Abstract: The objective of our work consists of identifying the relevant parameters of plunge milling operation and to show its performance for the realization of mould and dies. In this framework, we have defined the trajectory of machining and the various strategies adapted to the plunge milling operation. Then, we have determined the machining time and the surface quality (scallop height) for the various strategies suggested. A technical-economical comparison between the various strategies and the determination of machining times and scallop height are also presented.

 

Key words: plunge milling, machining trajectory, machining strategies, scallop height, machining time.
