Experimental Investigation to Improve Surface Integrity of Biomedical Devices by End-Milling AISI 316L Stainless Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper presents the influence of machining parameters namely cutting speed and feed rate on the machinability enhancement of AISI 316L stainless steel, in terms of surface integrity using end-milling with coated tungsten carbide tool (TiAlN). Optical microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and surface roughness measurement were used to analyze the surface integrity in terms surface topography and hardness test. A multi view approach is adopted to study the effect of different cutting parameters on the surface integrity of AISI 316L stainless steel. It was found that high cutting speed and low feed rate influence the surface roughness. Low surface roughness makes AISI 316L stainless steel more corrosion resistant which prevents wear of the implants.
