The Study of Surface Finish in Face Milling of Stainless Steel: AISI 304

Abstract:

This research was to study the effect of face milling on the surface finish of stainless steel: AISI 304. The experiment was applied on three factors and were consisted of three levels of cutting speed, depth of cut and feed rate. The face milling process was chosen to experiment which used face milling cutter with insert carbide tool. The surface roughness average (Ra) was applied to indicating for surface finish. The experiment results were analyzed by ANOVA. The main factors and factors interaction that affected to surface finish were investigated. Effect of cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut on surface finish of stainless steel: AISI 304 was discussed.
