Investigating the Machinability of Al-Si-Cu cast alloy containing bismuth and antimony using coated carbide insert

Surface roughness and cutting force are two key measures that describe machined surface integrity and power requirement evaluation, respectively. This investigation presents the effect of melt treatment with addition of bismuth and antimony on machinability when turning Al-11 Si-2 Cu alloy. The expe...
