1) A HSS tool is used to rough turn a steel workpart that is 300 mm long and 80 mm in

diameter for a feed of 0.4 mm/rev. The operator and machine tool rate = $30.00/hr, and
the tooling cost per cutting edge = $4.00. It takes 2.0 min to load and unload the work part
and 42.6m/min optimum cutting speed for minimum cost. If the Taylor tool life equation is
VT 0.13 =75, Determine:
a) The total machining time
b) production rate for minimum cost
c) Total machining cost
2) Plot and define the graph of cost Vs cutting speed in economics of machining
3) Find exist optimum cutting speed for minimum production time and minimum production
cost.
Define the purpose of pattern allowance
4) Sketch the graph of three phase metal solidification and define the purpose at higher density
of the phase.
