Abstract

In recent machining operation, tool life is one of the most demanding tasks in production process, especially in the automotive industry. The aim of this paper is to study tool wear on HSS in end milling of aluminium 6061 alloy. The experiments were carried out to investigate tool wear with the machined parameters and todevelopedmathematicalmodelusingresponsesurface methodology.Thevariousmachiningparametersselected fortheexperimentarespindlespeed(N),feedrate(f),axialdepthofcut(a)andradialdepthofcut(r).Theexperimentwasdesignedusingcentralcompositedesign(CCD) inwhich31sampleswererunonSIEG3/10/0010CNCend milling machine.
