PROBLEMS
1- A cylindrical workpart 200 mm in diameter and 700 mm long is to be turned in an engine
lathe. Cutting conditions are as follows: cutting speed is 2.30 m/s, feed is 0.32 mm/rev, and
depth of cut is 1.80 mm. Determine (a) cutting time, and (b) metal removal rate.
Solution: (a) N = v/(πD) = (2.30 m/s)/0.200π = 3.66 rev/s
fr = Nf = 6.366(.3) = 1.17 mm/s
Tm = L/fr = 700/1.17 = 598 s = 9.96 min
Alternative calculation using Eq. (22.5), Tm = 200(700)π/(2,300 x 0.32) = 597.6 sec = 9.96
min
(b) RMR = vfd = (2.30 m/s)(103)(0.32 mm)(1.80 mm) = 1320 mm3/s .
2- In a production turning operation, the foreman has decreed that a single pass must be
completed on the cylindrical workpiece in 5.0 min. The piece is 400 mm long and 150 mm in
diameter. Using a feed = 0.30 mm/rev and a depth of cut = 4.0 mm, what cutting speed must
be used to meet this machining time requirement?
Solution: Starting with Eq. (22.5): Tm = πDoL/vf.
Rearranging to determine cutting speed: v = πDoL/fTm
v = π(0.4)(0.15)/(0.30)(10-3)(5.0) = 0.1257(103) m/min = 125.7 m/min
3- A drilling operation is to be performed with a 12.7 mm diameter twist drill in a steel
workpart. The hole is a blind hole at a depth of 60 mm and the point angle is 118°. The
cutting speed is 25 m/min and the feed is 0.30 mm/rev. Determine (a) the cutting time to
complete the drilling operation, and (b) metal removal rate during the operation, after the drill
bit reaches full diameter.
Solution: (a) N = v/πD = 25(103) / (12.7π) = 626.6 rev/min
fr = Nf = 626.6(0.30) = 188 mm/min
Tm = L/fr = 60/188 = 0.319 min
(b) RMR = 0.25πD2fr = 0.25π(12.7)2(188) = 23,800 mm3/min
14- Tool life tests in turning yield the following data: (1) when cutting speed is 100 m/min,
tool life is 10 min; (2) when cutting speed is 75 m/min, tool life is 30 min. (a) Determine the
n and C values in the Taylor tool life equation. Based on your equation, compute (b) the tool
life for a speed of 110 m/min, and (c) the speed corresponding to a tool life of 15 min.
Solution: (a) Two equations: (1) 120(7)n = C and (2) 80(28)n = C.
120(7)n = 80(28)n
ln 120 + n ln 7 = ln 80 + n ln 28
4.7875 + 1.9459 n = 4.3820 + 3.3322 n
4.7875 - 4.3820 = (3.3322 – 1.9459) n
0.4055 = 1.3863 n n = 0.2925
C = 120(7)0.2925 = 120(1.7668) C = 212.0
Check: C = 80(28)0.2925 = 80(2.6503) = 212.0
(b) 110 T0.2925 = 212.0](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/assignment4machining-withsolutions-121213110841-phpapp02/85/Assignment-4-machining-with-solutions-1-320.jpg)
