1. Overview of Lathe Machining
(l) Introduction to Lathe Machining
Lathe machining is an important component of mechanical processing, and it can be categorized into two main types: workpiece-fixed and tool-fixed. In the tool-fixed configuration, the cutting tool processes a raw, unshaped workpiece that rotates at high speed. In the workpiece-fixed configuration, the workpiece rotates at high speed while the cutting tool moves laterally and longitudinally to complete the machining process.
Lathes are primarily used to machine workpieces with rotary surfaces. Lathe machining is the most commonly used machining process in mechanical manufacturing plants and repair shops.
(2) Materials used in lathe machining
Free-cutting steel is the most commonly used material in lathe machining. This type of steel has a high content of sulfur and phosphorus. In free-cutting steel, sulfur and manganese exist in the form of manganese sulfide. During lathe machining, aluminum alloys are often used to machine manganese sulfide. Aluminum alloys have a much lower density than iron or steel, making them easier to machine on lathes. Moreover, aluminum alloys exhibit excellent ductility, resulting in lightweight finished products. The short machining time required for aluminum alloy parts also significantly reduces the cost of part fabrication. Consequently, aluminum alloys have found widespread application in mechanical processing, particularly in the aerospace industry.
(3) Advantages and Disadvantages of Lathe Machining
The entire machining process for the workpiece is smooth and does not generate any impact. When using a lathe to machine nonferrous metal parts with low hardness and good ductility, it is possible to ensure that the surface of the parts is exceptionally smooth. Lathes are very convenient to operate, and the angle of the cutting tool can be selected according to the requirements of the workpiece being machined. However, since the workpiece rotates around a fixed axis, it is difficult to guarantee high precision in machining all surfaces.
