Investigations on the effects of tool wear on chip formation mechanism and chip morphology using acoustic emission signal in the microendmilling of aluminum alloy

This work investigates the effects of tool wear on surface roughness (Ra), chip formation mechanisms and chip morphology in the microendmilling of aluminum alloy (AA 1100) using acoustic emission (AE) signals. The acquired AE signals are analysed in the time domain, frequency domain using fast Fourier transformation (FFT) and the discrete wavelet transformation (DWT) technique. The time domain analysis indicates that the root mean square of the...
