An aluminium alloy component, is machined on a lathe. The lathe has a mechanical efficiency of 91%. The lathe performs a turning operation on the workpiece which has a diameter of 150 mm and a length of 400 mm. The shear strength of the aluminium alloy work piece is 230 MPa and the tensile strength is 420 MPa. To machine the component, the lathe operator uses a cemented carbide tipped tool, having a rake angle of 6°. Furthermore, the relevant processing parameters are selected from the relevant data provided in a handbook by the lathe tool supplier. Some of the data is reproduced in Tables 1 and 2. Table 1. Surface Cutting Speeds (m/min) Part Material Aluminium Brass Cast Iron Mild Steel Alloy High Speed Steel 75 18 120 28 Tool Material Cemented 180 100 220 170 Carbide Table 2. Typical recommended feeds for turning (mm/rev) Part Material Aluminium Brass Cast Iron Mild Steel Alloy High Speed 0.2 0.15 0.2 0.15 Tool Steel Material Cemented 0.3 0.25 0.4 0.25 Carbide The operator applies a depth of cut of 2.30 mm and the chip thickness measured after the cut was found to be 0.64 mm. a) Using the data provided above, suggest appropriate values for the cutting speed and feed that need to be used by the operator to satisfactorily turn the aluminium workpiece. State any rationale/assumptions made. b) Using the orthogonal cutting model as an approximation of the turning process, determine: the cutting force, and the gross power required to operate the machine tool. i. i.
