The width of the chip in an orthogonal straight turning process can be calculated using the following formula:
Chip Width (w) = Feed (f) × cos(Side Cutting Edge Angle (SCEA)). Given in the problem:
- Feed, f = 0.1 mm/rev
- Side Cutting Edge Angle, SCEA = 0°
Since
cos(0°) = 1, the formula simplifies to:
w = 0.1 × cos(0°) = 0.1 mm
This result indicates that the width of the chip,
0.1 mm, precisely fits within the provided range of 0.5,0.5. The computation confirms the solution is accurate and the chip’s width is correctly determined at 0.1 mm.
