The use of magnesium alloys in construction of different components of the mechanical systems (such: cars, aerospace vehicles, medical equipment etc.) is very efficient not only because it leads to reduction of the systems weight but also because it leads to reduction or elimination of the environment polluting and to reduction of the energy consumption. Generally, the main factors that influence the quality of the machined surfaces are as follows: cutting parameters, material properties, geometry of the tools, cooling liquids and lubricants, physical and mechanical properties of the subsurface layers etc. Among the above mentioned factors, cutting parameters are the factors that strongly influence the quality of the machined surfaces. The present paper analysis the results of the experimental investigation performed to determine the influence of cutting parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth) on the surface quality machined by turning the AZ61 magnesium alloy. The main characteristics of the machined surface quality analyzed in experimental investigation were the surface roughness and hardness. The main conclusions resulted from the results analysis were as follows: the decrease of the feed rate led to surface roughness decrease and hardness increase; the increase of the cutting speed also led to an improved surface quality.

Abstract The current state of surface roughness focuses on the 2D roughness. However, there are shortcomings in evaluating surface quality of particle reinforced metal matrix composites using 2D roughness due to the fact that the measuring direction has a vital impact on the 2D roughness value. It is therefore of great importance and significance to develop a proper criterion for measuring and evaluating the surface roughness of cutting particle reinforced metal matrix composites. In this paper, an experimental investigation was performed on the effect of cutting parameters on the surface roughness in cutting in-situ TiB2/7050Al MMCs. The 2D roughness Ra, 3D roughness Sa and Sq were comparatively studied for evaluating the machined surface quality of in-situ TiB2/7050Al MMCs. The influence of cutting parameters on the surface roughness was also analyzed. The big difference between roughness Ra measured along cutting and feed directions showed the great impact of measuring direction. Besides, surface defects such as pits, grooves, protuberances and voids were observed, which would influence 2D roughness value greatly, indicating that 3D roughness was more suitable for evaluating surface quality of cutting in-situ TiB2/7050Al MMCs. The cutting depth and feed rate were found to have the highest influence on 3D roughness while the effect of cutting speed was minimal. With increasing feed rate, cutting depth or width, the 3D roughness increased accordingly. But it decreased as cutting speed increased.

Surface roughness is among the key indicators describing the quality of machined surfaces. Although it is an aggregate of several factors, the condition of the surface is largely determined by the type of tool and the operational parameters of machining. This study sought to examine the effect that particular machining parameters have on the quality of the surface. The investigated operation was the high-speed dry milling of a magnesium alloy with a polycrystalline diamond (PCD) cutting tool dedicated for light metal applications. Magnesium alloys have low density, and thus are commonly used in the aerospace or automotive industries. The state of the Mg surfaces was assessed using the 2D surface roughness parameters, measured on the lateral and the end face of the specimens, and the end-face 3D area roughness parameters. The description of the surfaces was complemented with the surface topography maps and the Abbott–Firestone curves of the specimens. Most 2D roughness parameters were to a limited extent affected by the changes in the cutting speed and the axial depth of cut, therefore, the results from the measurements were subjected to statistical analysis. From the data comparison, it emerged that PCD-tipped tools are resilient to changes in the cutting parameters and produce a high-quality surface finish.

In the machining of the magnesium and magnesium alloys, some difficulties are encountered during working process. Thus, in the case of turning operation, when phenomena like: splinter self-ignition and flank built-up occur during machining, special tools and coolants are required in order to diminish the effects of such phenomena. In the case of grinding operation of the magnesium and its alloys, other phenomena like: adhesion between the abrasive tools and processing materials can cause explosions and hence such operation must be conducted in special conditions. A solution that can be applied to avoid such phenomena and effects is represented by the utilization of the burnishing operation. In the present study, the influence of the burnishing process on the quality of the machined surfaces of parts made from AZ61 magnesium alloy was performed. The quality of the burnished surfaces was analyzed in terms of the roughness and hardness parameters, the parameters with the greatest influence on surfaces roughness and hardness being the burnishing feed, burnishing speed and burnishing pressure

The quality of the machining is measured from surface finished and it is considered as the most important aspect in composite machining. An appropriate and optimum machining parameters setting is crucial during machining operation in order to enhance the surface quality. The objective of this research is to analyze the effect of machining parameters on the surface quality of CFRP-Aluminium in CNC end milling operation with PCD tool. The milling parameters evaluated are spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. The L9 Taguchi orthogonal arrays, signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) are employed to analyze the effect of these cutting parameters. The analysis of the results indicates that the optimal cutting parameters combination for good surface finish is high cutting speed, low feed rate, and low depth of cut.

During face milling machining, several machining parameters such as feed rate and cuttingspeed determine the surface quality of the workpiece produced by the process. The selection of the rightparameters will lead to the surface quality as planned. Therefore, to improve machining effectiveness, amethod is needed to determine the appropriate machining parameters to produce the desired surfacequality. This research was conducted using a milling machine, five variations of cutting speed and fivevariations of feed rate were used to cut the workpiece aluminum alloy 7075. After machining, the surfaceroughness was measured using a surface test. The surface roughness value is then substituted into thefeed rate equation and effective cutting speed. By finding effective cutting parameters, the machiningprocess will be more efficient and effective without using unnecessary resources.

In the metal machining process, cutting speed and feed rate are cutting parameters that affect the surface quality of the workpiece produced. The use of improper cutting parameters can cause the workpiece surface to be rough, and the cutting toolage to be shorter. This study was conducted to determine the effect of cutting parameters and the use of carbide tools on the surface roughness of metal steel workpieces. The research was carried out using the experimental method of AISI 4340 steel metal workpiece turning using cutting tool coated. Five variations of cutting speed used are: 140 m/min, 150 m/min, 160 m/min, 170 m/min, 180 m/min and three variations in feed rate: 0.25 mm/rev, 0.3 mm/rev, 0.35 mm/rev. After the turning process, the surface roughness of the workpiece is measured using a surface tester. From the results of the study, it was found that the surface roughness value was directly proportional to the feed rate and inversely proportional to the cutting speed. The smallest surface roughness value is 9.56 μm on cutting speed 180 m / min, and feed rate is 0.25 mm/rev.
