On the Surface Roughness for the Dry Superfinishing Process of Carbide Inserts

The surface roughness of tool edge and surface can affect the friction, between the rake face and chips and also the cutting force and temperature. For this reasons, in order to assure a good quality, some experimental determinations, from point of view of rake face roughness, are presented in this paper. The results, as capture from a SEM microscope, and, graphically dependencies of roughness as function of process parameters, are presented.
