The Examination of Cutting Force as Function of Depth of Cut in Cases with Constant and Changing Chip Cross Section

摘要

For the achievement of highly productive and efficient manufacturing of flat surfaces, face milling is often the best choice in industrial practice. Process conditions should be selected with care in order to be able to reduce the machining time without increasing cutting forces excessively. For that reason, it is necessary to investigate the relationship between process parameters and cutting forces in various face milling cases. In the present study, various face milling experiments on steel workpieces are conducted in order to investigate the effect of depth of cut in cases with both constant and changing chip cross section values, with a view to determine its importance in face milling.
