MECH 311: Manufacturing Processes – Fall 2016

Assignment 3

Q1. In a machining operation that approximates orthogonal cutting, the cutting tool has a rake angle =
100. The chip thickness before the cut is t0 = 0.50 mm and the chip thickness after the cut tc = 1.125 in.
Calculate the shear plane angle and he shear strain in the operation. (5 marks)

Q2. Suppose that the cutting force and thrust force are measured in the above example. Fc = 1559 N and
Ft = 1271 N. The width of the orthogonal cutting operation w = 3.0 mm. Based on these data, determine
the sear strength of the work material. (5 marks)

Q3. A tapered surface is turned on an automatic lathe. The workpiece is 550 mm long with minimum and
maximum diameters of 100 mm and 200 mm at opposite ends. Automatic controls on the lathe permit the
surface speed to be maintained at a constant value of 200 m/min by adjusting the rotational speed as a
function of workpiece diameter. Feed = 0.25 mm/rev, and depth of cut = 3.0 mm. The rough geometry of
the piece has already been formed, and this operation will be the final cut. Determine (a) the time
required to turn the taper and (b) the rotational speeds at the beginning and end of the cut (assume
cutting starts at the smaller diameter). (10 marks)

Q4. A two-spindle drill simultaneously drills a ½-in hole and a ¾-in hole through a workpiece that is 1.0 in
thick. Both drills are twist drills with point angles of 118°. Cutting speed for the material is 300 fpm. The
rotational speed of each spindle can be set individually. The feed rate for both holes must be set to the
same value because the two spindles feed at the same rate. The feed rate is set so the total metal removal
rate of both drills does not exceed 1.50 in3/min. Determine (a) maximum feed rate (in/min) that can be
used, (b) individual feeds (in/rev) for each hole, and (c) cutting time to drill the holes. (10 marks)
