Answer: a) 3mm

b) 5400mm^3/min

c) 4000000chips/min

Explanation:

Wheel diameter (D) = 150mm

Infeed (W) = 0.06mm

Wheel speed (V) = 1600m/min

Work speed (Vw) = 0.3m/s

Cross feed (d) = 5mm

Number of active grits per area of wheel surface = 50grits/cm^2

Average length per chip (Lc) = ?

Metal removal rate (Rmr) = ?

Number of chips formed per unit time (nc) = ?

a) Lc = (Dd) ^0.5

Lc = (150*0.06) ^0.5

Lc=3mm

b) Rmr=VwWd

Rmr = (0.3m/s) * (10^3mm/m) * (5mm) * (0.06mm)

Rmr=5400mm^3/min

c) nc=VWc

nc = (1600m/min) (10^3) (5mm) (50grits/cm^2) (10^-2)

nc=4,000,000chips/min.
