5.2. Effects of Process Parameters on Edge Chipp<strong>in</strong>g<br />

The sp<strong>in</strong>dle speed has a significant effect on edge chipp<strong>in</strong>g thickness. From Figure 18(a),<br />

it can be seen that the chipp<strong>in</strong>g thickness decreases with an <strong>in</strong>crease of sp<strong>in</strong>dle speed. That is<br />

to say, higher sp<strong>in</strong>dle speed will be effective to reduce the chipp<strong>in</strong>g thickness. The feedrate<br />

also has a significant effect on edge chipp<strong>in</strong>g thickness. The edge chipp<strong>in</strong>g thickness<br />

<strong>in</strong>creases as feedrate <strong>in</strong>creases as shown <strong>in</strong> Figure 18(b). The effects of sp<strong>in</strong>dle speed and<br />

feedrate are consistent with those when RUM of alum<strong>in</strong>a [Jiao et al., 2005]. For the edge<br />

chipp<strong>in</strong>g thickness, there exists an obvious <strong>in</strong>teraction effect between sp<strong>in</strong>dle speed and<br />

feedrate. The effect of sp<strong>in</strong>dle speed is much stronger at the higher level of the feedrate as<br />

shown <strong>in</strong> Figure 18(c).<br />

Figure 18. Ma<strong>in</strong> and <strong>in</strong>teraction effects on edge chipp<strong>in</strong>g thickness <strong>in</strong> RUM of CMC (after [Li et al.,<br />

2006]).<br />

Figure 19 shows the ma<strong>in</strong> and <strong>in</strong>teraction effects on chipp<strong>in</strong>g size. The sp<strong>in</strong>dle speed has<br />

a significant effect on chipp<strong>in</strong>g size. From Figure 19(a), it can be observed that the chipp<strong>in</strong>g<br />

size decreases with an <strong>in</strong>crease of sp<strong>in</strong>dle speed. This trend is consistent with that when RUM<br />

of Silicon carbide [Churi et al., 2007]. It <strong>in</strong>dicates that higher sp<strong>in</strong>dle speed will be effective<br />

to prevent larger chipp<strong>in</strong>gs. The two-factor <strong>in</strong>teractions between sp<strong>in</strong>dle speed and feedrate<br />

has a significant effect on chipp<strong>in</strong>g size. The effect of sp<strong>in</strong>dle speed is stronger at the higher<br />

level of the feedrate as shown <strong>in</strong> Figure 19(b), which is consistent with that when RUM of<br />

Silicon carbide [Churi et la., 2007].<br />
