Surface quality and chip formation in turning of LM6 aluminium alloy and particulate reinforced metal matrix composite

Majority of the components of aerospace and automotive vehicles need different machining operations, mainly for the assembly requirements. The components have to present both high dimensional precision and surface quality. This present work is concerned with the effect of cutting parameters (cutting...
