PART-B
1. (i) The Tailorian tool life equation for machining C-40 steel with a 18:4:1
H.S.S cutting tool at a feed of 0.2 mm/ min and a depth of cut of 2 mm
is given by
VTn =C, where n and C are constants. The following V and T
observations have been noted
V1 m/min 25 35
T1 min 90 20
Calculate: (i) n and C (ii). Hence recommended the cutting speed
for desired tool life of 60 minutes. (8 marks)
