Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering

Direction: A cylinder is turned on a lathe with orthogonal machining principle. Spindle rotates at 200 rpm. The axial feed rate is 0.25 mm per revolution. Depth of cut is 0.4 mm. The rake angle is 10°. In the analysis it is found that the shear angle is 27.75°.

  1. The thickness of the produced chip is
    1. 0.511 mm
    2. 0.528 mm
    3. 0.818 mm
    4. 0.846 mm
Correct Option: A

Given, rake angle, α = 10º
shear angle, φ = 27.75
depth of cut, t1 = 0.4 mm
Let t2 = thickness of chip produced

Now,  
t1
=
sinφ
t2cos(φ − α)

⇒  t2 =
t1cos(φ − α)
sinφ

=
0.4cos(27.75 − 10)
sin(27.75)

=
0.4 cos 17.75
= 0.818 mm
sin 27.75
