How to get feed rate of machining components for different material

To get the feed rate for machining components (like turning, milling, drilling, etc.) for different materials, you need to consider several key factors. Here's a breakdown of how to determine it: ✅ What Is Feed Rate? Feed rate (F) is the distance the cutting tool or workpiece moves per unit of time or per revolution. Measured in mm/rev (for turning) or mm/min (for milling/drilling). It depends on: Material type Cutting tool material Operation type Machine capability Desired surface finish 🧮 Basic Feed Rate Formula For milling: Feed rate (mm/min) = Feed per tooth (fz) × Number of teeth (z) × Spindle speed (N) For turning: Feed rate (mm/rev) = Given directly based on material and tool Feed rate (mm/min) = Feed per rev (f) × Spindle speed (N) 📊 Typical Feed per Tooth (fz) for Milling (Approximate): Material Tool Type Feed per tooth (mm/tooth) Aluminum Carbide 0.05 – 0.15 Mild Steel HSS/Carbide 0.04 – 0.1 Stainless Steel Carbide 0.02 – 0.08 Cast Iron Carbide 0.05 – 0.12 Titanium Carbide 0.02 – 0.06
