Relationship of Pocket Geometry and Tool Path Strategy with 2 1/2-D Milling Parameters: Machining Time, Cutting Forces and Surface Roughness

Article Preview

Abstract:

2 1/2-D pocketing is an important operation in aeronautic and automotive industries. In the present paper, it is studied the relationship among the pocket geometry and the tool path strategy chosen with interesting parameters as: machining time, cutting forces and surface roughnes. The pocketing tests have been performed on UNS A96063, an increasingly frequent alloy in such industries.
