How to Calculate and Solve for Energy Required for Metal Cutting | Metal Forming processes
Last Updated on April 29, 2024
The image above represents energy required for metal cutting. To calculate energy required for metal cutting, two essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Cutting Force (Fc) and Work Piece Velocity (v).
The formula for calculating energy required for metal cutting:
E = Fc.v
Where:
E = Energy Required for Metal Cutting
Fc = Cutting Force
v = Work Piece Velocity
Let’s solve an example;
Find the energy required for metal cutting when the cutting force is 44 and the work piece velocity is 20.
This implies that;
Fc = Cutting Force = 44
v = Work Piece Velocity = 20
That is, E = Fc.v
E = 44 x 20
E = 880
Therefore, the energy required for metal cutting is 880 J.
Calculating for the Cutting Force when the Energy Required for Metal Cutting and the Work Piece Velocity are Given
Fc = E / v
Where;
Fc = Cutting Force
E = Energy Required for Metal Cutting
v = Work Piece Velocity
Let’s solve an example;
Find the cutting force when the energy required for metal cutting is 38 and the work piece velocity is 14.
This implies that;
E = Energy Required for Metal Cutting = 38
v = Work Piece Velocity = 14
Fc = E / v
So, Fc = 38 / 14
Fc = 2.71
Therefore, the cutting force is 2.71.

Calculating the Work Piece Velocity when the Energy Required for Metal Cutting and the Cutting Force are Given
v = E / Fc
Where;
v = Work Piece Velocity
E = Energy Required for Metal Cutting
Fc = Cutting Force
Let’s solve an example;
Find the work piece velocity when the energy required for metal cutting is 64 and the cutting force is 8.
This implies that;
E = Energy Required for Metal Cutting = 64
Fc = Cutting Force = 8
v = E / Fc
That is, v = 64 / 8
v = 8
Therefore, the work piece velocity is 8 J.
