    By increasing the cutting speed, heat dissipation is increased so maximum temperature is decreased. Hence coefficient of friction is decreased.

    Correct Option: D

    By increasing the cutting speed, heat dissipation is increased so maximum temperature is decreased. Hence coefficient of friction is decreased.


  1. During orthogonal cutting of MS with a 10 deg rake angle tool, the chip thickness ratio was obtained as 0.4. The shear angle (in degrees) evaluated from this data is

    tanφ =
    rcosα
    1 - rsinα

    where, r = 0.4 and α = 10°
    ∴ tanφ =
    0.4cos10°
    1 - 0.4sin10°

    or φ = 22.94°

    Correct Option: C

    tanφ =
    rcosα
    1 - rsinα

    where, r = 0.4 and α = 10°
    ∴ tanφ =
    0.4cos10°
    1 - 0.4sin10°

    or φ = 22.94°

  1. What is the approximate% change in the life, f, of the tool with zero rake angle used in orthogonal cutting when its clearance angle, α, is changed from 10 to 7 deg?
    (Hint: Flank wear rate is proportional to cotα)

    Wear rate is proportional to tanγ, i.e. Wear rate ∝ tanγ
    Where, γ = Clearance angle
    When clearance angle is decreased from 10° to 7°, then

    percentage change in f =
    tan10° - tan7°
    × 100 = 30.37% decrease.
    tan10°

    Correct Option: B

    Wear rate is proportional to tanγ, i.e. Wear rate ∝ tanγ
    Where, γ = Clearance angle
    When clearance angle is decreased from 10° to 7°, then

    percentage change in f =
    tan10° - tan7°
    × 100 = 30.37% decrease.
    tan10°



  1. In orthogonal machining operation, the chip thickness and the uncut chip thickness are equal to 0.45 mm. If the tool rake and is 0 deg. The shear plane angle is

    r =
    Uncut chip thickness
    =
    0.45
    = 1
    Chip thickness after the metal is cut0.45

    If α = shear plane angle and α = rake angle = 0°
    then tanφ =
    rcosα
    =
    1 × cos0
    = 1 or φ = 45°
    1 - rsinα1 - 1.sin0°

    Correct Option: A

    r =
    Uncut chip thickness
    =
    0.45
    = 1
    Chip thickness after the metal is cut0.45

    If α = shear plane angle and α = rake angle = 0°
    then tanφ =
