Assume we use a milling machine with a 10 kW capacity to make a steel mold, removing 3 cm^3/s. If the specific heat of steel equals 470 J/(kg·K), how much hotter will the chips get assuming that 80% of the input power goes toward heating the chips? Consider a steel density of 0.0078 kg/cm^3.
Question 2 (5 points):
Assume you wish to machine a thin-walled electronics housing from a block of metal. The outside surface of the housing needs a high-quality finish, but the inside does not. Which surface of the housing do you machine first?
A) The outside surface
B) The inside surface
C) It doesn't matter
D) Not enough information
Question 3 (5 points):
One of the advantages of machining is that bending is not a problem. Even when working with slender workpieces, elastic deformation is not an issue due to the high relative speed between the tool and the workpiece.
A) True
B) False
