436-344 Material Removal Processes 1

Credit Points:

7.1

Coordinator:

Assoc. Professor E. J. A. Armarego

Prerequisite/s:

436-241 Introduction to Manufacturing Processes or equivalent

Timetable:

Semester 2

Contact:

26 hours of lectures and 13 hours of tutorial and laboratory work

Objectives:

On completion students should:

  • have a basic understanding of the generation process, cutting action and engineering science phenomena involved in conventional material removal processes;

  • be able to develop cutting analyses for 'classical' and practical turning and drilling operations for tool design and performance prediction purposes.

Content:

Machining as a means of shaping components, chip formation and mechanics of cutting; turning and drilling operations, single point lathe tools and twist drills, prediction of force, torque power, chip flow and surface finish, computerised predictive models for machining processes; cutting fluid action and application. Non-traditional material removal processes.

Assessment:

A two-hour examination paper at the end of semester, a tutorial problem sheet, laboratory reports of up to 15 pages each.
