Example
The outside diameter of a cylinder made of aluminum alloy is to be turned. The starting diameter = 400 mm, and the length = 1100 mm. Feed = 0.35 mm/rev and depth of cut=2.5 mm.The cut will be made with a cemented carbide tool =10 whose Taylor tool life parameters are: n =0.24 and C= 450.Units for the Taylor equation are min for tool life and m/min for cutting speed. Compute the cutting speed that will allow the tool life to be 10% longer than the machining time for this part.
If this lathe machine is 92% efficient, estimate the energy consumption.
Estimate the shear-strength (MPa of this material, if the chip thickness is measured to be 0.673mm.
