Open questionPINAT2 marksNeeds review
During straight turning of a 20 mm diameter steel bar at a spindle speed of 400 revolutions per minute (RPM) with an HSS tool, a tool life of 10 minute was observed. When the same bar was turned at 200 RPM, the tool life increased to 40 minute. The tool life (in minute) while machining the bar at 300 RPM is____________. [round off to nearest integer]
