Effect of average chip thickness and cutting speed on cutting forces and surface roughness during peripheral up milling of wood flour/polyvenyl chloride composite

• Wood flour/polyvinyl chloride composite (WFPVCC) is a kind of composite material that, over the years, is becoming more popular in constructions applications. In this work, cutting forces and machined surface roughness were studied during peripheral up milling of WFPVCC under different average chip thickness which was obtained by adjusting rotation speed and feed rate at both high and low speed cutting conditions. The results indicated that cutting forces components, parallel force (F-x) and normal force (F-y) greatly varied during the cutting process. Maximum F-x, maximum F-y and surface roughness increased with the increase of average chip thickness. Maximum F-x and maximum F-y at high speed cutting conditions were lower than that at low speed cutting conditions at a same average chip thickness. The machined surface roughness at high speed cutting conditions was better than that at low speed cutting conditions at a same average chip thickness. When meeting the requirement of certain surface roughness, higher cutting speed can allow higher chip thickness and then decrease the tool wear than lower speed cutting condition. Maximum negative F-y had great impact in machined surface roughness. Machined surface roughness increased with the increase of maximum negative F-y. Thus, high speed cutting conditions not only increase the machining productivity, but also decrease machined surface roughness during the peripheral up milling of WFPVCC.
