← TechnologyWhich effect occurs on a lathe when stick-slip friction exceeds the material's shear strength?
A)Surface finish becomes non-uniform✓
B)Thermal expansion decreases accuracy
C)Cutting tool instantly softens
D)Material displays increased plasticity
💡 Explanation
A non-uniform surface finish arises because stick-slip friction causes the cutting tool to intermittently grab and release the material. The resulting chatter marks diminish surface quality. Therefore, finish suffers rather than the tool softening instantaneously as materials have different responses.
