Surface Roughness Prediction in Ball-End Milling Process for Aluminum by Using Air Blow Cutting

Abstract:

The objective of this research is to develop the surface roughness and cutting force models by using the air blow cutting of the aluminum in the ball-end milling process. The air blow cutting proposed in order to reduce the use of the cutting fluid. The surface roughness and cuttting force models are proposed in the exponential forms which consist of the cutting speed, the feed rate, the depth of cut, the tool diameter, and the air blow pressure. The coefficients of the surface roughness and cutting force models are calculated by utilizing the multiple regression with the least squared method at 95% significant level. The effects of cutting parameters on the cutting force are investigated and measured to analyze the relation between the surface roughness and the cutting conditions. The experimentally obtained results showed that the cutting force has the same trend with the surface roughness. The surface plots are constructed to determine the optimum cutting condition referring to the minimum surface roughness.
