This lecture delves into the analysis of cutting power and energy in machining processes, focusing on shearing and friction powers. It covers the breakdown of cutting power into shear and friction components, interpretation of power expenditure, and calculation under Merchant's law. The lecture also explores the relationship between speed, cutting force, and power requirements, emphasizing the specific cutting energy and its impact on material removal rates.
