Abstract

Magnesium alloys are having the characteristics like light weight, wear, and corrosion resistance. Mg alloys find usage in a wide range of applications such as engine block of automobile parts, laptop cases, aircraft fuselages and mobile outer cases. However, in dry machining, many challenges restrict its development during fitment. In this research work, conventional vertical milling machine was used to conduct end milling operation on Mg AZ31B alloy with coated carbide insert. End milling operations were performed by varying spindle speed, feed per tooth, and constant cutting depth. The chip morphology and tool chip interface temperature were investigated for various cutting conditions. Also, feed force (Fx), thrust force (Fy) and cutting force (Fz) was analyzed to understand the proper material deformation characteristics.
