Effect of Different Geometric Structures on Performance of 316L Stainless Steel Processed by Solid Carbide End Mill
Type A milling cutter with unequal pitch and damping edge belt structure,type B milling cutter with un-equal pitch and double straight back angle,and type C milling cutter with equal pitch structure were selected as experimen-tal tools.The 316L cutting performance of these milling cutters with different geometric structures was studied.The cutting force in the machining process was measured by a force meter.The effect of geometric structure on cutting performance was analyzed by spectrogram and machining surface roughness.The results show that when cutting 316L stainless steel,the cut-ting force of the type A milling cutter is reduced by about 16%,and the surface roughness is increased by about 25%.
