Material removal rate Formula Elements

Variables
Metal Removal Rate
Metal Removal Rate(MRR) is the amount of material removed per time unit (usually per minute) when performing machining operations such as using a lathe or milling machine.
Symbol: Zw
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Empirical Constant
The Empirical constant is a self determined constant whose value is accessible from table of such constants. This constant is used to calculate the intrinsic carrier concentration.
Symbol: A0
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Abrasive Particles Number Impacting Per Unit Time
Abrasive Particles Number Impacting Per Unit Time is defined as the average number of particles impacting work surface to cut it during Abrasive Jet Machining.
Symbol: N
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Mean Diameter of Abrasive Particles
Mean diameter of Abrasive Particles is the mean calculated from sampling method.
Symbol: dmean
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Velocity
Velocity is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction) and is the rate of change of the position of an object with respect to time.
Symbol: V
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Density
The Density of a material shows the denseness of that material in a specific given area. This is taken as mass per unit volume of a given object.
Symbol: ρ
Measurement: DensityUnit: kg/m³
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Brinell Hardness
Brinell Hardness uses a hard, spherical indenter which is forced into the surface of the metal to be tested.
Symbol: hb
Measurement: PressureUnit: kgf/mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.

FAQs on Material removal rate

What is the formula to find Material removal rate?
The formula of Material removal rate is expressed as Metal Removal Rate = Empirical Constant*Abrasive Particles Number Impacting Per Unit Time*Mean Diameter of Abrasive Particles^3*Velocity^(3/2)*(Density/(12*Brinell Hardness))^(3/4). Here is an example- 0.16 = 100*5*0.004^3*1420686.92120444^(3/2)*(997/(12*1961329999.99986))^(3/4).
How to calculate Material removal rate?
With Empirical Constant (A0), Abrasive Particles Number Impacting Per Unit Time (N), Mean Diameter of Abrasive Particles (dmean), Velocity (V), Density (ρ) & Brinell Hardness (hb) we can find Material removal rate using the formula - Metal Removal Rate = Empirical Constant*Abrasive Particles Number Impacting Per Unit Time*Mean Diameter of Abrasive Particles^3*Velocity^(3/2)*(Density/(12*Brinell Hardness))^(3/4).
Can the Material removal rate be negative?
No, the Material removal rate, measured in Volumetric Flow Rate cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Material removal rate?
Material removal rate is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second[m³/s] for Volumetric Flow Rate. Cubic Meter per Day[m³/s], Cubic Meter per Hour[m³/s], Cubic Meter per Minute[m³/s] are the few other units in which Material removal rate can be measured.
