98: Orthogonal cutting of mild steel has the given data: cutting speed = 35m/min, depth of cut = 0.25mm, tool rake angle = 10°, chip
thickness = 0.8mm, cutting force = 925N, thrust force = 475 N. Using Merchant analysis, find the friction angle(approximately).
A 10°
B 27°
C 37°
D 48°
Ans: C
99: A batch of 10 cutting tools could produce 500 components while working at 50 rpm with a tool feed of 0.25 mm/rev. and depth
of cut =1mm. A similar batch of 10 tools of the same specifications could produce 122 components while working at 80 rpm with
a feed of 0.25 mm/rev and 1mm depth of cut. How many components can be produced with one cutting tool at 60 rpm? (consider
closest option).
A 29
