similarly
Vc b t1 = Vf b t2
t1/t2 = Vf/Vc = r
Ú!#! In the cutting process there are three velocities are existed.
a)c Cutting velocity ± is the speed of tool relative to the work and directed parallel to the cutting force.
b)c Chip flow velocity ± represents the speed of the chip relative to the cutting tool and directed along the
tool face.
c)c Shear velocity ± is the speed of the chip relative to the work piece and directed along the shear plane.
According to sine rule :- Vf / Sin Ø = Vs / sin (90-Õ ) = Vc / sin (90-(Ø-Õ ) )
& Shear strain in cutting is the ration of the distance the material being cut travels along
Shear plane to the spacing of successive shear planes.
Shear strain = Ȗ = Tan (Ø-Õ ) + Cot Ø
! " The knowledge of forces acting on a tool is required for the estimation of the
power requirements and for designing the machine tool, which is adequately rigid and free from
vibrations. The cutting forces will vary with
0c The tool angles
0c The finish of the tool
0c The composition of the work and tool material
0c Cutting speed
0c Whether cutting fluid is used or not.
The forces action on a chip can be represented on a free body diagram of the chip. The forces Fs and Fn
can be represented by the resultant ³R´ and the forces F and N can be represented by resultant ³R´. If the
chip were to be at equilibrium the forces R and R¶ should be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction
and collinear.
Fc and Ft can be measured by using two-component tool dynamometer, in which electrical strain gages
are used to measure the stain in the tool whenever the cutting force is supplied.
&!(£!0""
In orthogonal cutting forces acting are cutting force which is acting in the direction of cutting
motion and the feed force, which is perpendicular to the cutting force. The resultant of these two forces is
given as
In case of oblique cutting, three forces are acting which are mutally at right angles. They are
cutting force in the direction of cutting motion, thrust force acting in the horizontal plane in the direction,
parallel to generated surface and a radial force acting on a horizontal plane in the direction perpendicular
to the generated surface. The relationship between these forces Fc, Ft and Fr depends upon the cutting
variables, geometry of tool point, the work material, and the tool wear. The resultant force is given as
, With the increase in the cutting speed, the ratio of Ft / Fc and Fr / Fc will be decreasing.
- The relative value of Ft and Fr increase with the ±ve rake angels and wear along the flank.
.The ratio Ft / Fc increases and Fr / Fc decreses with the increase in depth of cut and plance of
approach angle.
"$
1)c The tool forces does not change significantly by changing the cutting speed
2)c As chip size increase, the cutting force. Increase, Ft decreases if the nose radius is made large or if the
side cutting edge angle is increases.
3)c Fc reduced as back rack angle is increased, for the every degree of increase, the cutting force is
reduced by 10%
4)c Use of coolants reduce the forces required on the tool. Coolants also increase the tool life to a greater
extant.
5)c The distribution of the cutting forces on a single point cutting tool in
a)c Orthogonal cutting Fc ----- 67 %, Ft ----- 33 %
b)c Oblique cutting Fc ----- 67 %, Ft ---- 27 %, Ft ----- 6 %

c
&3Max heat is generated in this zone due to the plastic deformation of the metal. The major
heat generated in this zone is carried away by the chip and remaining (less than 10%) is taken by
work piece. The total heat generated in the shear zone consists of heat of deformation and the heat of
distortion.
£c 3 &$ ! in this zone, as the chip moves upwards along the tool face, a
good amount of heat is generated due to friction at the chip tool interface, which further raises the
temp of chip. A part of the heat generated in this zone goes to the tool.
c Ñ' ! Due to friction between work and tool, the heat is generated. This heat is
carried away partly by the tool and partly by the work piece.
A ± Primary heat zone
B ± Secondary heat zone
C ± Tertiary heat zone
Heat distribution between chip, work and tool are 75%, 20% and 5% respectively.
In general tertiary heat zone is very less and so neglected.
Heat generated = heat carried by chip + heat carried by work

3)c Cutting condition --- speed, feed, depth of cut.

5)c Tools geometry more rake --- less heat
! !" While cutting (or) machining the tool should perform satisfactory. Unsatisfactory
performance for the tool indicates the tool has failed. When the tool indicates the tool has failed. When
the tool failure occurs, the following can be observed.
-The tool ceases to produce work piece, according to required dimensions
-The tool gets over heated (due to rubbing)
-Poor surface finish
-Increased cutting forces and hence the power consumption.
Failure of cutting tool may be due to one or a combination of the following modes.
-Plastic deformation due to high temp and large stress
-mechanical breakage
-Failure through gradual wear
#$)
,c !' ) 4 the flank wear occurs on the flank below the cutting edge. This is due to abrasive
contact with machined surface.
Îc Brittle material tend to cause flank wear because the tool cutting edge tends to scrap over the
machined surface and due to the abrasive action of the fractured chips on the tool.
The following ways the flank wear takes place
Îc Abrasion by hard particles and inclusion in the work piece.
Îc Shearing of the micro weds between tool and work material
Îc Abrasion by fragments of BUE
Îc At high temp rapid wear takes place due to diffusion
Îc Study wear is caused by abrasion and rapid wear is caused by diffusion.
-c )4crater wear occurs on the face of the tool in the form of a pit, called crated. The carter
is formed at some distance from the cutting edge. The location of the max crater depth and the max
tool ± chip interface temperature coincides with each other. Hence, the catering is assumed as a
temperature dependent phenomena caused by diffusion and adhesion etc. The crater significantly
reduces the strength of the tool and may lead to the total failure.
The crater wear is mainly due to
Îc Sever abrasion between the chip and tool face
Îc High temperature in the tool chip interface
Îc Diffusion
!!4Tool life can be defined as the time elapsed between two successive grindings of the tool. The
tool life is one of the important economic considerations in metal cutting. The tool life can be expressed
in
I.c Minutes ± in general
II.c No on pieces produced ± in mass production
III.c Volume of metal removed ± in rough machining
The factors affecting tool life are
Îc cutting speed
Îc feed and depth of cut
Îc tool material
Îc work material
Îc tool geometry
Îc cutting fluids
Îc machine tool rigidity
Taylor¶s tool life equation is
VT = C Where V = cutting speed in m/s
T = tool life in min
C = constant
N = tool life exponent = 0.1 to 0.6
"" & A high degree of homogeneity decreases the ease of
machinability giving rise to tearing, poor surface finish and formation of BUE. Hence it is difficult to
machine pure metals such as iron, copper and full solid solutions.
Îc Heterogeneous alloys whose components are segregated into bands or into excessively
large grains is also bad for machining.
Îc Alloys having hard and soft components uniformly dispersed (or) distributed tend to give
good properties.
Îc A uniform heterogeneous structure will give best machining.
Îc The machinability index may vary from metal to metal and also from process to process
like heave turning, light turning, forming or milling etc.
Îc The machinability index of free cutting steels is fixed at 100% and with this one the
machinability of other metals is calculated.

Machining economic can be done based on the following criteria
a)c For minimum cost b) for max production rate c) for max profit
" Total cost of machining one component = machining cost + cost of setting up m/c +
cost loading and unloading of part + tooling cost.
Cp = Cm + Cs + C1 + Ct
Normally Cs and C1 are constant and does not have any effect due to change of cutting parameters.
Cm = Tm x L m
Tm = Machining time per piece = L / f N = l L D / 1000 f V
Lm = Labour + over head cost during machining per min
Z = No. of pieces produced per tool life
T = Tool life
The cutting velocity for min cost is
V=C
6 " $("Total processing time for a component = machining time + machine setting
time + leading and unloading of part +tool change time per piece.
T p = Tm + Ts + T1 + Tc/z
Ts and T1 are constant and does not vary with cutting parameters
Tp = Tm + Tc / z
d T p /dV = 0
V=Ci
Where Tc = time needs to change the tool.
67$ Profit = selling price ± production cost
Production cost = cost of raw material + cost of machining
So in this selling price and cost of raw material are constant and so the profit is mainly a
function of cost machining only. By minimizing the cost of machining we can maximize
the profit.

During turning a cylindrical job the tool tip must coincide with centre line of job, if not the effects
are:
a)c If tool tip is above centre line, the toll will destroyed due to firiction
b)c If tool tip is below centre line, the tool tip will dull rapidly.
To reduce the above two effects the tool is filled at slightly inclined position, dut to this the back rake

During cutting of threads on lathe we have to control the movement of tool with respect to work.
Here the work is always rotating but this rotation is transferred to lead screen through gear box, the tool
will move as the lead screw moves. If the rotation of work and lead screw are equal then the number of
threads produced per unit length is equal to the number per threads per unit length on lead screw.
¥Train value = Gear Ratio = speed of follower / Speed of driver
=no. of teeth on driver gear / no. of teeth on driver gear
=pitch to be cut on job (mm) / pitch on lead screw(mm)
=Lead of job threads (mm) / lad of lead screw threads (mm)
Lead = number of starts x pitch
In general on lathe change gears are available in the range of 20 to 120 with 5 teeth step that is
20, 25, 30, 335, «««..120 and one 127 teeth gear is available for cutting British threads. Also for each
teeth one gear is available
Note: Threads per unit length on lead screw is called lathe constant.
Ex: Calculate suitable gear trains for cutting 10 mm pitch 3 starts on a lathe with a lead screw having 6.25
mm pitch. How can you change the hand of thread and how can you cut second and third start threads.
Note: For cutting left hand threads the spindle and lead screw must rotate in the same direction that is
carriage should move from left to right (hand stock to tail stock). So during design of change gears:
i)c If we get compound gear train, the rotation is in same direction, so we have to use 0 (or)

ii)c If we get simple gear train, the rotation is opposite we have to use 1, (or) 3, (or) ««« odd
number of idlers.
Similarly for R.H.threads the whole story is just reversed.

0c When the cutting edge is too blunt and the force is sufficiently high, the grain may either get
fractured or break away from the wheel.
0c When a fracture takes place, new sharp cutting edges are generated and when the whole grain is
removed, new grains becomes exposed and active. This gives the Gw self sharpening characteristics.
0c The specific cutting energy of grinding is more because of
a)c Due to the nature of the process, very hot and small chips ae produced which may readily get
welded to either the abrasive grit or back on to the work piece.
b)c Due to random abrasive grit orientation, a no. of grits may have very large ±ve rake angle and
may rub rather than

structures.
&(%%%%indicates grade
It refers to the strength of the bond. The hardness of a wheel refers tto the strength of the bond,
but not the hardness of the grit. Hard wheels means strong bonding and the abrasives can with stand for
higher cutting forces. Even though the abrasive is diamond , if the bonding is soft then it breaks easily.

The following are the operation involved during sheet metal working.
Clearance is the space between the pouch and die. For a round punch and die opening it is the
difference of the two radii. If the clearance is correct, based on the type and thickness of material, the
two fractures will met as stated above and a blank having good clean edges will result. The edge of the
blank will appear burnished for about one third of its edge length. This is the depth to which the punch
penetrated before complete fracture took place.

correct size and clearance is provided on die.

)It is the ratio of max blank diameter to the diameter of the cup drawn from the blank, that is
D/d. For a given material there is a limiting draw ratio (LDR) after which the punch will pierce a hole in
the blank instead of drawing the blank.
This ratio depends upon many factors such as type of material, amount of friction present etc.
the usual range is 1.6 to 2.3
Venting (i. e. a hole is provided in punch ) in punch serves as
a)Eliminates suction, which would hold the cup on punch during return stroke
b)Providing passage for lubricants

a)draw reduction ratio b)limiting draw ratio

Whenever dia. of punch is less than or equal to the required dia of component, the
corresponding draw number is the no. of draws.

developed blank before drawing should be the same as the surface area of the shell after drawing,
providing the thickness of the material remains unchanged.

#$(Accounting to the method of operation the dies are classified as
a)Single operation (or) simple dies
b)Compound dies c)Combination dies d)Progressive dies
$!(These will perform single operation for each stroke of the press slide. The operation may be
a cutting operation like blanking, punching etc (or) forming operation like bending, drawing etc.
$"((In these dies two or more operations will perform at one station and at one stroke. Also
these are considered only as cutting dies. The example is washer is provided by blanking and piercing
operations simultaneously. These are accurate and economical in mass production.
£( In this die also two more operations will perform at one station and one stroke. But
the operation are not only cutting, here the cutting operation is combined with forming operation for
example blanking is combined with bending or drawing operations.
m8( It is also called follow on die. It is like a compound die, but the difference is here all the
operations will be completed in one stroke but not at one stage. Between the strokes the strip is
transferred or moved to the next stages, but finally one component or product will comes out per stroke.
But the advantage here is we can stagger the punches to reduce the max force capacity of a punch press.

another, in transfer dies the already cut blanks are fed mechanically from station to station.

Metal forming is a process in which the desired size and shape are obtained through the
plastic deformation of a material. The stresses included during the process are greater than yield
and less than fracture. The type of loading may be tensile, compressive, bending, shearing or
combination
Îc This process is very economical because of no loss of material
Îc Some time strength also can be improved through strain hardening
- Under the action of heat and force, when the atoms reach a certain higher energy level, the new
crystals start forming which is termed as recrystallisation.
- R. C. T also depends on the amount of cold work a metal has already. Higher the cold work,
lower will be RCT.
- For some of the metals like leas and Tim RCT is below room temperature, Cadmium and Zinc
RCT is room temperature.
- In hot working, the temperature at which the working is completed is important since any extra
heat left after working will aid in grain growth thus giving poor mechanical properties.

!!It is a process where the metal is compressed between two rotating rolls for reduction its
CS area. It is most widely used due to higher productivity and low cost. General application are I,
T, C and channel section etc.
Îc Rolling is a hot working process unless specifically mentioned as cold rolling.
Îc In rolling metal is taken into rolls by friction
Îc Rougher rollers will achieve greater reduction than smoother rolls, but rolled metal also be
rough.
Îc The reduction that would be achieved with a given set of rolls is designated as the angle of
bite.
Îc Volume flow of metal remains scene before and after rolling and so velocity of billet after
rolling is higher than before rolling.
Îc When the metal enters the rolls the surface speed of rolls is higher than incoming metal, but
metal velocity at exist is higher than that of surface speed of rolls
Îc Between the entrance and exit the velocity of metal is continuously changing, but roll velocity
remains constant. Some where in the contact length the velocities of metal and rolls are same
which is called neutral plane.
Îc Typical value of angle of bite are
Cod rolling with lubrication 3 and 4
Hot rolling of tubes 12 to 14
Hot rolling of sheets 15 to 22
Hot rolling with rough rolls 27 to 34
Îc Pressure on rolls increases from inlet to neutral point, maximum at neutral point and then
decreases till it reaches exit
Îc Roll separating force = average roll pressure x total contact area
Îc Average roll pressure is a function of contact length, so roll separating force can be reduced by
reducing contact length.
Îc Contact length can be reduced by reduced by reducing roll diameter, because smaller rollers
will have less contact length than larger rolls for large reductions and cold rolling.
Îc So smaller rollers are used for large reductions and cold rolling.
Îc The smaller rollers are less rigid to withstand for roll separating force, so back up rolls are
attached to provide necessary rigidity.

The sizing zone is usually of a cylindrical form and other zones are conical. The taper angle ³Õ ³of the

In plug drawing, the friction drag acts in the backward direction (i.e towards the die
entrance) both at die tube interface and tube plug interface. But in tube drawing with moving mandrel

6"It is the process of forcing metal enclosed in a container through the opening of a die. In its
CS the extruded metal acquires the contour and dimensions of the die opening. Extrusion is more widely
used in fabricating non-ferrous metals and their alloys. However steel and other ferrous alloys can also be
successfully processed.
The main advantage of extrusion is that high compressive stresses are set up in the billet
due to its reaction with the container and the die. These stresses are effective in reducing the cracking of
materials during primary breakdown from the billet. Due to this large reductions are possible and also the
difficult metals like, SS, Nickel based alloys, high temperature materials can be extruded.
Extrusion is generally considered as a closed die forging, the difference is that the main
body of the metal is the product and flash is cut away and almost no slug remaining but in extrusion the
flash itself is the product and there is a slug remaining in the die.
0c A long hallow ram is required in indirect extrusion, which limit the loads can applied.
0c To reduce frictional forces, a hydraulic press is used, so that it can also act as lubricant.
0c The pressures used in hydrostatic extrusion are 1100 to3250 Mpa.
0c The commonly used fluids in hydrostatic extrusion are Glycerine, Ethyleglycol, SAE 30, castor
oil etc.
0c Applications are - making wires of less ductile materials, and extrusion of nuclear reactor fuel
rods.
0c The cold impact extraction is used to produce short length of hallow shapes such as collapsible
tooth paste tubes, however it is limited to soft and ductile materials like Al, tin, lead etc.
0c Hallow work pieces can be produced by attaching a mandrel to the end of the ram in forward
extrusion and also known as Hooker extrusion .
0c Extrusion ratio is the ratio of billet area to product area which is 40 in case of steel and in case of
Al.
