Abstract- High speed face milling test were performed on two aluminum
silicon alloys currently used in automotive engine production to study
the effect of cutting parameters and tool geometry in edge quality.
Axial Rake and Radial Rake angles were varied to assess their effect
in burr formation, as well as cutting speed, feedrate and depth of cut.
Significant improvements in edge quality were obtained by optimizing
these geometrical and kinematical parameters.
Keywords: aluminum, silicon, face milling, burr, deburring, metal cutting,
radial, axial rake, lead, angle, speed, feed rate.
