Influence of the Feed Rate on the Workpiece Surface in Face Milling
Authors: ,
Abstract: Because of the diversity of cutting processes, the created tools imprints on the surfaces – which affect the formation of the topography – can take many forms. Besides this, roughness values of machined surfaces are different along the path of the cutting edge and when measured at different directions of the surface of the workpiece at face milling due to the special movement of the tool, therefore the knowledge of and the ability to plan the roughness characteristics of the surface are extremely important. Here, topography of face milled surface is studied with theoretical and experimental methods. The investigations covered the determination of 2D and 3D theoretical values of roughness indexes using a method developed by the authors, and the completion of cutting experiments and analysis of roughness of the obtained machined surfaces. The results obtained by modeling were compared with measurement data from the machined surfaces. In this publication, results of surface analysis when cutting with one and two circular inserts are introduced. The tests were performed by varying the value of the feed per tooth (fz) and the effect of the increase of fz on surface roughness characteristics (topography) were analyzed.
