0 0 votes Two cutting tools are being compared for a machining operation. The tool life equations are: $\begin{array}{ll} \text{Carbide tool:} & VT^{1.6} = 3000 \\ \text{HSS tool:} & VT^{0.6} = 200 \end{array}$ where $V$ is the cutting speed in $m/min$ and $T$ is the tool life in $min$. The carbide tool will provide higher tool life if the cutting speed in $m/min$ exceeds $15.0$ $39.4$ $49.3$ $60.0$ Materials, Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering gateme-2013 materials-manufacturing-and-industrial-engineering machining-and-machine-tool-operation tool-life-and-wear + – piyag476 339 views answer comment Share Follow Add Sync Questions 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
