Explain why continuous chips are not necessarily desirable.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Explain why continuous chips are not necessarily desirable.

Explanation of Solution

In computer-controlled machine tools, continuous chips are not preferred. This is because they can get tangled around the tool holder, fixture or even the workpiece. It can also get tangled into the chip disposal system. To clear these chips, it is possible that the operation may be needed to halted.

This problem can be resolved if we use chip breakers. The cutting speed can be changed, or the feed, depth of cut can be varied. It can also be solved by using cutting fluids.

Explain why the mechanical properties of workpiece materials are not significant in most of the processes described in Nontraditional Machining Processes.
44.  In Orthogonal Cutting Model, why chip thickness after cut is greater than chip thickness before cut?   explain.
A motorised metal guillotine machine is required to cut 45 mm diameter hole in a plate of 20 mm thickness at rate of 35 holes per minute. It requires a torque of 7 Nm for an area of hole in mm2. If the cutting takes 1/10 of a second and the speed of its flywheel varies from 165 rpm to 145 rpm, calculate:
