List major cutting parameters and cutting condition and describe how they affect the machining economics of a metal removal process for mass-produced part.
(a) Cutting parameters
(1) Cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. (2) Tool material, (3) Tool geometry, (4) Cutting fluid, (5) Characteristics of the machine tool, (6) work holding and fixturing, (7) Temperature, (8) Tool wear
the total machining cost per piece, Cp , is given by
CTotal = CMachining + Cs+ CNPC + Ctooling (or C = C1+ C2+C3 +C4) Where: CTotal: Total cost CMachining : Machining cost Cs : (Tool-change cost)- Cost of setting up for machining- including mounting the cutter, setting up fixture, and preparing the machine tool for the operation CNPC: (Nonproductive cost) -Cost of loading, unloading, and machine handling Ctooling : Tooling cost, often only about 5% of the total cutting operation.
