| Abstract | The effect of tool orientation on the final surface geometry and quality in five-axis micro-milling of brass using ball-end mills is investigated. Straight grooves are cut with different tool inclination and tilt angles, and the resulting surfaces are characterized using an optical profilometer and microscope. Results of various cutting experiments and analysis of the final surface geometry show that varying the tool orientation reduces rubbing of the material at the bottom of the grooves, which often occurs in ball-end milling of brass. Results also indicate that a non-zero tool inclination angle can result in more accurate geometry profiles compared to the case where the tool axis is normal to the surface. The experimental analysis for surface roughness profiles also shows that applying a tool inclination angle of 15° can considerably improve the surface roughness at the bottom of the grooves. |
