Technical-economic study of the feed per tooth influence in a cylindrical milling process of alloyed steels

Abstract

The economy of the machining process is an important point that has been given attention since the beginning of the process. For this reason, this study focuses on the evaluation of the performance of the cylindrical milling process, varying the feed rate per tooth for the operating conditions proposed in the revised case study. This was done using a calculation algorithm in which the fixed parameters were entered and the feed per tooth was varied. Finding benefits in terms of cutting speed, feed speed, cutting time and more. Increased feed per tooth resulted in lower process costs.
