Technology

Which outcome occurs when a CNC lathe's tool path oscillates excessively during high-speed machining of Inconel?

A)Chatter marks appear on surface
B)Increased material hardness results
C)The tool experiences thermal softening
D)Reduced residual stress develops quickly

💡 Explanation

Chatter marks appear because excessive tool path oscillation triggers self-excited vibrations through the regenerative effect mechanism, as the tool re-cuts a wavy surface resulting in resonance; therefore, surface finish degrades, rather than material property alterations or consistent tool wear.
