TECHNICAL DATA Flank Wear (inch)Flank Wear (inch) TECHNICAL DATA EFFECTS OF CUTTING CONDITIONS FOR TURNING y FEED In cutting with a general holder, feed is the distance a holder moves per work material revolution. In milling, feed is the distance a machine table moves per cutter revolution divided by number of inserts. Thus, it is indicated as feed per tooth. Feed rate relates to finished surface roughness. a Effects of Feed 1. Decreasing feed rate results in flank wear and shortens tool life. 2. Increasing feed rate increases cutting temperature and flank wear. However, effects on the tool life is minimal compared to cutting speed. 3. Increasing feed rate improves machining efficiency. Feed (IPR) Cutting Conditions Work Material : AISI 4340 Grade : P10 Insert : 0-0-5-5-35-35-0.3 mm Depth of Cut ap=.040 inch Cutting Speed vc=660 SFM Cutting Time Tc=10 min Feed and Flank Wear Relationship in Steel Turning y DEPTH OF CUT Depth of cut is determined according to the required stock removal, shape of work material, power and rigidity of the machine and tool rigidity. aEffects of Depth of Cut 1. Changing depth of cut doesn't affect tool life greatly. 2. Small depths of cut result in friction when cutting the hardened layer of a work material. Thus tool life is shortened. 3. When cutting uncut or cast iron surfaces, the depth of Depth of Cut (inch) Cutting Conditions Work Material : AISI 4340 Grade : P10 cut needs to be increased as much as the machine Insert : 0-0-5-5-35-35-0.3 mm power allows to avoid cutting impure hard layer with the Feed f=.008 IPR Cutting Speed vc=660 SFM Cutting Time Tc=10 min tip of cutting edge which prevents chipping and abnormal wear.
