Abstract
Estimating bore profile is important to select an appropriate tool for precision manufacturing in the process planning stage. Also, it helps in reducing the rejection rate of the process. A manufacturer might not be well-equipped and want to make their best with the resource on hand. Three-jaw chuck allows machining a wide range of workpiece, mostly circular parts in a lathe. However, clamping via a three-jaw chuck distorts the workpiece. In this study, the deformation of the bore profile was investigated numerically for circular parts. Finite element analyses were performed to examine dimensional variation for various materials and different wall thicknesses under fully elastic plane stress conditions. The stressed workpiece had a triangular form. Results showed that wall thickness and materials are important parameters on the triangulation of bore diameter. A simple calculation method based on thick-walled vessel theory was proposed to estimate the tolerance grade of the workpiece. This simple method provides the opportunity to reduce the rejection rate in the mass production of circular parts.
