Experimental evaluation of surface generation and force time-varying characteristics of curvilinear grooved micro end mills fabricated by EDM

Conventional cutting fluids as coolants and lubricants are being widely used in various machining processes, but these cutting fluids give rise to biological and environmental problems. The advantages of implanting micro texture on macroscopic cutting tools have been proved widely in implementing sustainable machining. But seldom studies focused on preparing micro texture on the surface of micro end mill with diameter less than 1 mm. In this...
