6. What is tool signature ? And what are the different systems of specifying tool geometry? • In simple words The numerical code that describes all the key angles of a given cutting tool is called tool signature • Convenient way to specify tool angles by use of standardized abbreviated system is known as tool signature or tool nomenclature. The tool signature comprises of seven elements and is specified in different systems .

7. Systems of description of tool geometry • Tool-in-Hand System • Machine Reference System - ASA system • Tool Reference Systems • Orthogonal Rake System - ORS • Normal Rake System - NRS • Work Reference System - WRS

11. πR= Reference plane; plane perpendicular to the velocity vector • πX= Machine longitudinal plane; plane perpendicular to πRand taken in the direction of assumed longitudinal feed • πY= Machine Transverse plane; plane perpendicular to both πRand πX[This plane is taken in the direction of assumed cross feed] • The axes Xm, Ymand Zmare in the direction of longitudinal feed, cross feed and cutting velocity (vector) respectively.

12. The main geometrical features and angles of single point tools in ASA systems

13. Definition • Rake angles • γx= side (axial rake: angle of inclination of the rake surface from the reference plane (πR) and measured on Machine Ref. Plane, πX. • γy= back rake: angle of inclination of the rake surface from the reference plane and measured on Machine Transverse plane, πY. • Clearance angles: • αx= side relief angle: angle of inclination of the principal flank from the machined surface and measured on πXplane. • αy= End relief angle: same as αxbut measured on πYplane. • Cutting angles: • φe= side cutting edge angle: angle between the principal cutting edge (its projection on πR) and πYand measured on πR • φe= end cutting edge angle: angle between the end cutting edge (its projection on πR) from πXand measured on πR • Nose radius, r (in inch) • r = nose radius : curvature of the tool tip. It provides strengthening of the tool nose and better surface finish.

14. Tool signature According to ASA system • Tool signature : γy-γx- αy- αx- φe- φe-r • Tool signature : 8 -14 - 6 – 6 - 6 – 15 -1/8 • This system does not indicate the behaviour of tool in actual practice. • Hence actual cutting condition include the side cutting edge OR principle cutting edge.

23. Cutting-Tool Materials • Toolbits generally made of seven materials • High-speed steel • Cast alloys (such as stellite) • Cemented carbides • Ceramics • Cermets • Cubic Boron Nitride • Polycrystalline Diamond

24. Cutting Tool Properties • Hardness • Cutting tool material must be 1 1/2 times harder than the material it is being used to machine. • Capable of maintaining a red hardness during machining operation • Red hardness: ability of cutting tool to maintain sharp cutting edge • Also referred to as hot hardness or hot strength

25. Cutting Tool Properties • Wear Resistance • Able to maintain sharpened edge throughout the cutting operation • Same as abrasive resistance • Shock Resistance • Able to take the cutting loads and forces • Shape and Configuration • Must be available for use in different sizes and shapes.

26. High-Speed Steel • Highly alloyed tool steel capable of maintaining hardness at elevated temperatures better than high carbon and low alloy steels • May contain combinations of tungsten, chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, cobalt • Can take heavy cuts, withstand shock and maintain sharp cutting edge under red heat • Especially suited to applications involving complicated tool geometries, such as drills, taps, milling cutters, and broaches • Generally two types (general purpose) • Molybdenum-base (Group M) • Tungsten-base (Group T) • Cobalt added if more red hardness desired • Typical composition: Grade T1: 18% W, 4% Cr, 1% V, and 0.9% C

28. Cemented Carbides • Class of hard tool material based on tungsten carbide (WC) using powder metallurgy techniques with cobalt (Co) as the binder • Two basic types: 1. Non-steel cutting grades - only WC-Co 2. Steel cutting grades - TiC and TaC added to WC-Co

29. Cemented Carbides -General Properties • High compressive strength but low-to-moderate tensile strength •High hardness (90 to 95 HRA) •Good hot hardness •Good wear resistance •High thermal conductivity •Toughness lower than high speed steel

30. Non-steel Cutting Carbide Grades • Used for nonferrous metals and gray cast iron •Properties determined by grain size and cobalt content • As grain size increases, hardness and hot hardness decrease, but toughness increases • As cobalt content increases, toughness improves at the expense of hardness and wear resistance

31. Steel Cutting Carbide Grades • Used for low carbon, stainless, and other alloy steels • For these grades, TiC and/or TaC are substituted for some of the WC • Titanium carbide • Addition provides resistance to tool cratering • Content increased • Toughness of tool decreased • Abrasive wear resistance at cutting edge lowered • Tantalum carbide • Addition provides resistance to tool cratering • Without affecting abrasive wear resistance • Addition increases tool's resistance to deformation

32. Cermets • Combinations of TiC, TiN, and titanium carbonitride (TiCN), with nickel and/or molybdenum as binders. •Some chemistries are more complex •Applications: high speed finishing and semi finishing of steels, stainless steels, and cast irons • Higher speeds and lower feeds than steel-cutting carbide grades • Better finish achieved, often eliminating need for grinding

33. Coated Carbides • Cemented carbide insert coated with one or more thin layers of wear resistant materials, such as TiC, TiN, and/or Al2O3 •Coating applied by chemical vapor deposition or • physical vapor deposition •Coating thickness (0.0001 to 0.0005 in) • Applications: • cast irons and steels in turning and milling operations • Best applied at high speeds where dynamic force and thermal shock are minimal

34. Ceramics • Primarily fine-grained Al 2O 3, pressed and sintered at high pressures and temperatures into insert form with no binder •Applications: high speed turning of cast iron and steel •Not recommended for heavy interrupted cuts (e.g. rough milling) due to low toughness •Al 2O 3 also widely used as an abrasive in grinding

35. Synthetic Diamonds • Sintered polycrystalline diamond (SPD) - fabricated by sintering very fine-grained diamond crystals under high temperatures and pressures into desired shape with little or no binder •Usually applied as coating (0.5 mm thick) on WC-Co insert •Applications: high speed machining of nonferrous metals and abrasive nonmetals such as fiberglass, graphite, and wood • Not for steel cutting

36. Cubic Boron Nitride • cubic boron nitride (cBN) is hardest material •Fabrication into cutting tool inserts same as SPD: coatings on WC-Co inserts •Applications: machining steel and nickel-based alloys •SPD and cBN tools are expensive

37. What is orthogonal cutting and oblique cutting ? List the assumptions in calculating cutting force? Orthogonal cutting In orthogonal cutting the tool approaches the work piece with its cutting edge parallel to the uncut surface and at right angle to the direction of cutting. Thus tool approach angle and cutting edge inclination are zero. Here only two component forces are acting cutting force Fc and thrust force Ft. So the metal cutting may be considered as 2 Dimensional cutting. work tool feed

38. Oblique cutting • The cutting edge is inclined at an angle i (known as inclination angle ) with the normal to the direction of tool travel . The cutting edge may are may not clear the width of the work piece. • The chip flow on tool face making an angle with the normal on the cutting edge. The chip flows side ways in a long curl. • Three components of the forces (mutually perpendicular act at the cutting edge). • Oblique cutting occur when the major edge of the cutting tool is presented to the work piece at an angle which is not perpendicular to the direction of feed.

39. Assumptions in calculating the cutting forces: -

40. Establish a relation between three velocities in orthogonal cutting ? Vc=Chip velocity Vs =Shear velocity V= cutting velocity Φ=Shear angle =Rake angle α

41. The cutting velocity V:it is the velocity of the tool relative to the work and directed parallel to Fh. The chip velocity Vc: it is the velocity of the chip relative to the tool and directed along the tool face. The shear velocity Vs: it is the velocity of the chip relative to the work piece and directed along the shear plane. With the help of sine rule we can write V = Vs = Vc Sin (90+α-Φ) Sin (90-α) Sin Φ Chip velocity Vc = V sin f Cos (Φ-α) Shear velocity Vs = V Cos a Cos (Φ-α)

42. Derive an expression for the shear angle in orthogonal cutting In terms of rake angle and chip thickness ratio? The out ward flow of the metal causes the chip to be thicker after separation from the parent metal. Metal prior to being cut Is much longer than the chip which is removed. The chip thickness ratio or cutting ratio is the ratio of uncut chip thickness to the cut chip thickness. When metal is cut there is no change in volume of the metal cut therefore t1*b1*L1 = t2*b2*L2 where t1 & t2 are chip thickness before and after cutting L1 &L2 are length of chip before and after cut. b1 & b2 are width of cut before and after cut it is observed that b1 = b2

44. There fore t1 * L1 = t2 * L2 t1 = L2 = r t2 L1 From the triangle ABC BC = Sin f But BC =t1 AB AB = t1 ------ (1) Sin f From the triangle ABD BD = Sin 90-(f-a) AB But Sin 90-(f-a) =cos (f-a) And BD= t2 AB= t2 ----- (2) Cos (f-a) From (1) and(2) t1 = Sin f = r t2 Cos (f-a)

45. r = Sin f Cos f . Cos a + Sin f Sin a r Cos a = 1 – r Sin a Tan f Tan f = r Cos a • 1- r Sin a • There fore shear angle can be shown from the above equation
