Influence of cutting parameters on chatter and tool wear during end milling of stainless steel conducted on VMC

Stainless steels are a group of difficult to machine work materials. The difficulty in machining stainless steels is manifested in high contact length and stresses, formation of serrated chips and development of chatter resulting in high tool wear rates and poor machined surface finish. The paper fo...
