In the present study, micro-milling of aluminium 6061 alloy and copper was undertaken. TiAlN coated two-flute flat end milling cutters of 0.5 mm diameter were used for conducting micro-channel milling experiments with minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) as the cutting environment. The effect of process parameters namely cutting velocity (vc) and feed per flute (fz) on the cutting forces, surface roughness and burr width are reported. RMS values of longitudinal feed force (FX), transverse cutting force (FY) and vertical thrust force (FZ) were measured and the maximum values for Al 6061 are 0.33 N, 0.16 N and 0.21 N respectively, and the same for copper are measured to be 0.11 N, 0.17 N and 0.22 N respectively. Average surface roughness along the milling direction (Ra) at the bottom surface of the micro-channel was measured. Smoother surfaces were generated at lower feed per flute in both the materials. Ra is found to be varying from 28.2 nm to 86.9 nm for Al 6061, and for copper, the range is from 4.9 nm to 32.7 nm. SEM images of the micro-channels were analysed and top burr width was measured in both up-milling and down-milling directions. Higher feed per flute produced smaller burrs in both up-milling and down-milling directions. Maximum burr width for Al 6061 is measured to be 12.86 μm and 15.28 μm in up-milling and down-milling direction respectively, and for copper, the same are measured to be 12.84 μm and 20.46 μm respectively.

A beam of ions of mass greater than a few atomic mass units and with sufficient energy can remove atoms from the surface of a solid material at a useful rate. A system used to achieve this purpose under controlled atmospheres is called an ion miliing machine. An ion milling apparatus presently available as IMMI-III with a IMMIAC was used in this investigation. Unless otherwise stated, all the micro milling operations were done with Ar+ at 6kv using a beam current of 100 μA for each of the two guns, with a specimen tilt of 15° from the horizontal plane.It is fairly well established that ion bombardment of the surface of homogeneous materials can produce surface topography which resembles geological erosional features.
