Effect of Shape of Cutting Edge on Face Milled Surface Topography

摘要

For improved machining efficiency, in addition to the increase in material removal performance, the operating conditions and the assurance of the roughness values specified by the manufacturers for the surface of the component must be considered. In this article the topography of surfaces created with the same cutting data is analyzed with different geometry inserts. It is shown how the 2D and 3D roughness parameters can be estimated in different cases. Then the theoretical (estimated) and actual values from cutting operations are inspected, and the differences between them are discussed. Finally, the different versions are ranked based on the smallest achievable roughness values, and it was found, that the round insert gives the lowest roughness values.
