The Surface Roughness of Aluminium Material according to Cutting Conditions in the CNC Lathe Working

CNC 선반가공(旋盤加工)에서 절삭조건(切削條件)에 따른 알루미늄의 표면(表面)거칠기 변화(變化)

The machine tool which operates by hand is replacing by CNC machine tool to improve the quality of the product and the productivity in modem mechanic industry. The precision of machine part is influenced greatly the surface roughness by cutting condition of machine tool. So this study was performed to examine the aluminium surface roughness of section according to change of strength rating, nose radius, cutting speed, using live center. The results of this study are as follows; 1. In the case of 56mm diameter of test piece(length is below triple of diameter), whether establish the live center or not, doesn't influence to the surface roughness, and it is possible to make product without the live center. 2. The average surface roughness of 42mm diameter(length is quadruple of diameter) is similar to the 56mm diameter in the cutting condition of nose radius 0.8mm and cutting speed 140mm/min, but there are increases and differences in other cutting conditions. 3. In the case of test piece length more 70m/min(140m/mm) and nose radius improved greatly using the live center. 4. In the case of test piece length is quintuple of diameter, the nose radius must choose big tool and increase the cutting speed in preference live center establishment availability to improve that is surface roughness. Conclusively, if aluminum test piece length is fewer than triple of diameter, can process without establishing live center. If aluminum test piece length is more than quintuple of diameter, cutting conditions to improve surface roughness are (1) cutting speed (2) nose radius (3) whether the live center uses or not.
