Optimum Working Condition of Al 2024 Alloy in Side Wall End Milling

Working condition is one of the most important factors in precision working. In this study, we optimized the vibration acceleration level(VAL) of Al 2024 alloy to select optimum working condition of side wall end-milling using RSM(Response Surface Methodology). RSM was well adapted to make analytic model for minimizing vibration acceleration, created the objective function and saved a great deal of computational time. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed optimization procedure using RSM can be easily utilized to solve the optimization problem of working condition. The experimental results of the surface roughness and VAL showed the validity of the proposed working condition of side wall end-milling as it can be observed.
