Cutting Theory

Тheoretical considerations of the cutting process and its phenomena, establishing the regularities of the process as a prerequisite for solving the problems of manufacturing engineering. Establishing the logic of theoretical modeling of the cutting process, systemic approach to problem solving, analysis of diverse aspects of viewing the problem and practical application of theoretical elaborations.

The student should acquire knowledge and develop skills needed for advanced critical and self-critical approach to cutting theory. Solving of concrete problems by using scientific methods and procedures.

Basics of the theory of cutting, Tool materials (Tool steels, hard metals,tool ceramics, СТМ ), Tool geometry and cutting layer elements ( chip thickness and width), Kinematics of cutting, Chip formation ( chip compression, deposits on the cutting edge, chip forms and quality of surface finish), Сutting forces (dinamometry, modeling and cutting strength), Heat and temperature in the cutting zone ( heat balance and measurement), Cutting tools wear, Cutting modes in machining by turning, drilling,milling, planing, grinding and broaching of contemporary construction materials.

Practical teaching involves laboratory work in Laboratory for machine tools and machining systems, and seminar work writing. Planned experiments are carried out in the Laboratory with finishing the reports. These reports are a part of the seminar work.

MSc degree, preferably in technical sciences

Laboratory machines: lathe, planer, radial drill, milling machine, Pfauter milling machine, grinding machine, machining centers, presses, robots, laboratory for FTS, machining processes and tools .
