The formula to calculate Chamfer Diameter (CD) is:
\[ CD = D - 2C \]
Where:
The chamfer diameter is the final diameter of a cylindrical object after a chamfer has been made to its edge. A chamfer is a beveled edge that connects two surfaces, typically at a 45-degree angle. In the context of cylindrical objects, the chamfer reduces the diameter of the object at the edge, making it easier to insert into other components, reducing stress concentrations, or improving aesthetics. The chamfer diameter is important in manufacturing and engineering design, as it ensures proper fit and function of machined parts.
Let's consider an example:
Using the formula to calculate Chamfer Diameter:
\[ CD = 50 - 2 \times 3 = 50 - 6 = 44 \, \text{mm} \]
This means that the chamfer diameter after applying a chamfer size of 3 mm to a cylinder with an original diameter of 50 mm would be 44 mm.
