Optimization of surface roughness in micro-high speed end milling of soda lime glass using uncoated tungsten carbide tool with compressed air blowing

Soda lime glass is a very important material in diverse manufacturing industries, including automotive, electronics, and aerospace. In these applications, the glass surface needs to be defect free and without impurities. However, the machining of glass is difficult due to its inherent brittleness...
