A Review: Literature summary on typical machinability characterictics of milling processes

Abstract

This review paper focuses on the up-to-date machinability characteristics of milling processes such as cutting forces, surface roughness and tool wear and their impacts on the cutting mechanism. The methodology pursued in this paper is to analyze the previous research articles published between 2019-2022 classifying them into the sub-categories which uses milling operation as manufacturing strategy. As known, milling is one of the most used machining processes in industry and often applied for the academic studies for wide range of materials. Therefore, used sensor systems, main aim and the preferred methodology were summarized in the context of this paper. Seemingly, great number of machinability papers have been published recently which focuses on the several types of engineering materials and utilized various types of sensor system to improve the surface roughness and tool life. In addition, the investigation showed that optimization approaches have been applied broadly to detect the best machining conditions. Also, it was observed that several modeling approaches such as finite element analysis is a good alternative to analyze the process.
