Material and Manufacturing II (Session 2021)

Deadline – Monday December 19, 2022
A 12 inch long, 1 inch diameter of Steel alloy is being reduced in diameter to 0.8 inch by
turning on a lathe. Take suitable spindle speed, feed, and depth of cut values. Calculate cutting
force, torque, power, and minimum energy during the operation. Also, compare effect of
change of one factor on other. For example, effect of depth on cutting force and cutting power.
