Investigation of the Topography of Face Milled Surfaces

Abstract

Effects of the changing of cutting on the two-and three-dimensional roughness parameters of surfaces machined by face milling are investigated in the paper. The focus is on how the changing of the ratio of the feed and depth of cut affects the generated surface topography and its parameters in the case of constant undeformed uncut chip cross-section. Additionally, it is demonstrated how setting errors of individual inserts affect the roughness parameters of machined surfaces.
