An Experimental Investigation on Surface Edge Quality of Carbon Steel during Face Milling

Abstract

Under various manufacturing process, machining process has its own newlinesignificance to generate a finished product with good surface finish, burr free edge newlineand dimensions in tight tolerance. Machining is a metal removal process, performed newlineto shape the final product by removing the material in the forms of chips. Face newlinemilling operation is commonly used operation in various industrial sectors such as newlineautomobile, aerospace, press tools and ship building etc. Burr formation on edge newlineduring face milling is a common phenomenon. Among all quality characteristics such newlineas surface finish, material removal rate; burr free edge is also a big challenge for newlinemachining sector. Machining parameters and machining strategies have a vital role in newlinemilling to attain the required quality characteristic. Under machining strategies, newlineconsideration of cutter offset and rolling direction has been emerged to improve the newlinemachinability. Cutter offset is the distance between the cutter rotational axis and the newlinecentral axis of work piece. It controls the area under conventional and climb milling newlineduring face milling operation which further affects the machinability. Furthermore, newlineconsideration of rolling direction also affects the performance of machining. newline newline
