Comparative study of the ball nose end mill machined surface quality

Journal Title: Proceedings in Manufacturing Systems - Year 2015, Vol 10, Issue 2

Abstract

Ball nose end mills are highly used for 3-5 axes milling operations. The current paper presents a package of experiments for ball nose end milling, considering two cases: machining with the tool in a vertical position and machining with the tool in a tilted position compared to the machined surface. In comparison to the experiments presented so far in the known literature, the tool is tilted on two directions thus providing specific data. The results cover surface profile, texture and surface roughness measured on two perpendicular directions. References with similar data obtained by other researchers are also made.
