Optimization of the Process Parameters in Milling of Aluminum Alloys

Abstract:

In order to control the temperature during milling process of aluminum alloys and keeping as minimum as possible, the choice of the cutting parameters and their optimization is very important, both for the tool wear but also for the surface quality of machined surface. The main purpose of this paper is to find the optimum values of the milling parameters (rotational speed and depth of cut) so that the minimum value for the temperature to be obtained. Using adequate experimental conditions with contact measurements techniques (thermocouple K-type) carried out on the some types of aluminum alloys and the appropriate statistical instruments, the most influencing cutting parameters and their values on the cutting temperature can be found. The results are presented both analytical and graphical.
