Mathematical Model of Material Removal Rate during Milling of AISI D2 Tool Steel Using Response Surface Methodology

Abstract:

The CNC milling process is one of the most valuable traditional machining processes for machining hardened material by using various coated end mill tools. The attention of the current study has been done on end milling of hardened AISI D2 tool steel which is a commonly used tool steel grade in a press machine. The material removal rate is an essential aspect of improving productivity and reducing lead time and production costs. MRR has been considered as a response in this experimental work. A number of experiments were conducted using the design of the experiment via response surface methodology (RSM). MRR was calculated for each machining performance. A mathematical model of MRR was found using response surface methodology.
