  2. Machinability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machinability

    Machinability is the ease with which a metal can be cut permitting the removal of the material with a satisfactory finish at low cost. [1] Materials with good machinability (free machining materials) require little power to cut, can be cut quickly, easily obtain a good finish, and do not cause significant wear on the tooling. Factors that ...

  3. Speeds and feeds - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speeds_and_feeds

    Note that a material with a machinability rating less than 100% would be more difficult to machine than B1112 and material and a value more than 100% would be easier. Machinability ratings can be used in conjunction with the Taylor tool life equation, VT n = C in order to determine cutting speeds or tool life. It is known that B1112 has a tool ...

  4. Surface feet per minute - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_feet_per_minute

    Its most common use is in the measurement of cutting speed (surface speed) in machining. It is a unit of velocity that describes how fast the cutting edge of the cutting tool travels. It correlates directly to the machinability of the workpiece material and the hardness of the cutting tool material.

  5. Grinding (abrasive cutting) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding_(abrasive_cutting)

    The abrasive wheel and the workpiece are rotated by separate motors and at different speeds. The table can be adjusted to produce tapers. The wheel head can be swiveled. The five types of cylindrical grinding are: outside diameter (OD) grinding, inside diameter (ID) grinding, plunge grinding, creep feed grinding, and centerless grinding. [2]

  6. Rockwell hardness test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockwell_hardness_test

    The equation for Rockwell hardness is =, where d is the depth in mm (from the zero load point), and N and h are scale factors that depend on the scale of the test being used (see following section). It is typically used in engineering and metallurgy. Its commercial popularity arises from its speed, reliability, robustness, resolution and small ...

  7. Nesting (process) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nesting_(process)

    Machining cannot take place where the raw material is clamped into place; Some machines can access only half of the material at a particular time; the machine automatically flips the sheet over to allow the remaining half to be accessed;

  8. Built up edge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Built_up_edge

    In machining, specifically cutting operations, a built-up edge (BUE) is an accumulation of material against the rake face that seizes to the tool tip, separating it from the chip. [ 1 ] Formation

  9. Machining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machining

    Machining is a manufacturing process where a desired shape or part is created using the controlled removal of material, most often metal, from a larger piece of raw material by cutting. Machining is a form of subtractive manufacturing , [ 1 ] which utilizes machine tools , in contrast to additive manufacturing (e.g. 3D printing ), which uses ...
