L 1.1 Metal Cutting
Metal Cutting and Tool Design (MCTD) subject is the combination of two subjects, first is Metal Cutting and second is Tool Design.
First, we start with Metal cutting.
- Metal cutting is a material removal process in which a sharp cutting tool is used to mechanically cut away material so that the desired part geometry remains.
- Most common application: to shape metal parts.
- Machining is the most versatile and accurate of all manufacturing processes in its capability to produce a diversity of part geometries and geometric features’
- Machining Processes – Turning, Boring, Milling, Drilling, Shaping, Planing, Broaching, etc.
- Casting can also produce a variety of shapes, but it lacks the precision and accuracy of machining
