In an orthogonal cutting test on the following data were obtained
Uncut chip thickness $$=0.25mm,$$ Cutting speed: $$60m/min,$$ Tool rake angle: $$0$$ Chip thickness $$0.75mm,$$ Cutting force : $$900$$ $$N$$, Thrust force : $$450$$ $$N$$

Calculate the shear angle, total power in making the cut and coefficient of friction between the chip tool interface.

The cutting tool are being tried for an operation. Tailors tool life equation for them are as follows
$$\eqalign{ & HSS\,\,tool\,:\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,V{T^{0.1}} = 200 \cr & Carbide\,\,tool\,:\,\,\,\,\,\,\,V{T^{0.35}} = 500 \cr} $$
Find out the break even speed above which the carbide tool will be economical.

During orthogonal turning of a steel rod by zero rake tool at feed $$0.25mm/rev$$ and depth of cut $$2.0mm,$$ the following observations were obtained. Tangential component of cutting force $$=1000N$$, Axial component of cutting force $$=500N,$$ chip thickness $$=1.0mm,$$ with the help of diagram determine the yield shear strength of work material under the given cutting conditions.

In a turning operation the tool life of the carbide tool was found to be $$20min$$ and $$100min,$$ at cutting speeds of $$120m/min$$ and $$80m/min$$ respectively. What will be the tool life of the tool under same condition but at a cutting speed of $$100m/min.$$
