PT Journal AU Wang, L Pan, Y Zhu, X TI Effect of Milling Parameters on the Surface Roughness of SiCp/Al Materials SO Manufacturing Technology Journal PY 2023 BP 545 EP 550 VL 23 IS 4 DI 10.21062/mft.2023.063 DE SiCp/Al; Cutting Parameters; Surface Roughness; Parameter Optimization AB The presence of reinforcing particles SiCp seriously affects the cutting surface quality of SiCp/Al materials.In this study, different machining parameters were tested to obtain good surface quality, and the surface quality of SiCp/Al alloy material under different milling parameters was studied by using the surface profilometer and scanning electron microscope to explore the effect of cutting pa-rameters on surface quality. The results showed that the Surface roughness value increased with the increase of feed rate and milling speed, and milling speed was the dominant factor in the microstruc-ture evolution of the machined surface. In addition, an exponential model related to feed rate and milling speed was constructed. ER
