High speed milling is a newly developed advanced manufacturing technology. Surface integrity is an important object of machined parts. Surface roughness is mostly used to evaluate to the surface integrity. A theoretical surface roughness model for high face milling was established. The influence of cutting parameters on the surface roughness is analyzed. The surface roughness decreases when the cutter radius increases, total number of tooth and rotation angular speed, while it increases with the feeding velocity. The high speed face milling can get a smooth surface and it can replace the grinding with higher efficiency.

Hard milling is considered to be a precise and efficient machining method for the die and mold manufacturing industry. The main criterion for evaluating the cutting processes of the parts designed for these applications is the quality of the machined surfaces. For this reason, the analysis of the factors that influence the surface roughness obtained in this processes is important for helping the process become more productive and competitive. The present paper presents some results and an empirical model for surface roughness when high speeds face milling of AISI W1 tool steel. The influence of cutting parameters and material hardness is investigated by using Taguchi design of experiments. The results obtained show that high speed face milling of hardened tool steel AISI W1 can be carried out in economical conditions(on plant milling machines) and can lead to satisfactory surface quality (Ra =0.2-0.36 μm).

High speed machining of the corner of hardened steel mould has a great influence to the entire product performance of the mould. In this paper, with the single factor experiments, the influence of feed per tooth, cutting speed and angle of the corner to the cutting forces, the vibration value and the surface roughness were analyzed. And the cutting parameters were optimized. The cutting forces, vibration value and surface roughness value of the corner of the mould reached the minimum value when the cutting speed was 80 m/min and the feed per tooth was 0.006 mm/z in the experiment. The surface quality of corner with angle of 90o was better than the corner with angle of 60o and 120o with various milling parameters.

Abstract Optimization of the end milling process is a combinatorial task due to the involvement of a large number of process variables and performance characteristics. Process-specific numerical models or mathematical functions are required for the evaluation of parametric combinations in order to improve the quality of the machined parts and machining time. This problem could be categorized as the offline data-driven optimization problem. For such problems, the surrogate or predictive models are useful, which could be employed to approximate the objective functions for the optimization algorithms. This paper presents a data-driven surrogate-assisted optimizer to model the end mill cutting of aluminum alloy on a desktop milling machine. To facilitate that, material removal rate (MRR), surface roughness (Ra), and cutting forces are considered as the functions of tool diameter, spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. The principal methodology is developed using a Bayesian regularized neural network (surrogate) and a beetle antennae search algorithm (optimizer) to perform the process optimization. The relationships among the process responses are studied using Kohonen’s self-organizing map. The proposed methodology is successfully compared with three different optimization techniques and shown to outperform them with improvements of 40.98% for MRR and 10.56% for Ra. The proposed surrogate-assisted optimization method is prompt and efficient in handling the offline machining data. Finally, the validation has been done using the experimental end milling cutting carried out on aluminum alloy to measure the surface roughness, material removal rate, and cutting forces using dynamometer for the optimal cutting parameters on desktop milling center. From the estimated surface roughness value of 0.4651 μm, the optimal cutting parameters have given a maximum material removal rate of 44.027 mm3/s with less amplitude of cutting force on the workpiece. The obtained test results show that more optimal surface quality and material removal can be achieved with the optimal set of parameters.

Magnesium alloy is a material with a high strength to weight ratio and is suitable for various applications such as in automotive, aerospace, electronics, industrial, biomedical and sports. Most end products require a mirror-like finish, therefore, this paper will present how a mirror-like finishing can be achieved using a high speed face milling that is equivalent to the manual polishing process. The high speed cutting regime for magnesium alloy was studied at the range of 900-1400 m/min, and the feed rate for finishing at 0.03-0.09 mm/tooth. The surface roughness found for this range of cutting parameters were between 0.061-0.133 µm, which is less than the 0.5µm that can be obtained by manual polishing. Furthermore, from the S/N ratio plots, the optimum cutting condition for the surface roughness can be achieved at a cutting speed of 1100 m/min, feed rate 0.03 mm/tooth, axial depth of cut of 0.20 mm and radial depth of cut of 10 mm. From the experimental result the lowest surface roughness of 0.061µm was obtained at 900 m/min with the same conditions for other cutting parameters. This study revealed that by milling AZ91D at a high speed cutting, it is possible to eliminate the polishing process to achieve a mirror-like finishing.

This paper presents finite element method (FEM) and experimental analysis on high-speed milling for thin-wall machining of Al7075-T651. Changes in cutting forces, temperature, and chip morphology according to cutting conditions are analyzed using FEM. Results of machining experiments are analyzed in terms of cutting forces and surface integrity such as surface roughness and surface condition. Variables of cutting conditions are feed per tooth, spindle speed, and axial depth of cut. Cutting conditions to improve surface integrity were investigated by analysis on cutting forces and surface roughness, and machined surface condition.
