Metal Cutting Application Engineering (MCAE) Course

The Metalcutting Application Course is designed to provide a broad knowledge base for selecting and using metal cutting tools. This course is divided into four sections with each being covered by lecture, lab, and machine demonstrations.

1. Mechanics of Metal Cutting will cover tooling from a design perspective. This section starts with a discussion of How Tools Cut and progresses through the design elements related to turning, milling and drilling. All aspects of cutting geometry will be discussed along with its relationship to the cutting edge, workpiece material and power.
2. Materials Technology will start with a discussion of common cutting tool materials and how they relate to each other. A discussion of powder metal technology will start with how carbide is made and progress through modern carbide and ceramic grade technology. Coating technology will include common application methods as well as the latest advances in coating materials.
3. Selection and Application will introduce the tool path method of selecting and applying tooling. This section will be divided into three main operations: turning, milling and holemaking. Selection and application will include processing exercises to provide hands-on experience.
4. Machining Economics will cover elements that affect productivity and overall cost, such as establishing operating conditions to gain maximum efficiency; the cause-and-effect relationship between operating conditions and tool failure; machinability, testing methods and cost justification.
