Machining ( 기계가공 )
Machining is the broad term used to describe a removal of material from a workpiece.

Cutting force ( 절삭력 )
Prof. Ahn, Sung-Hoon
Machined material (chip) has higher hardness than uncut material due to strain hardening (shear strain,
~20)
Vickers indentation test
Strain hardening
Prof. Ahn, Sung-Hoon Prof. Ahn, Sung-Hoon
Chip morphology ( 칩형상 ) (1)
Prof. Ahn, Sung-Hoon
Continuous chips (
연속형 칩)
High cutting speeds / high rake angles (secondary shear zone)
Good for tool life & surface finish (may need chip breaker)
Ductile materials with low coefficient of friction
Built-up Edge chips (BUE,
구성인선)
High friction coefficient – workpiece weld on the tool edge
Periodical separation of material bad surface
It can be reduced by increasing the cutting speed and the rake angle, decreasing the depth of cut, using a tool with a small tip radius and effective cutting fluid.
Chip morphology ( 칩형상 ) (2)
Serrated chips (
톱니형 칩)
Nonhomogeneous / segmented chips
Zones of low and high shear strain
Ti : sharp decrease of strength and thermal conductivity with increased temperature
Discontinuous chips (불연속 칩)
Brittle materials (ductile materials with high friction coefficient): Cast iron, bronze
Chatter, vibration

Material removal by milling
Cutting speed (m/min)
V = pDN
(D : diameter of cutter(m), N : rotational speed of the cutter(rpm))
Material Removal Rate (MRR)
MRR = WOC * DOC * f
f = feed rate (mm/min) = n * N * t
Example
V = 50 m/min, t = 0.1 mm/tooth, number of tooth (n)= 2,
D = 4 mm, DOC = 0.2, WOC = 3, Cutter RPM (N) = 50000/(πx4) = 3979
f = 2 *3979 * 0.1 = 796 mm/min, MRR = 3* 0.2 * 796 = 4776 mm

Cost structure of micro machining is different from that of macro machining.
Tool cost dominates
A tip is not exact edge in micro scale
