Introduction

Machining processes has the capability of producing


parts that are round in shape
Such as miniature screws for the hinges of eyeglass
frames and turbine shafts for hydroelectric power plants
Most basic machining processes is turning where part
is rotated while it is being machined
Turning processes are carried out on a lathe or by
similar machine tools
Highly versatile and produce a wide variety of shapes

Turning is performed at various:


Rotational speeds, N, of the workpiece clamped in a
spindle
Depths of cut, d

cutting-tool materials, surface finish, dimensional
accuracy and characteristics of the machine tool

The Turning Process

Majority of turning operations use simple single-point


cutting tools, which is a right-hand cutting tool
Important process parameters have a direct influence
on machining processes and optimized productivity

Tool Geometry

Rake angle control both the direction of chip flow and


the strength of the tool tip

Side rake angle controls the direction of chip flow

Cutting-edge angle affects chip formation, tool


strength and cutting forces

Relief angle controls interference and rubbing at the


toolworkpiece interface

Nose radius affects surface finish and tool-tip strength

Forces in Turning

The 3 principal forces acting on a cutting tool are


important in the design of machine tools, deflection of
tools and workpieces for precision-machining
operations

Cutting force acts downward on the tool tip and deflect


the tool downward and the workpiece upward

Thrust force (or feed force) acts in the longitudinal


direction

The Turning Process


Roughing and Finishing Cuts

First practice is to have one or more roughing cuts at


high feed rates and large depths of cut

Little consideration for dimensional tolerance and


surface roughness

Followed by a finishing cut, at a lower feed and depth


of cut for good surface finish

General design guidelines:


Parts should be designed to be fixtured and clamped
easily into work-holding devices
Dimensional accuracy and surface finish should be as
wide as permissible for the part to still function properly
Sharp corners should be avoided
Blanks should be as close to final dimensions as
possible
Parts should be designed so that cutting tools can
travel across the workpiece without obstruction
Design features should be commercially available

Design Considerations and Guidelines for Turning
Operations

Guidelines for Turning Operations

Some guidelines have to be implemented on a trialand-error basis:


1.
Minimize tool overhang
2.
Support the workpiece rigidly
3.
Use machine tools with high stiffness and high damping
capacity
4.
When tools begin to vibrate and chatter, modify one or
more of the process parameters

Chip Collection Systems

5.

Chips produced during machining must be collected


and disposed properly
Chip management involves collecting chips from their
source in the machine tool in an efficient manner and
removing them from the work area
Chips can be collected by:
Gravity drop
Dragging the chips from a settling tank
Using augers with feed screws
Using magnetic conveyors
Employing vacuum methods of chip removal

Lathes and Lathe Operations:

Cutting Screw Threads

Screw thread defined as a ridge of uniform cross


section that follows a helical or spiral path on the
outside or inside of a cylindrical (straight thread) or
tapered surface (tapered thread)
Threads can be machined externally or internally with a
cutting tool called thread cutting or threading

Screw-thread Cutting on a Lathe

thread to be cut

Cutting Screw Threads


Design Considerations for Screw Thread Machining

Design considerations must be taken into account:


1.
Designs should allow for the termination of threads
2.
Attempts should be made to eliminate shallow, blind
tapped holes
3.
Chamfers should be specified at the ends of threaded
sections
4.
Threaded sections should not be interrupted
5.
Standard threading tooling and inserts should be used
6.
Thin-walled parts should have sufficient thickness and
strength
Copyright 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd

Boring and Boring Machines

The cutting tools are mounted on a boring bar to reach


the full length of the bore
Boring bars have been designed and built with
capabilities for damping vibration
Large workpieces are machined on boring mills

Copyright 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd

Boring and Boring Machines

In horizontal boring machines, the workpiece is


mounted on a table that can move horizontally in both
the axial and radial directions
A vertical boring mill is similar to a lathe, has a
vertical axis of workpiece rotation

Copyright 2010 Pearson Education South Asia Pte Ltd

Boring and Boring Machines


Design Considerations for Boring:
1.
Through holes should be specified
2.
Greater the length-to-bore-diameter ratio, the more
difficult it is to hold dimensions
3.
Interrupted internal surfaces should be avoided

Hand reamers have a tapered end in the first third of


their length
Machine reamers are available in two types: Rose
