Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering

Direction: Orthogonal turning is performed on a cylindrical workpiece with shear strength of 250 MPa. The following conditions are used: cutting velocity is 180 m/min, feed is 0.20 mm/rev, depth of cut is 3 mm, chip thickness ratio = 0.5. The orthogonal rake angle is 7°. Apply Merchants theory for analysis.

  1. The shear plane angle (in degrees) and the shear force respectively are
    1. 52; 320 N
    2. 52; 400 N
    3. 28; 400 N
    4. 28; 320 N
Correct Option: D

tanφ=
rcosα
=
0.5 × cos7°
= 0.503
1 − rsinα1 − 0.5sin7°

φ = 28°
Now, shear force = shear stress × area
F = 250 × AB width of cut

∴  AB =
AC
=
0.2
= 0.43
sin28°sin28°

where AC is incut chip thickness
Now width ≌ depth of cut = 3 mm
F = 250 × 0.43 ×3
≌ 320 N
