SURFACE ROUGHNESS OF STRUCTURAL POLYMER MATERIALS AFTER MILLING

Abstract

: The work was made to determine the technological conditions of milling of modern structural polymer construction materials due to the micro-geometrical structure of the machined surface (surface roughness). Wide spectrum of different type of modern structural polymer materials, used for toolmaking, prototyping and machine parts making application were machined. Five, commonly used, surface roughness parameters were specified, using MarSurf GD 120 PC - Based Roughness Measuring Unit. Original results of the experiment related to comparison of material and roughness with the use of two different milling tools were presented and discussed.
