Abstract:
This research paper is concerned with the experimental study of high-feed end milling of 1.4541 (X6CrNiTi18-10) stainless steel with replaceable cermet plates. Several machining operations were performed under different cutting conditions. The variable values were depth of cut, feed per tooth and cutting speed. The results were analyzed, and cutting forces were evaluated for dependence on cutting conditions (cutting speed, depth of cut, feed per tooth). The obtained data were statistically processed and plotted in graphs. It was found that the percentage distribution of cutting forces changed as the tool load increased. The ratio of forces acting in individual axes also changed with varying trends. An increasing trend was recorded in the x and y axes, while a decreasing trend was recorded in the z axis. Measured change, approximately 10%, can no longer be neglected as it can significantly influence the clamping stability of a part.
