According to recent research from the United States, "Hard milling has a potential to replace finish grinding in manufacturing dies and molds. Surface finish is one key surface integrity parameter to justify the use of hard milling."
"In this study, a Taguchi design-of-experiment based finish milling hardened AISI H13 tool steel (50 +/- 1 HRc) with physical vapor deposition (PVD) (Ti, Al) N-TiN-coated end mill was conducted to investigate the optimal surface topography and roughness. A kinematic model of the cutting tool loci was developed to investigate the formation mechanism of the surface texture and correlate the simulated surface textures with the measured ...
