Roundness and Cylindricity Verification of Cylindrical Workpieces of Magnesium Alloys Obtained by Intermittent Dry Machining

摘要

Magnesium is the lightest metal used in industry, above all for aerospace and automotive applications where weight reduction allows an improvement in the fuel efficiency and reducing CO~2 emission. In this work, an experimental study was carried out in order to determine with which machining process, turning or milling, are obtained cylindrical bars of magnesium alloy UNS M11917 by intermittent dry cut with improved roundness and cylindricity finish.
