← TechnologyWhich failure mode escalates with excessive spindle speed on a CNC lathe?
A)Chatter instability✓
B)Workpiece hardening
C)Oxidation weakening
D)Tool wear reduction
💡 Explanation
High spindle speed can cause chatter instability due to increased resonant frequency. This arises because self-excited vibrations resonate, accelerating tool wear and surface defects; therefore chatter gets worse, rather than workpiece hardening under correct parameters.
