PART III. Calculation Problems (35 pts)
State all your assumptions and put UNITS. Underline your answer.
sprocket
Q7 [10 pts] In an effort to reduce the weight of the sprocket/shaft
assembly, it is proposed that an integrated design could be
manufactured by cold forging (upsetting) an aluminum shaft (shown
in the upper view) to form the finished shaft and sprocket blank
(shown in the lower diagram) followed by machining of the sprocket teeth in the
enlarged disc.
The lower view shows a cross section of the forging (upsetting) dies and the
upset shaft. The dimensions of the workpiece are as follows:
Initial length: 180 mm
Initial diameter: 20 mm
The enlarged disc should have a final
diameter of 40 mm and a thickness of
8 mm. The proposed workpiece is the
Aluminum alloy with = n ; K = 205 MPa
and n = 0.2. The following question
assumes that the process proposed is
viable.
Side view

a. How far do the dies need to move (in mm) during a complete loading stroke?
b. What is the true strain imposed upon the workpiece?
c. What is the flow stress at the end of the deformation?
d. What force would be required to complete the deformation?

Q8 [10 pts] An orthogonal turning operation is being carried out under the
following conditions: feed = 0.1 mm/rev, width of cut = 5 mm, deformed chip
thickness = 0.1 mm, cutting speed = 60 m/min, rake angle = 20o, tangential force
= 300 N, and friction angle is = 40o. Calculate the percentage of the total energy
that is dissipated in the shear plane during cutting.
Q9 [7 pts] In a stretch forming, a thin sheet metal, whose thickness is 3 mm, the
width of 2 m and the length of 3 m, is stretched with a force F until the angle is
300 as shown in the figure below. The material has a true stress-true strain
where the metal has a strength coefficient of 965 MPa and a strain-hardening
exponent of 0.14 (1045 hot rolled steel). Find the work done if frictional and
redundant work contributes to 30%.

Q10 [8 pts] In plain milling (see the following figure) the tool diameter is D = 120
mm, and wheel rotation speed is N = 100 rpm. The width to be cut is w = 60 mm,
the length of the workpiece to be cut is L = 500 mm. The thickness of the surface
layer to be removed is d = 3 mm. The tool feeding speed of V = 0.6 m/min is
relative to the workpiece, and the cutter has 10 inserts. The workpiece material is
a high strength aluminum alloy with the unit power of cut as 1.1 W-s/mm3.
