A tube of $$32mm$$ outside diameter was turned on a lathe and the following data was obtained
Rake angle $$=35deg,$$
Feed rate $$=0.1mm/rev$$
Cutting force $$=2000N,$$
Cutting speed $$=15m/min$$
Length of continuous chip is one revolution $$=60mm$$

Feed force $$=800N.$$ Calculate the chip thickness, shear plane angle, velocity of chip along tool face and coefficient of friction.

Tool life testing on a lathe under dry cutting conditions gave $$'n'$$ and $$'C'$$ of Taylor tool life equation as $$0.12$$ and $$130$$ $$m/min,$$ respectively. When a coolant was used, $$'C'$$ increased by $$10\% $$. The increased tool life with the use of coolant at a cutting speed of $$90$$ $$m/min$$ is
A
$$47.4min$$
B
$$37.4min$$
C
$$27.4min$$
D
$$17.4min$$

The lives of two tools $$A$$ & $$B$$, governed by the equation $$V{T^{0.125}} = 2.5$$ and $$V{T^{0.25}} = 7$$ respectively in certain machining operation where $$V$$ is the cutting velocity in $$m/s$$ and $$T$$ is the tool life in sec. Find out the speed $$V$$ at which both the tools will have the same life.

Also calculate the corresponding tool life. If you have to machine at a cutting speed of $$1m/s$$, then which one of these tools will you choose in order to have less frequent tool changes?
