JENIS-JENIS PAHAT MESIN BUBUT

JENIS-JENIS PAHAT MESIN BUBUT

Beragam bentuk benda kerja yang ingin kita buat di mesin bubut menuntut kita untuk mempersiapkan bentuk-bentuk pahat bubut yang umum dipakai. Gambar berikut menjelaskan bentuk pahat bubut dan
bentuk benda kerja yang di hasilkan. Bagian pahat yang bertanda bintang adalah pahat kanan,artinya melakukan pemakanan dari kanan ke kiri.

Berdasarkan bentuknya,pahat bubut diatas dari kiri ke kanan adalah:

a. pahat rata kiri

b. pahat alur

c. pahat pinggul/champer kanan

d. pahat alur lebar

e. pahat bentuk(radius)

f. pahat ulir segiempat

g. pahat ulir segitiga

h. pahat rata kanan

i. pahat rata kiri(facing)

Berdasarkan bahan pembuatnya, ada dua macam pahat bubut yang umum dipakai,yaitu :

Pahat High Speed Steel (HSS)

Dalam Bahasa Indonesia bisa jadi baja berkecepatan tinggi. Tapi apa sih sebenarnya HSS itu?

High speed steel (HSS or HS) is a subset of tool steels, usually used in tool bits and cutting tools. It is often used in power saw blades and drill bits. It is superior to the older high carbon steel tools used extensively through the 1940s in that it can withstand higher temperatures without losing its temper (hardness). This property allows HSS to cut faster than high carbon steel, hence the name high speed steel. At room temperature, in their generally recommended heat treatment, HSS grades generally display high hardness (above HRC60) and a high abrasion resistance (generally linked to tungsten content often used in HSS) compared to common carbon and tool steels.

The main use of high speed steels continues to be in the manufacture of various cutting tools: drills, taps, milling cutters, tool bits, gear cutters, saw blades, etc., although usage for punches and dies is increasing.

High speed steels also found a market in fine hand tools where their relatively good toughness at high hardness, coupled with high abrasion resistance and fine, made them suitable for low speed applications requiring a durable keen (sharp) edge, such as files, chisels, hand plane blades, and high quality kitchen, pocket knives, and swords.

 Pahat Carbide 

Tungsten carbide (WC) is an inorganic chemical compound containing equal parts of tungsten and carbon atoms. Colloquially, tungsten carbide is often simply called carbide. In its most basic form, it is a fine gray powder, but it can be pressed and formed into shapes for use in industrial machinery, tools, abrasives, as well as jewelry. Tungsten carbide is approximately three times stiffer than steel, with a Young's modulus of approximately 550 GPa, and is much denser than steel or titanium. It is comparable with corundum (α-Al2O3) or sapphire in hardness and can only be polished and finished with abrasives of superior hardness such as silicon carbide, cubic boron nitride and diamond amongst others, in the form of powder, wheels, and compounds.
