How to Calculate and Solve for Metal Removal Rate (for Cylinderical Workpieceturning in a Lathe) | Metal Forming processes

The image above represents metal removal rate. To calculate metal removal rate (for Cylinderical Workpieceturning in a Lathe), two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Initial Diameter (D₁), Final Diameter (D₂), Cutting Force (Normal) (N) and Cutting Force (F).

The formula for calculating metal removal rate:

MRR = ^π / ₄ (D₁² – D₂²)F.N

Where:

MRR = Metal Removal Rate (for Cylinderical Workpiece turning in a Lathe)
D₁ = Initial Diameter
D₂ = Final Diameter
F = Cutting Force
N = Cutting Force (Normal)

Let’s solve an example;
With an initial diameter of 22, a final diameter of 18, a cutting force of 32 and a cutting force of 12. Find the metal removal rate?

This implies that;

D₁ = Initial Diameter = 22
D₂ = Final Diameter = 18
F = Cutting Force = 32
N = Cutting Force (Normal) = 12

MRR = ^π / ₄ (D₁² – D₂²)F.N
MRR = ^π / ₄ (22² – 18²) x 12 x 32
So, MRR = 0.78 x (484 – 324) x 384
MRR = 0.78 x 160 x 384
MRR = 48254.8

Therefore, the metal removal rate is 48254.8.
