| Popis: | The improvement of the quality of the surface roughness of the polyurethane board (PB) has always been a challenge in the automotive industry. A suitable combination of the milling parameters is very important in order to get a high grade of smoothness specially when dealing with complex designs such as curved profiles. In this paper, a half factorial design of experiment (DoE) with 16 runs at two levels is applied in the milling operation of the checking fixtures of a car seat belt bracket under a dry cutting condition. The Feed rate, Depth of cut, Spindle speed, Step over and Plunge rate were taken as the variables for the DoE. Two different milling tools, a flat end mill of diameter10 mm for roughing, and a ball nose of diameter 5 mm for the finishing process were used. Minitab software was use to analyze the correlation between the parameters and the surface roughness. The most influential factor in the milling process was observed to be the Step over. |
