1. Unit-1 Part A
1 What are the adverse effects of producing very long continuous chips? UN, CO1
It will affect the surface of workpiece.
Poor surface finish will be obtained.
It will also affect the effectiveness of tool.
Finally, it will decrease the tool life
Increase the energy consumption
2 Enumerate the function of chip breakers. UN, CO1
Break the chips into small pieces
Improve chip control
Reduce the cutting resistance
Increase the machining performance
3 List the conditions when continuous chips are produced UN, CO1
Continuous chips are produced when,
The material is ductile.
Cutting speed is high.
Depth of cut is small
Rake angle is large
Sufficient lubrication is provided
4 Define tool life RE, CO1
It is defined as “interval of time for which tool works satisfactorily
between the two successive sharpenings”.
5 Deduce the factors that contribute to poor surface finish in cutting UN, CO1
Cutting speed, feed, depth of cut, metal removal rate
6 Write the Taylors tool life equation (or) How is tool life estimated?
VTn =C
V = cutting speed (m/min)
T = tool life (min)
n & C are constants
7 Compare orthogonal and oblique cutting UN, CO1
Orthogonal cutting Oblique cutting
It is a 2D cutting It is a 3D cutting
2. Cutting edge of the tool is oriented
at 90° to the tool feed
Cutting edge of the tool is inclined
at an acute angle to the tool feed
8 Classify the different types of chips UN, CO1
Discontinuous chips
continuous chips
continuous chip with built up edge
9 Why is lubrication not required while machining cast iron? UN, CO1
The graphite in the cast iron acts as a lubricant in itself.
10 Classify the tool wear RE, CO1
Crater wear, flank wear and chemical wear
11 What do you understand by cutting tool signature? (or)
Name the seven elements of tool geometry for a single point cutting tool
RE, CO1
The numerical code that describes all the key angles of a cutting tool
is called cutting tool signature.
Example:
12 Define the term machinability and machinability index RE, CO1
Machinability is the ease with which a material can be machined
satisfactorily.
Machinability index =
𝐶𝑢𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑓𝑜𝑟 20 min 𝑡𝑜𝑜𝑙 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒
𝑐𝑢𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑝𝑒𝑒𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑒 𝑐𝑢𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝑓𝑜𝑟 20 min 𝑡𝑜𝑜𝑙 𝑙𝑖𝑓𝑒

3. 13 Name the various cutting tool materials RE, CO1
• High speed steel (HSS)
• High carbon steel
• Cemented carbides
• Ceramics
• Stellite
• Diamond
14 Enumerate the functions of cutting fluids UN, CO1
• It will reduce the friction at the tool-chip interface.
• It will reduce the heat at the tool-chip interface
• It prevents adhesion of chips to the tool or workpiece
15 Define tool wear RE, CO1
Tool wear is the gradual breakdown of machine tool as a result of
machining operation.
16 Define rake angle. How does rake angle affect the life of the cutting tool? UN, CO1
The rake angle is the angle between the front or cutting face of the
tool and a line perpendicular to the workpiece.
Rake angle is a cutting-edge angle that has large effects on
cutting resistance,
chip disposal,
cutting temperature and
tool life.
