Chip Thickness Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Chip Thickness = Mass of Chip/(Length of Chip*Width of Chip*Density of Work Piece)
a_o = m_c/(l_c*a_w*ρ)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Chip Thickness - (Measured in Meter) - Chip Thickness is defined as the actual thickness of the chip after cutting.
Mass of Chip - (Measured in Kilogram) - Mass of Chip is the actual mass of the chip obtained.
Length of Chip - (Measured in Meter) - The Length of Chip is the actual length of the chip formed.
Width of Chip - (Measured in Meter) - The Width of Chip is the actual width of the chip formed.
Density of Work Piece - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Work Piece is the mass per unit volume ratio of the material of workpiece.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mass of Chip: 18.54562 Milligram --> 1.854562E-05 Kilogram (Check conversion here)
Length of Chip: 1.26 Millimeter --> 0.00126 Meter (Check conversion here)
Width of Chip: 2.5 Millimeter --> 0.0025 Meter (Check conversion here)
Density of Work Piece: 59469.68 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 59469.68 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

a_o = m_c/(l_c*a_w*ρ) --> 1.854562E-05/(0.00126*0.0025*59469.68)

Evaluating ... ...

a_o = 9.90000015587508E-05

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

9.90000015587508E-05 Meter -->0.0990000015587508 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.0990000015587508 ≈ 0.099 Millimeter <-- Chip Thickness

What is minimum chip thickness?

The definition of minimum chip thickness is the minimum undeformed chip thickness below which no chip can be formed stably. Due to this minimum chip thickness effect, the micro-/nano-cutting process is affected by two mechanisms: chip removal (h > hc) and plowing/rubbing (h < hc).

How to Calculate Chip Thickness?

Chip Thickness calculator uses Chip Thickness = Mass of Chip/(Length of Chip*Width of Chip*Density of Work Piece) to calculate the Chip Thickness, The chip thickness is a commonly used measure of material removal depth by the abrasive grains and is more closely related to the severity of forces on the grains than is the depth of cut. Chip Thickness is denoted by a_o symbol.

How to calculate Chip Thickness using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Chip Thickness, enter Mass of Chip (m_c), Length of Chip (l_c), Width of Chip (a_w) & Density of Work Piece (ρ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Chip Thickness calculation can be explained with given input values -> 99.98874 = 1.854562E-05/(0.00126*0.0025*59469.68).

FAQ

What is Chip Thickness?

The chip thickness is a commonly used measure of material removal depth by the abrasive grains and is more closely related to the severity of forces on the grains than is the depth of cut and is represented as a_o = m_c/(l_c*a_w*ρ) or Chip Thickness = Mass of Chip/(Length of Chip*Width of Chip*Density of Work Piece). Mass of Chip is the actual mass of the chip obtained, The Length of Chip is the actual length of the chip formed, The Width of Chip is the actual width of the chip formed & Density of Work Piece is the mass per unit volume ratio of the material of workpiece.

How to calculate Chip Thickness?

The chip thickness is a commonly used measure of material removal depth by the abrasive grains and is more closely related to the severity of forces on the grains than is the depth of cut is calculated using Chip Thickness = Mass of Chip/(Length of Chip*Width of Chip*Density of Work Piece). To calculate Chip Thickness, you need Mass of Chip (m_c), Length of Chip (l_c), Width of Chip (a_w) & Density of Work Piece (ρ). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Mass of Chip, Length of Chip, Width of Chip & Density of Work Piece and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.

How many ways are there to calculate Chip Thickness?

In this formula, Chip Thickness uses Mass of Chip, Length of Chip, Width of Chip & Density of Work Piece. We can use 2 other way(s) to calculate the same, which is/are as follows -

Chip Thickness = Length of Chip Tool Contact/Material Constant
Chip Thickness = Chip Breaker Distance-sqrt((Radius of Chip Curvature*2*Chip Breaker Height)-(Chip Breaker Height^2))
