Evaluation NC Lathe H H S S J (For Automation) Steel, Stainless Steel, Stainless Steel, Cast iron (very low Cast iron, General Lathe H S S S〜J H steel steel (Low speed) speed, very small feed rate) Carbon (For Safety) Influence Factor Easy Work deformation Difficult Good: C type, D type Large Rake angle Small {Poor A type: Twines around the tool or workpiece, damages the machined Small D.O.C. Large surface and affects safety. Fast Cutting speed Slow B type: Causes problems in the automatic chip conveyor and chipping occurs easily. E type: Causes spraying of chips, poor machined surface due to chattering, chipping, large cutting force and high temperatures. ■ Factor of Improvement Chip Control (1) Increase Feed Rate (f) Depth of Cut (mm) 4.0 t11 t22 f1 f2 2.0 f‥‥f2>f1 then t2>t1 When feed rate increases, chips 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 become thick and chip control improves. Feed Rate (mm/rev) (2) Decrease Side Cutting Edge (θ ) θ:1 θ:2 Side Cutting Edge Angle 45° t1 t2 f f :‥‥:2<:1 then t2>t1 Even if feed rate is the same, smaller 15° side cutting edge angle makes chips thick and chip control improves. 0.2 0.25 0.3 0.35 Feed Rate (mm/rev) (3) Decrease Nose Radius (R E ) t11 t22 1. 6 RE1 RE2 Large Small nose radius nose radius Nose Radius (mm) f f N RE‥‥RE2<RE1 then t2>t1 0.8 Even if feed rate is the same, a smaller References Technical Guidance / nose radius makes chip thick and chip control improves. * Cutting force increases in proportion with 0.4 the length of the contact surface. Therefore, a larger nose radius increases back force which induces chattering. With the same 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 feed rate, a smaller nose radius produces a Depth of Cut (mm) rougher surface finish. N13
