Pakirappa Metal Cutting and Machine Tool Engineering: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners




Metal cutting and machine tool engineering are two important branches of mechanical engineering that deal with the processes of shaping, machining, and finishing metal parts using various tools and machines. Metal cutting involves the removal of unwanted material from a workpiece by means of cutting tools, such as drills, lathes, milling machines, etc. Machine tool engineering involves the design, development, operation, and maintenance of machine tools, such as CNC machines, robots, etc.


One of the most popular and comprehensive books on metal cutting and machine tool engineering is Pakirappa Metal Cutting and Machine Tool Engineering: A Comprehensive Guide for Beginners by Dr. S. Pakirappa. This book covers the fundamental concepts, principles, and applications of metal cutting and machine tool engineering in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. The book is divided into 12 chapters, each covering a specific topic related to metal cutting and machine tool engineering.

Chapter 2: Theory of Metal Cutting




This chapter explains the theoretical aspects of metal cutting, such as geometry of single-point and multi-point cutting tools, orthogonal and oblique cutting, mechanics of chip formation, shear angle, shear strain, shear stress, friction angle, friction coefficient, rake angle, clearance angle, cutting speed, feed rate, depth of cut, etc.


Chapter 3: Cutting Tool Materials




This chapter describes the properties and characteristics of various cutting tool materials, such as high carbon steel, high speed steel, cast alloys, cemented carbides, ceramics, cermets, diamond, cubic boron nitride (CBN), etc. The chapter also discusses the factors affecting the selection of cutting tool materials, such as cost, performance, availability, machinability, etc.


Chapter 4: Cutting Fluids




This chapter discusses the functions and types of cutting fluids used in metal cutting operations, such as cooling fluids (water-based), lubricating fluids (oil-based), extreme pressure fluids (sulfur-based), synthetic fluids (chemical-based), etc. The chapter also explains the methods of application and disposal of cutting fluids.


Chapter 5: Cutting Forces and Power Consumption




This chapter analyzes the forces acting on the cutting tool and the workpiece during metal cutting operations, such as tangential force (Ft), radial force (Fr), axial force (Fa), resultant force (R), thrust force (Fz), etc. The chapter also calculates the power consumption (P) during metal cutting operations using various formulas.


Chapter 6: Tool Wear and Tool Life




This chapter examines the causes and types of tool wear that occur during metal cutting operations, such as flank wear (VB), crater wear (KT), nose wear (RN), notch wear (VBn), chipping wear (CH), thermal wear (TH), etc. The chapter also estimates the tool life (T) using various empirical equations based on Taylor's tool life equation.


Chapter 7: Surface Finish and Machinability




This chapter evaluates the quality and accuracy of the machined surface using various parameters, such as surface roughness (Ra), surface waviness (Wt), surface lay (L), surface texture (T), etc. The chapter also assesses the ease and difficulty of machining a given material using various factors, such as material hardness (HRC), material strength (UTS), material ductility (%EL), material toughness (KIC), etc.
