Question Details

Under orthogonal cutting condition, a turning operation is carried out on a metallic workpiece at a cutting speed of 4 m/s. The orthogonal rake angle of the cutting tool is 5°. The uncut chip thickness and width of cut are 0.2 mm and 3 mm, respectively. In this turning operation, the resulting friction angle and shear angle are 45º and 25°, respectively. If the dynamic yield shear strength of the workpiece material under this cutting condition is 1000 MPa, then the cutting force is ______________ N (round off to one decimal place).

Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Correct answer is 2573.40

shear strength, τs = 1000 MPa, cutting speed, V = 4 m/s

rake angle α = 5° , uncut chip thickness, t = 0.2 mm

width of cut w = 3 mm, friction angle β = 45°

shear angle ϕ = 25°

F c F s = R c o s ( β α ) R c o s ( ϕ + β α ) , F= τ s w t s i n   ϕ

cutting force Fc = τ s w t s i n   ϕ

Fc = 1000 x  1000 × 3   ×   0.2 sin   25 × cos ( 40 ) cos ( 65 )

Fc = 2573.40 N

Solution :

The correct answer is 2573.40.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

1. Identify the given parameters from the problem:
- Cutting speed, V = 4 m/s
- Rake angle, α = 5°
- Uncut chip thickness, t = 0.2 mm
- Width of cut, w = 3 mm
- Friction angle, β = 45°
- Shear angle, ϕ = 25°
- Dynamic yield shear strength of the workpiece material, τs = 1000 MPa = 1000 N/mm2

2. Calculate the shear force (Fs):
The shear force is the force acting along the shear plane, defined by the formula:
F s = τ s × w × t sin ϕ
Substituting the given values into the equation:
F s = 1000 × 3 × 0.2 sin ( 25 )
Let's compute the value of the term:
F s = 1000 × 0.6 0.422618 1419.72 N

3. Relate the cutting force (Fc) and the shear force (Fs) using Merchant's Circle relations:
From Merchant's force circle diagram, the relationship between cutting force and shear force is given by:
F c F s = cos ( β α ) cos ( ϕ + β α )
Therefore, the cutting force is expressed as:
F c = F s × cos ( β α ) cos ( ϕ + β α )

4. Calculate the angles:
- Numerator angle: β α = 45 5 = 40
- Denominator angle: ϕ + β α = 25 + 45 5 = 65

5. Compute the Cutting Force (Fc):
F c = 1000 × 3 × 0.2 sin ( 25 ) × cos ( 40 ) cos ( 65 )
Substitute the trigonometric values:
- cos ( 40 ) 0.766044
- cos ( 65 ) 0.422618
Now plug these values in:
F c = 1419.72 × 0.766044 0.422618
F c 1419.72 × 1.81261 2573.40 N

Thus, the cutting force is 2573.40 N.
