Solutions
S1. Ans (b)
Sol. We generally use soluble oil for the machining of steel.
S2. Ans (d)
Sol. In orthogonal cutting, the direction of tool travel is perpendicular to the cutting edge and in oblique cutting, cutting edge is inclined by an angle with the direction of tool travel.
S3. Ans (c)
Sol. As high heat is produced during machining of Inconel and Haste alloy. So, tool material should be high heat resistant to avoid failure of tool tip due to thermal shock.
S4. Ans (c)
Sol. Angle between face and flank is known as Lip angle.

S5. Ans (c)
Sol. Lee and Shaffer analysis for machining states that
ϕ+ β- α=π/4
S6. Ans(b)
Sol. Hot hardness is the property of cutting tool that prevents plastic deformation at its cutting edge during machining process.
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. Ceramic has poor shock resistant. Apart from this, it has high wear resistance and again has very high stock removal rate.
S8. Ans.(c)
Sol. Carbides are used for these both reasons. But they are not used for comparatively small jobs
S9. Ans.(a)
Sol. The feed of a cutting tool in a lathe work is the distance the tool advances for each revolution of the work. Increased feed reduces the cutting time.
S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. (abc)/d – This is the right formula for metal removal rate. Here a is expressed in mm/minute, b is expressed in mm, c is expressed in mm/revolution and d is simply revolution.
