CAD-based modelling of surface roughness in high performance cutting methods

Abstract

The article describes our research carried out at the Institute of Manufacturing Science within the framework of the project EFOP-361-16-2016-00011 “Younger and Renewing University – Innovative Knowledge City – institutional development of the University of Miskolc aiming at intelligent specialization”, with the topic of CAD-modeling of theoretical surface roughness in high-performance cutting processes. In the course of this research, we mainly dealt with the examination of surfaces machined by face milling, where the so-called the cutting ratio (ratio of the depth of cut a_p and the feed per tooth f_z) was changed from the generally used range a_p/f_z > 1 to a_p/f_z <1. In this work, the essence of the developed method is presented, and the performed investigations are briefly summarized.
