Machining Material Removal Processes
Turning process ( )
Introduction
Turning ( )
The part is rotated while it is being machined.
The starting material is generally a workpiece that has been made by other
processes, such as casting, forging, extrusion, drawing, or powder metallurgy.
Turning processes, which typically are carried out on a lathe.
Turning operations
Turning: to produce straight, conical, curved, or grooved workpieces
workpieces, such as shafts, spindles,
and pins
Facing: to produce a flat surface at the end of the part and perpendicular to its axis
Cutting with form tools: to produce various axisymmetric shapes for functional or for aesthetic
purposes
Boring: to enlarge a hole or cylindrical cavity made by a previous process or to produce
circular internal grooves
Drilling: to produce a hole, which then may be followed by boring it to improve its dimensional
accuracy and surface finish
Parting: also called cutting off, to remove a piece from the end of a part, as is done in the
production of slugs or blanks for additional processing into discrete products Threading: to
produce external or internal threads
Knurling: to produce a regularly shaped roughness on cylindrical surfaces, as in making
knobs and handles

their shape, and the processing parameters are described throughout this chapter.

Material-removal Rate (MRR)
( )
The volume of material removed per
unit time [mm3/min]
Turning Process
Forces in Turning
Fc: cutting force
downward on the tool tip, energy required for cutting
Ft: thrust force (also called feed force)
push the tool toward the right and
away from the chuck
Fr: radial force
push the tool away from
the workpiece

the conical surfaces of the collet are forced inward by pulling it with a draw bar into the sleeve. (c) A push-out type of collet.

Lathe and Lathe Operations
Computer-numerical-control (CNC) Lathe ( )
FIGURE 23.11 (a) A computer-numerical-control lathe; note the two turrets. These machines have higher power and
spindle speed than other lathes in order to take advantage of new cutting tools with enhanced properties. (b) A typical
turret equipped with 10 tools, some of which are powered.
Design Considerations and Guidelines
Design guidelines
Parts should be designed so that they can be fixtured and clamped easily into work
work-holding
devices.
The dimensional accuracy and surface finish specified should be as wide as permissible, but
the part must still function properly.
Sharp corners, tapers, steps, and major dimensional variations in the part should be avoided.
Blanks to be machined should be as close to final dimensions as possible, such as by near
near-
net-shape
shape forming, so as to reduce production cycle time.
Parts should be designed so that cutting tools can travel across the workpiece without any
obstruction.
Design features should be such that commercially available standard cutting tools, inserts,
and toolholders can be used.
Workpiece materials should preferably be selected for their machinability.
Operation guidelines
Minimize tool overhang
Support the workpiece rigidly
Use machine tools with high stiffness and high damping capacity
When tools begin to vibrate and chatter (Section 25.4), modify one or more of the process
parameters, such as tool geometry, cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, and cutting fluid
