Question

A 1 mm thick cylindrical tube, 100 mm in diameter, is orthogonally turned such that the entire wall thickness of the tube is cut in a single pass. The axial feed of the tool is 1 m/minute and the specific cutting energy (u) of the tube material is 6 J/mm3 . Neglect contribution of feed force towards power. The power required to carry out this operation is _________ kW (round off to one decimal place).

Show Answer

Answer :

Correct answer is : 31.416

specific energy U = 6 J/mm3, axial feed = 1 m/min = 1000/60 mm/sec

tube thickness t = 1mm, diameter = 100 mm

Area of cut = πdt = 3.14 × 100 × 1 = 314 mm2

Material removal rate = axial feed × area removed

MRR = 314 × 1000/60 mm3/s

Power = energy × MRR

Power = 6 × 314 × 1000/60 = 31400 J/s

P = 31.4 kW
