The paper reports the performance of ball nose end milling of preheated Inconel 600. The experiments designed using L8 orthogonal array were carried out on CNC milling machine using solid carbide ball end mill. The machining parameters (spindle speed, feed per tooth, depth of cut and number of flutes) were varied at two levels each and the surface roughness and material removal rate were measured. The analysis of results shows that the surface finish degrades at lower spindle speed. The chips welded on both sides of the slot retard chip flow, and cutting temperature will increase because the heat generated can not be dissipated with the chips leading to poor surface finish.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
