Negative rake angle while the tool leading edge is ahead or beyond the perpendicular of the material to be cut. These inserts are usually double sided resulting in cutting edges on both sides of the insert.
Positive rake inserts Angled according to the second picture. These inserts result in lower cutting forces, which reduces the risk of vibration and gives a better surface smoothness.
The low force enables the machining slender parts. Skip to main content. Positive and negative rake angle in turning. The term positive and negative rake inserts refers to the angle between the cutting edge relative to the machined surface.
Neutral rake inserts 3. Test the quiz General sponsored by. Blind rivet nuts. Drill thread milling cutter. Consequently uncut chip plastically deforms to produce chip and then flows over the rake surface before leaving machining zone. Shear deformation also increases thickness of the chip from its uncut value.
This increment is measured by one coefficient, called Chip Reduction Coefficient CRC , which is defined as the ratio of chip thickness to uncut chip thickness. CRC is always greater than 1; however, lower value is always desirable. Cutter with negative rake deforms the chip to a great extent resulting higher chip thickness and higher CRC.
However, cutter with positive rake allows smooth flow of chip over rake surface that ultimately results in comparatively lower shear deformation and lower CRC. However, in no case CRC can be lower than 1, unless the cutting is in micro-scale or nano-scale. Cutting force and power consumption: The lower the cutting power consumed during machining a particular material, the better will be the machining performance. Although force and power depend on many factors, rake angle also has meagre influence.
Due to lower shear deformation and lower CRC with positive rake, cutting force required for removing a particular area of material is much lower than that with a cutter having negative rake when all other machining conditions remain unaltered. Machinability aspect: Machinability is the indication of how easily a work material can be machined using a particular cutting tool under specified conditions.
It cannot be reliably measured quantitatively; can only be judged qualitatively based on other parameters including shear deformation, CRC, cutting force and power, cutting temperature, chip form and color, BUE formation tendency, machined surface condition, etc. Overall, a positive rake tends to offer better machinability.
Strength of cutting edge and chip load: A negative rake emerges better in this case as it comes with thicker wedge. Increased wedge thickness improves strength of cutting edge and thus it can sustain higher load without failure. Thinner wedge, associated with positive rake, may break if chip load increases above certain limit; and as a result, larger volume of material cannot be removed in a single pass lower material removal rate or productivity.
Too much clearance angle cause the breaking of the lip of drill due to insufficient support. Clearance angle should be kept minimum in order to provide enough strength and rigidity to cutting edge.
If the angle formed by the leading edge and the surface to be cut its tangent is obtuse, the rake angle is said to be positive or cutting. If the angle formed by the leading edge and the surface to be cut is acute, the rake angle is said to be negative or scraping. High cutting temperature also makes such tool vulnerable under plastic deformation.
Therefore, cutting tool with positive rake angle is beneficial where the workpiece material is ductile and soft as well as when continuous chip formation is desirable.
Rake angle is a cutting edge angle that has large effects on cutting resistance, chip disposal, cutting temperature and tool life. Negative rake angles generally: Increasing the strength of the cutting edge. The tool is more blunt. Increases the cutting force. The back rake angle affects the ability of the tool to shear the work material and form the chip which naturally curves into the work due to the difference in length from the outer and inner parts of the cut.
It can be positive or negative. Furthermore, when the rake angle is negative, the cutting force decreases rapidly with increasing rake angle. Rake angle indicates orientation of rake surface of the cutting tool. Clearance angle indicates inclination of flank surface of the cutting tool. A cutter may have positive, negative or zero rake angle. Rake angle influences the extent of shear deformation of chip and also determines chip flow direction.
