Investigation on the effects of machining parameters in end Milling process using aisi 304 steel With solid carbide tools

Abstract

End milling is a type of peripheral milling which is the most newlinefrequent operation in metal cutting industry It is employed for making newlineprofiles slots engraves contours and pockets in various components newlineEnd mill cutter generates two workpiece surfaces at the same time one at newlinethe end face and another at periphery of the cutter body newlineThe proper selection of machining conditions spindle speed newlinefeed rate and depth of cut etc and cutting tool geometry helix angle rake newlineangle relief angle and nose radius etc has an impact on machining newlineperformance Improper selection of machining parameters and poor design newlineof cutting tool affects the performance of machining It deteriorates surface newlinefinish increases cutting forces affects stability causes thermal newlinedeformation and also results in rapid wear newlineSurface roughness is an important parameter in milling which newlinedecides how the workpiece components interact with its assembled parts newlineRough surface tends to exhibit greater wear and a higher coefficient of newlinefriction when compared to smooth surface newline newline
