Abstract

An investigation of the effect of drilling speed, milling-cutter wear, drilling mode, and applied drilling force on residual-stress measurements in a light truck wheel using a milling guide manufactured by Measurements Group, Inc. is described. The milling variables chosen were used to minimize the residual stresses induced by the introduction of a hole into the wheel material. An improved hole-drilling procedure was developed and found to be successful in the residual-stress measurements for a light truck wheel.
