7.5 Credits
First Cycle
To Syllabus

Starts week 3, 2024

Knowledge and Understanding
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

  • explain the central concepts in the field of production technology, including the areas of casting, forming processing, cutting processing, chip-cutting processing, methods for processing complex geometries and methods for creating fine and functional surfaces
  • describe of the most commonly occurring tool materials in the area of
    cutting processing
  • explain the interaction between work material and tools in the cutting zone and the mechanical stresses on the cutting edge in connection with cutting processing.

Skills and abilities
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

  • explain and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the different production technical processing methods
  • prepare a product for cutting and manufacturing, that is to say select operation(s), cutting parameters, tools, cutting fluid, etc.
  • estimate cutting forces and power requirements in connection with cutting processing
  • estimate how the cutting data affects the wear of the tool and how this wear
    affects cutting forces, chip formation and surface finish (surface quality).

Evaluation ability and approach
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

  • analyse the effect of the various processing steps in the process chain from a technical, financial and sustainability perspective
  • discuss and reflect on the choice of cutting parameters to achieve high machining economy and quality in the field of cutting machining.
