Assumptions(Orthogonal Cutting Model)

The cutting edge is a straight line extending perpendicular to the direction of motion, and it generates a plane surface as the work moves past it.

The tool is perfectly sharp (no contact along the clearance face).

The shearing surface is a plane extending upward from the cutting edge.

The chip does not flow to either side The depth of cut/chip thickness is constant uniform

relative velocity between work and tool Continuous chip, no built-up-edge (BUE)

Standard Terms

Beware, for turning: In the generalized orthogonal model depth of cut (to) is f (the feed), and width of cut (w) is d (the depth of cut)

Experimental Determination ofCutting Ratio

Shear angle may be obtained either from photo-micrographs or assume volume continuity (no chip density change):

Since t0w 0L0 = tcw cLc and w 0=w c (exp. evidence)

Force Normal to Shear plane Fn = Fcsin + Ftcos

Forces on the Cutting Tool

and the workpiece

Importance: Stiffness of tool holder, stiffness of machine, and stiffness of workpiece must be sufficient to avoid significant deflections (dimensional accuracy and surface finish)

Primary cause: Friction force of chip up rake face + Shearing force along shear plane

Cutting speed does not effect tool forces much (friction forces decrease slightly as velocity increases; static friction is the greatest)

The greater the depth of cut the greater the forces on the tool Using a coolant reduces the forces slightly but greatly

increases tool life

Stresses On the Shear plane:

Normal Stress = s = Normal Force / Area =Fn

AB w=

Fnsintow

Shear Stress = s = Shear Force / Area =Fs

AB w=

Fssintow

On the tool rake face: = Normal Force / Area = N

tc w(often assume tc = contact length)

= Shear Force / Area = Ftc w

Note: s = y = yield strength of the material in shear

Power

•Power (or energy consumed per unit time) is the product of force and velocity. Power at the cutting spindle:

•Power is dissipated mainly in the shear zone and on the rake face:

•Actual Motor Power requirements will depend on machine efficiency E (%):

Cutting Power Pc = FcV

Power for Shearing Ps = FsVs

Friction Power Pf = FVc

Motor Power Required =Pc

Material Removal Rate (MRR)

Material Removal Rate (MRR) = Volume RemovedTime

Volume Removed = Lwto

Time to move a distance L = L/V

Therefore, MRR =Lwto

L/V= Vwto

MRR = Cutting velocity x width of cut x depth of cut

Specific Cutting Energy(or Unit Power)

Specific Cutting EnergyDecomposition

1. Shear Energy/unit volume (Us)(required for deformation in shear zone)

2. Friction Energy/unit volume (Uf)(expended as chip slides along rake face)

3. Chip curl energy/unit volume (Uc)(expended in curling the chip)

4. Kinetic Energy/unit volume (Um)(required to accelerate chip)

Ut = Us + Uf +Uc +Um

Typical Orthogonal Model Violations

• Geometry and form Violations (i.e. non zero angles of inclination, not sharp - radiused end)

• Shear takes place over a volume (not a line or plane)

• Cutting is never a purely continuous process (cracks develop in chip; material not homogeneous)

• 'Size Effect' - larger stresses are required to produce deformation when the chip thickness is small (statistical probability of imperfection in the shear zone)

• BUE - some workpiece material 'welds' to the tool face (cyclic in nature)
