Self-excited chatter is a basic performance limitation in the machining of metals. Self-excited chatter was investigated both experimenttally and theoretically in the present research. An experimental lathe was constructed so as to obtain orthogonal one degree of freedom cutting. An experimental method developed by Brockley and Ko which enables the recording of a phase plane diagram and the force-velocity curve of one cycle of vibration was used. Experiments were carried out on 70-30 lead free brass workpiece disc with a high speed steel tool at surface speeds ranging from 2 in/sec to 20 in/sec. The results revealed that the force-velocity curve was 'loop' shaped. The chatter vibration was quasi-harmonic and the growth and decay of vibration amplitude with variation in surface speed was observed. Frictional quasi-harmonic vibration was observed to occur in the same speed range which suggested the concept that metal-cutting chatter could be friction actuated. The experimental force-velocity curve was employed in a graphical construction of the phase plane representation of the vibration. The constructed phase plane was in close agreement with the experimental recording. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Mechanical Engineering, Department of / Graduate
