- Q1: State the classification of Machining methods.Ans: Machining methods are classified as follows:
- ➔ Deformation method
- ➔ Deposition method
- ➔ Removal method
- Q2: Define the Deformation method.Ans: Deformation method involves shaping materials by applying force without removing any material, e.g., forging and rolling.
- Q3: Define the Deposition method.Ans: Deposition method involves adding material to create the desired shape, e.g., welding or 3D printing.
- Q4: Define the Removal method.Ans: Removal method involves cutting or removing excess material to achieve the desired shape, e.g., turning, milling, or drilling.
- Q5: Define Conventional Machining Method.Ans: Conventional machining uses mechanical means like cutting tools to remove material from a workpiece.
- Q6: Define Non-Conventional Machining Method.Ans: Non-Conventional machining uses advanced methods like electrical, chemical, or thermal processes to remove material.
- Q7: Define Ultrasonic Machining.Ans: Ultrasonic Machining removes material using high-frequency vibrations and abrasive slurry without heat.
- Q8: Define Abrasive Jet Machining.Ans: Abrasive Jet Machining removes material by a high-velocity stream of abrasive particles directed at the workpiece.
- Q9: Define Electrical Metal Removal process.Ans: Electrical Metal Removal (EMR) uses electrical energy, such as in EDM (Electrical Discharge Machining), to remove material.
- Q10: Define Mechanical Metal Removal process.Ans: Mechanical Metal Removal uses mechanical forces like cutting, shearing, or grinding to remove material.
- Q11: Define Thermal Metal Removal process.Ans: Thermal Metal Removal uses heat energy to melt or vaporize material, e.g., laser cutting or plasma machining.
- Q12: Define Chemical Metal Removal process.Ans: Chemical Metal Removal removes material through chemical reactions, e.g., chemical milling or etching.
- Q13: Define Cutting Feed.Ans: Cutting feed is the distance a cutting tool moves for each revolution of the workpiece.
- Q14: Define Spindle Feed.Ans: Spindle feed is the speed at which the workpiece rotates, usually measured in revolutions per minute (RPM).
- Q15: Define Finishing Allowance.Ans: Finishing allowance is the extra material left on a workpiece to ensure proper finishing during final machining.
- Q16: Name the factors affecting Finishing Allowance.Ans: The factors affecting Finishing Allowance are as follows:
- ➔ Type of material
- ➔ Accuracy required
- ➔ Machining method
- ➔ Surface finish desired
- Q17: Write the formula to convert feed rate per revolution to feed rate per mm.Ans: The formula is:
F = f × N
where:- F = Feed per minute
- f = Feed per revolution
- N = RPM (Revolutions per minute)
- Q18: Write the formula to calculate Cutting Power.Ans: The formula is:

- Q19: Write the formula to calculate Cutting Speed.Ans: The formula is:
