← TechnologyWhich dimensional outcome occurs when cutting hardened steel with a lathe tool experiencing chatter?
A)Surface finish becomes irregularly wavy✓
B)Material hardness increases rapidly
C)Tool wear reduces exponentially
D)Internal stress becomes globally uniform
💡 Explanation
Chatter creates forced vibrations, leading to self-excited oscillations known as Regenerative Chatter, which affects surface finish. The wavy results appear because the tool's instability causes uneven material removal, and vibrations dominate, therefore producing poor surfaces rather than hardness changes or uniform stresses.
