Multi-Factor Analysis of Cutting Parameters for Bamboo Milling
Source abstract
Abstract
In industrial bamboo machining, the suboptimal selection of cutting parameters leads to elevated cutting power and increased surface roughness. To enhance the machinability of bamboo, a multi-objective optimization of cutting parameters was conducted using orthogonal experimental methods, with special focus on the influences of fiber direction, feed per tooth, and cutting speed on cutting power and surface roughness. The main findings of this study are summarized as follows: feed per tooth exhibited the greatest effect on cutting power, followed by cutting speed and fiber direction. In contrast, fiber direction exerted the most substantial influence on surface roughness, with feed per tooth and cutting speed ranking second and third, respectively. Furthermore, the optimal milling parameters for minimizing both cutting power and surface roughness were identified as a fiber direction of 0°, a feed per tooth of 0.2 mm/z, and a cutting speed of 400 m/min. Therefore, the obtained optimal parameters are recommended for industrial bamboo machining to achieve reduced cutting power and improved surface quality.
