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).
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°
, Fs =
cutting force Fc =
Fc = 1000 x
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:
Substituting the given values into the equation:
Let's compute the value of the term:
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:
Therefore, the cutting force is expressed as:
4. Calculate the angles:
- Numerator angle:
- Denominator angle:
5. Compute the Cutting Force (Fc):
Substitute the trigonometric values:
-
-
Now plug these values in:
Thus, the cutting force is 2573.40 N.
