Answer any two question from Q2 (b) or Q2 (c)
2 (b) A 300mm dia. bar is turned at 45rev/min with depth of cut of 2mm and feed of
0.3mm/rev. The forces measured at the cutting tool point are
Cutting force = 1850N Feed force = 450N
Calculate
(1) power consumption
(2) specific cutting energy.
7 M
2 (c) The following equation for tool life is given for a turning operation
V T0.13 f0.77 d0.37=C
A 60 min tool life was obtained while cutting at V = 30m/min, f = 0.3mm/rev and d = 2.5mm.
Determine the changes in tool-life if the cutting speed, feed and depth of cut are increased by 20% individually and also taken together.
