Optimization of Cutting Parameters for Desirable Surface Roughness in End-Milling Hardened AISI H13 Steel under a Certain Metal Removal Rate

Abstract:

In this paper, the orthogonal experiments and the optimization experiments with the same metal removal rate are designed to investigate the main effects and primary interaction of cutting parameters on surface roughness and to search the optimal cutting parameter under a certain removal rate when end-milling hardened AISI H13 steel with the PVD coated carbide insert. The empirical model for surface roughness based on the orthogonal experiments and the optimization experiments with the same metal removal rate and the optimal cutting parameter were all verified. Under a certain metal removal rate, the combination of high cutting speed, small axial depth of cut and high feed, small radial depth of cut generates the best surface roughness in hard milling of AISI H13.
