Summary
The theory includes an analysis of cutting mechanism study the formation of chips dynamic cutting process and the associated stability assessment of cutting process. This subject includes the bases of integreated machining, too.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students will be familiarized with the theory of machining. This subject includes an analysis study of chip forming, of power ratios, of cutting process stability, of thermal effects, of the wear edge of tools, of durability, tool life of materials, and of the optimisation of cutting process.
Course Contents
1. Basic concepts, technological system, workpiece, tool, instrument geometry, process and cutting methods.
2. Mechanism and scheme of chip formation, stress and deformation conditions before cutting wedge, deformation in the cutting zone, types and classification of chips
3. Strength and cutting resistance of cutting, work and machining performance, calculation of cutting forces
4. Wear cutting edge wear, wear mechanisms and types, wear criteria, tool life and durability
5. Taylor\'s relationship, methods of detecting T-vc dependencies
6. Heat and cutting temperature, temperature field, heat dissipation, heat balance and machining demands
7. Stability of the cutting process, self, forced and self-induced oscillation
8. Machinability and cutting, distribution, long-term and short-term tests, obturation norms
9. Integrity of machined surface, dimensional and shape accuracy of the part, macro and microscopic surface assessment
10. Machined surface integrity, surface layer characteristics, surface roughness, residual stress on the machined surface, experimental assessment of machined surface
11. Optimization of cutting conditions 1. (according to machine performance and torque, with regard to the strength of the tool and chip formation, according to the precision and quality of the machined surface, according to machinability, cutting and environment
12. Optimization of cutting conditions 2. (areas of permissible solutions, procedure for determining optimal cutting conditions, calculation of optimum edge durability, view of maximum production and minimum cost, adaptive optimization)
13. Theory of high-speed machining
14. Reliability, diagnostics and monitoring of the cutting process
