2. 2. Traditional machining processes
2.1. Mechanics of machining
What is machining?
Machining is a general term describing a group of processes that
consist of the removal of material and modification of the
surfaces of a workpiece after it has been produced
β’
Machining involves both in traditional and nontraditional
machining operations such as turning, boring, drilling, milling,
planing, shaping, broaching, and grinding, ultrasonic machining;
chemical, electrical electrochemical machining; and high-energy-
beam machining.

3. β’ Workpieces are brought to its required shape and size by
removing unwanted material from workpiece material in the
form of chips.
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 3
4. Machining processes involves
ο§ Cutting
ο§ Abrasive processes
ο§ Advance machining processes
Cutting processes remove material from the surface of workpiece
by producing chips
β’ Turning: a tool remove a layer of material from a rotating
workpiece
β’ Cutting-off operation, where the cutting tool moves radially
inward and separates the right piece
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 4
5. β’ Slab-milling: rotating cutting tool removes a layer of material
from the surface of workpiece
β’ End-milling: a rotating cutter travels along a certain depth in
the workpiece and produces a cavity
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 5
6. Working Principle of machine tools
Machining operation takes place by the relative movement of tool
and work piece. Either tool move (milling, drilling, shaping) or
workpiece move (lathe, planing)
Machine tool produces geometrical surfaces
β’ Flat surfaces
β’ Cylindrical surfaces
β’ Contour surfaces

β’ The tool is harder than the work metal
β’ The tool is properly shaped so that its edge can be effective in
cutting the metal
β’ The tool is strong enough to resist cutting pressure but keen
enough to severe the metal
β’ Movement of tool relative to workpiece
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 7
8. Depth of cut, feed and cutting velocity
β’ The basic elements of machining operations:
1. Workpiece
2. Tool
3. Chip
Depth of cut(d): the amount of diameter to be reduced
Feed (f): amount of length reduced per revolution
Cutting speed(v): the measure of cutting tool how it rotates.
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 8
9. 2.2. Mechanism of chip formation
The fig. shows shaping operation
οΌ Metal gets compressed severely
as tool reciprocates results in
shear stress
οΌ Stress is maximum along the
plane called shear plane
If job is ductile, the material flows
plastically along the shear plane
forming chip, which flows upwards
along the face of the tool
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 9
10. β’ A cutting tool moves to the left along the workpiece at a
constant velocity V, and a depth of cut t
β’ A chip is produced a head of the tool by plastically deforming
and shearing the material continuously along the shear plane.
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 10
11. Types of chips
a) Continuous chips
b) Discontinuous or segmental chips
c) Continuous chips with built-up edge
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 11
12. Cont.
a) Continuous chips
οΆ It is continuous plastic deformation of metal ahead of the tool, the
chip moving smoothly up the tool face
οΆ These type of chip is produce while
machining ductile material like mild
steel under favorable condition
οΆ Bigger rake angle, finer feed and
keen cutting edge
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 12
13. Cont.
b) Discontinuous chip
οΆ These chips are produced in the form of small segment during
machining of brittle material like cast iron
οΆ These also produced in machining of
ductile material when low cutting
Speed without adequate lubrication
οΆ These results wear of tool and poor
surface finish
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 13
14. Cont.
c) Continuous chips with built up edge
οΆ While machining ductile material when high friction exists at tool β
chip interface results a continuous chip with built up edge
οΆ Reaction of the chip on tool rises an
extensively high temperature and
compressed metal adjacent to tool
nose gets welded to it
οΆ The extra metal welded to the tool is called built up edge
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 14
15. Orthogonal and oblique cutting
Orthogonal cutting: in which the cutting edge is normal to workpiece
(angle = 90Β°)
Oblique cutting: in which the cutting action is inclined with the job by
a certain angle called inclination angle
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 15
16. 2.3. Tool geometry
β’ Tool geometry is basically referred to some specific angles or slope
of the salient faces and edges of the tools at their cutting point.
Both material and geometry of the cutting tools play a big roles on the
effectiveness, efficiency and economics of machining
β’ Tool geometry affects mechanics of chip formation, cutting
temperature, wear and product accuracy and finish.

between tool cutting edge and work piece.
vi) Side cutting edge angle
It is the angle between straight cutting edge on the side of tool

the chips move
Flank surface that face the workpiece. There are two flank surfaces,
namely principal and auxiliary flank surfaces.
Cutting edge that remove material from the workpiece.
Corner or cutting point, which is meeting point of the principal and
auxiliary cutting edges. Often a nose
radius is provided to avoid a sharp
corner
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 21
22. 2.3.1 Concept of rake and clearance angle
β’ Rake and clearance angle of a cutting tool are the most important
feature of cutting tool
Rake angle (πΈ): inclination of rake surface from reference plane
Clearance angle (Ξ±): Angle of inclination of clearance or flank surface
from the finished surface
Rake and clearance angles of cutting tools
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 22
23. Cont.
Function of rake angle
β’ It allows the chip to flow in convenient direction
β’ Reduce cutting force and hence reduce power consumption
β’ Increase tool life and Improve surface finish
Rake angle may be positive, or negative or even zero as shown in Figure
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 23
24. Relative advantage of rake angle
ο Positive rake β helps reduce cutting force and thus cutting power
requirement
ο Negative rake β to increase edge-strength and life of the tool
ο Zero rake β to simplify design and manufacture of the form tools
Clearance angle is essentially provided to avoid rubbing of the tool
(flank) with the machined surface which causes loss of energy and
damages of both the tool and the job surface. Hence, clearance
angle is must be positive (3 ~ 15Β° depending upon tool-work
materials and type of the machining operations)

45. 2.5. Tool wear and tool life
Tool failure
A properly designed cutting tool is expected to perform the metal
cutting operation
If it is not giving a satisfactory performance it is indicator of the tool
failure and these are observed by the following effect during operation:
β’ Poor surface finish
β’ Higher consumption of power
β’ Overheating of cutting tool
β’ Appearance of burnishing band on the work surface
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 45
46. Cont.
β’ During the operation, a cutting tool may fail due to one or more of
the following reasons:
1. Thermal cracking and softening
2. Mechanical chipping
3. Gradual wear
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 46
47. Tool failure due to Thermal cracking and softening
β’ Although the cutting tool is quit hard to withstand high
temperature, still every tool material has a certain limit to which it
can withstand the elevated temperature without losing its hardness
β’ If that limit crossed, the tool material starts deforming plastically at
the tip and at the cutting edge under the action of cutting pressure
and the high temperature
β’ The main factors responsible for creating such condition of tool
failure are cutting speed, high feed rate, excessive depth of cut,
smaller nose radius and improper selection of tool material
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 47
48. Cont.

πΆπππππ‘ππ πΆππππππ 800β β 1000β
Fluctuation of temperature on the cutting tool subjected to local
expansion and contraction leads to thermal cracking
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 49
50. Tool failure due to mechanical chipping
β’ Mechanical chipping of the nose and/or the cutting edge fail due to
high cutting pressure, mechanical impact, excessive wear, too high
vibration and chatter, weak tip and cutting edge, etc.
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 50
51. Tool failure due to gradual wear
β’ When a tool is in use for sometime it is found to have lost some
weight or mass, implying that it has lost some material from it, which
is due to wear
Types of wears βcrater wear
βFlank wear
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 51
52. Cont.
Crater wear
Crater wear is created due to pressure of hot chip sliding up the
face of the tool
The metal from the tool is supposed to transferred sliding chip in
the form of diffusion
Higher feed and lack of cutting fluids increase the rate of crate
wear
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 52
53. Cont.
Flank wear
β’ It occurs due to abrasion between tool flank and work piece and
excessive heat generation
β’ The magnitude of these wear is depend on tool material hardness
when a tool is subjected to such type of wear:
ο Work piece loses its dimensional accuracy
ο Energy consumption/power requirement is increased
ο Poor surface finish of work piece
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 53
54. Mechanism of wear
1. Abrasion
2. Adhesion
3. Diffusion
4. Chemical wear
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 54
55. Abrasion
The material of the tool face is softened due to high temperature; and
hard particles present on the underside of the chip may be:
β’ Fragments of hard tool material
β’ Broken pieces of built-up edge which are strain hardened
β’ Extremely hard constituents
fragment of hard tool material plough into relatively softer
material of tool face and remove metal particles by mechanical
action
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 55
56. Adhesion
β’ Due to excessive pressure high friction occurs between the sliding
surface of the chip and the tool face
β’ This gives rise in temperature, causing metallic bond between the
material of tool face and the chip
β’ When the chip slides, these small
small welds are broken. But this
separation is not along the line of
contact
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 56
57. Diffusion
Solid sate diffusion, which consists of transfer of atoms in metal crystal
lattice, at elevated temperature
The amount of diffusion depends on
o Temperature at the contact between the tool face and chip
o Period of contact between the tool face and chip
o The bonding affinity between the material of the tool and the
chip
2/29/2024 Manufacturing Engineering I 57
58. Chemical wear
οΆ These occurs when cutting fluid is chemically active to the material
of the tool
οΆ Chemical reaction taking places between the cutting fluid and the
tool material, leading to a change in chemical composition of
material of tool

β’ To maximize the rate of production , high speed and feed can be
used. But higher speed and feed reduces tool life
οΌ results in frequent tool change.
