Description
This process refers to the production activity of removing 1 kg of steel through machining. Rough turning primarily removes the majority of the material allowance from the surface of the workpiece, typically without stringent requirements on product dimensions or surface roughness; thus, the cutting depth and feed rate should be selected as large as possible within allowable limits. If the weight of steel removed during the rough turning process is not specified, an average assumption of "0.276 kg of steel scrap generated per 1 kg of final product" can be used. The data are derived from the production processes of bearings, rolls, gear shafts, flanges, pump heads, couplings, and other electromechanical equipment attachments.
Activity Description
This dataset includes steel material inputs, direct electricity consumption of machinery, water consumption, and steel waste removed through machining processes, which is typically collected and reused.
Process Description
This process refers to the production activity of removing 1kg of steel through a turning operation. Rough turning primarily removes the majority of the material allowance from the workpiece surface. It generally has low requirements for product dimensions and surface roughness, and the cutting depth and feed rate should be set as large as possible within permissible limits. If the weight of steel removed during the rough turning process is not specified, an average assumption of "0.276 kg of steel scrap generated per 1 kg of final product" may be used.

Technology comment
Turning is a machining technique in which the workpiece is fixed on the machine tool and driven by an electric motor to rotate at high speed, while the cutting tool fixed on the spindle moves across the surface of the workpiece for material removal. Throughout the process, only the workpiece rotates, while the cutting tool remains non-rotating.
