Abstract
Due to
rapid growth and competitiveness of the automobile industry, reduction
in total machining time has become a basic necessity and many industries
are switching to high speed machining. This study presents the results
of tests done with a high speed face-milling machine tool at Daimler-Chrysler,
Germany. Experiments were performed on four different materials for
various combinations of tool geometries (rake and lead angles) and cutting
parameters (speed, feed rate and depth of cut). A substantial amount
of experimental data was collected regarding the burr formation and
surface roughness for aluminum and magnesium alloys. A software tool
for theoretical exit order sequence (EOS) prediction was also developed
in JAVA for verifying the experimental results.
Keywords:
Aluminum, burr formation, exit order sequence, high-speed face milling,
magnesium.
