Week 9: Machining Processes: (Broaching & broaching machines, Press machine and operations)

Broaching

Broaching is a machining process for removal of a layer of material of desired width and depth usually in one stroke by a slender rod or bar type cutter
having a series of cutting edges with gradually increased protrusion.  In shaping, attaining full depth requires a number of strokes to remove the material in thin layers step – by – step by gradually infeeding the single point tool (Fig. 4.10.1).. Whereas, broaching enables remove the whole material in one stroke only by the gradually rising teeth of the cutter called broach. The amount of tooth rise between the successive teeth of the broach is equivalent to the infeed given in shaping
