Analysis of Cutting Forces during Dry Turning Processes of UNS A92024-T3 Aluminium Bars

摘要

In the aeronautical and aerospace industries there is a great demand of materials with high resistance and low weight such as the aluminium alloys for the production of different elements that conforms the airships and aerospace vehicles. In this work, an experimental study was carried out in order to analyse the influence of the cutting parameters (feed rate, cutting speed and type of tool) on the forces generated during dry turning tests of UNS A92024-T3 aluminium bars. The main influents factors on the forces were the feed rate and the interaction between type of tool and the spindle speed.
