Engineering Formulas for Metalcutting

Maximize the productivity of cutting.  

• Linear regression equations for converting Rockwell, Vickers, Knoop, and Scleroscope hardness numbers into Brinell hardness numbers.
• Formulas and linear regression equations for calculating ultimate tensile strength of the most commonly used work materials in relationship with their hardness.
• Formulas for calculating the number of inserts simultaneously engaged with the workpiece depending on milling conditions.
• Formulas to calculate machining time when facing, cutoff, and deep grooving and for feed and radial forces in relationship with tangential force.
• Set of formulas to calculate overhang of boring bars made of tungsten heavy alloys and cemented carbides in comparison with a boring bar made of steel.
• Formulas for metal removal rate and for calculating tangential and axial forces.
• Establishes power constant values for most commonly used work materials.
