RESUMO

In die mould production sequence, the milling is the most important factor, considering both the programming costs and the manufacturing time. In fact, the application of CAD/CAM/CNC and HSC technologies is a basic competitiveness edge. The optimized use of these technologies will determine the strategic advantage for industries. The finishing by milling is a step that spend a long time and, in most cases, the final result is not the desired one. That is a consequence of the lack of knowledge on the involved phenomenon or by the use of milling strategies without the enough knowledge on milling processes. The optimization of the finishing by milling will provide a gain on the next operations, save tools, and mainly because of the possibility of eliminating one step, consider a mould being machined in hardened state. The main objective of the present work is to study the finishing milling on flat surfaces using ball nose end mills and shows that the theoretical scallop height values yielded by CAM softwares is not reached on practical operations. Also, the factors governing flat surfaces as well as the best parameters for the WNr. 1.2367 tool steel showing that the studied milling parameters has a strong influence in the roughness, manly the cut sense. The knowledge of the best milling parameters and their influences on the final result, as well as others some factors, intend to offer information for industries and their programmers to optimize the die and moulds cutting plan and manufacturing.
