First, use the table to find the optimal chip load corresponding to softwood and 1/2″ tool diameter, which is around 0.022″.

Therefore, it is important to ensure optimal chip load to produce high-quality machining results with maximum tool life.

In this example, we can reduce the feed rate by replacing 3-flute with a 2-flute cutting tool and setting the chip load to minimum of the recommended value in the table, which is 0.021″.

Now that we’ve gone through some of the physical properties of nickel alloys, let’s take a closer look at their chemical properties:

The table below shows the optimal chip load for different materials and cutting tool diameters when the depth of cut is equal to the diameter of the tool.

Similarly, hard materials are difficult to machine, and increasing the chip thickness can result in tool wear, therefore hard materials have a lower value of optimal chip load.

However, as mentioned before, if the depth of cut is increased to around twice or thrice the tool diameter, the values in the table should be decreased by about 25% and 50%, respectively.

Therefore, from the optimal chip load table, we can identify the optimal tool diameter (3/8″) for aluminum corresponding to 0.008″ chip load.

You can either use the chip load formula or a chip load calculator to calculate the chip load value for your setup and then compare it with the optimal chip load value for a similar setup.

According to the above equation, the chip load varies directly with the feed rate in inches per minute (IPM) and inversely with RPM and the number of flutes of the cutting tool.

You can further reduce the optimal feed rate by reducing the RPM to 8,000, but it must be noted that reducing the RPM too low can degrade the quality of the cut.

Chip load is defined as the thickness of the chips removed during a machining operation. Chip Load = Feed Rate (inches per minute) / (RPM x number of flutes). Setting machining parameters to ensure optimal chip load improves machining quality and prolongs tool life.

To further reduce the feed rate, you can use a cutting tool with a smaller diameter (such as 1/8″ 2-flute tool), which reduces the optimal chip load (to around 0.004″), thereby reducing the optimal feed rate (to around 64 ipm).

When performing machining operations, it is important to ensure the calculated chip load for your setup lies in the corresponding range of optimal chip load from this table.

No, the chip thickness is not necessarily equal to the depth of cut. For a cutting tool with multiple flutes, the number of chips produced per revolution is equal to the number of flutes, as a result, the chip thickness, for a particular depth of cut, decreases with an increase in the number of flutes.

As a result, the chip load is equally distributed among the flutes of the cutting tool, thereby reducing the chip load on individual flutes.

Optimal chip load determines the maximum feed per tooth while ensuring minimum tool wear. Cutting hard material requires a stronger shear force and hence when cutting through the same thickness of the workpiece, hard materials exert a greater load on the cutting edge, compared to softer materials. Therefore, to minimize tool wear, hard materials have a comparatively lower value of optimal feed per tooth.

However, as the depth of cut increases, the chip load on the tool increases, and therefore the value of optimal chip load, for a particular feed, speed, and flute configuration, decreases.

However, maintaining an extremely slow feed rate will increase the cycle time and also affect the tool life by increasing the dwell time.

Generally, soft materials shear off easily under the action of the cutting tool. Hence, they have a higher value of optimal chip load.

Shallow depth of cut at high RPM can result in rubbing of the tool against the workpiece and generating a lot of heat to damage the workpiece and the tool.

Not all metals can be mixed with nickel, but some of the most common elements are iron, chromium, aluminum, molybdenum, copper, cobalt, and titanium. To make nickel alloys, you’d have to follow the same process used for pretty much every other metal alloy. The alloying elements need to be decided on, and their ratios need to be carefully chosen. Once that’s done, the elements are all melted together in something like an arc furnace, which also purifies them, and then the alloy is cast into ingots, and off to be formed using either cold or hot processing.

For example, when using a 1/2″ 3-flute cutting tool for machining 3/8″ softwood on a CNC machine operating at 10,000 RPM, you can calculate the optimal feed with the help of chip load.

If a metal contains nickel as one of its primary elements, it’s classified as a nickel alloy. Some types of nickel alloys are even classed as “superalloys” because, if you compare them to other metals, their oxidation and creep resistance is off the charts and allows them to be used at temperatures of over half their melting points. Although not all superalloys are nickel alloys, the vast majority of them are nickel-based. Here’s an image of a nickel alloy in use:

Generally, it is recommended to maintain a low feed rate for finishing cuts, whereas high feed rates are used during roughing cuts.

This load drastically affects the tool’s life, and if the load exceeds a certain limit, it can even lead to breaking the tool.

The resistance offered by the material against the shearing action of the tool results in the development of load on the cutting edge.

This article will provide a detailed guide on chip load along with steps to calculate the optimal chip load for your operation.

Thicker chips dissipate heat readily, thereby preventing overheating and minimizing the need for cutting fluid, whereas thin chips fail to do so.

Their high melting points can make them difficult to weld, but it’s not impossible. If you want to create a sufficient pool of weld metal, you’ll need more heat, but if you use more heat, there’s more chance of residual stress which can deform the component. Basically, it needs a lot of care. When in long-term contact with the skin, some nickel alloys can cause an allergic reaction. That’s why they’re probably not the best choice for wearables and medical devices. Also, when exposed to the elements, some nickel alloys (especially copper-based) will tarnish over time.

Although shallow cuts will eliminate the risk of snapping the tool, the rubbing action of the cutting edge against the workpiece can result in work-hardening of the cutting edge, and eventually losing its sharpness.

Chip load during a machining process is primarily dependent upon factors such as speed, feed, and the number of flutes of the cutting tool.

In this table, we break down and compare the physical properties associated with some of the most common types of nickel alloys:

It’s believed that the first nickel alloy was used in 200 BCE in China. That’s the earliest record available, and the material was referred to as “white copper,” which experts believe was an alloy of nickel and silver. Fast forward to 1751, A. F. Cronstedt, a German scientist, managed to isolate nickel from the niccolite mineral. Copper and zinc were often found in these first nickel alloys, which came to be known as “German silver” and weren’t really used for anything other than ornaments.

Generally, it is recommended that, for a depth of cut equal to twice the tool diameter, the optimal chip load should be decreased by around 25%.

However, it also depends upon other factors like depth of cut, type of material, machining capability of the CNC machine, etc.

By the rule of thumb, the higher the spindle speed lower will be the chip load. This is because higher RPM results in a high inertial force, which thereby facilitates an easy chip removal.

Generally, most manufacturers provide an approximate value of optimal chip load in terms of the percentage of the tool diameter or a chip load table for their product. This approximate value provides a reference point and you can slightly vary the parameters during the test runs to find the best suitable setting for your application.

It’s generally quite hard to differentiate nickel alloys from other types of metals. Nickel alloys can seem slightly dull when their surface is rough, but when it’s smooth, they can be shiny and reflective. Here’s an example of what copper-nickel alloy rods look like:

Nickel alloys are typically reserved for high-performance applications because they tend to be more expensive than other types of metal. As we’ve seen, nickel alloys are usually strong and tough, and that can make them a pain to machine. If you’re interested in machining this type of alloy, you’ll probably need extra tools.

Nickel alloys, also known as high-performance alloys, are metals that contain some nickel in their elemental makeup to improve some of their properties and make them better suited for applications outside their typical wheelhouse. Let’s look at everything to do with nickel alloys, including where they’re used, the different types, and their characteristics and physical properties.

This means that the higher the feed rate, the higher will be the chip load and therefore, the lower will be the quality of the cut.

This can be understood from the fact that a single flute cutting tool produces one chip per revolution, whereas a 3-flute cutting tool produces three chips per revolution.

A beginner-level CNC machine cannot handle such high feed rates, and therefore these parameters need to be updated to match your machine’s capabilities.

However, the amount of material removal per revolution remains the same, provided the tool diameter and other machining parameters are similar.
