Experimental Study of Micro Mill-Grinding Process on Al 6061-T6

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents a novel micro machining process that micro mill-grinding by combining micro-grinding and micro-milling. The principle of micro mill-grinding has been analyzed and a experiment is designed to study the influences in micro mill-grinding process on Al 6061-T6. The manufacturing is carried out on a desktop micro machine developed by NEU. In this research, analysis from results could found that the surface quality influences in micro mill-grinding is complicated affected both by milling and grinding, and conclude aspects such as cutter diameter, feed rate and material properties.
