Abstract The aim of this paper was to experimentally analyse the generated noise
and detect the appearance of self-excited vibrations, i.e. chatter vibrations during
milling. There were performed three different types of experiments, based on the
plan proposed in ([1]). In the first experiment, we measured sound pressure level—
SPL [dBA] in dependence of cutting parameters, in second we measured SPL [dBA]
induced by chatter vibrations and the stability lobes diagram is machined into workpiece while in the third experiment is also measured SPL [dBA] in dependence of
radial depth of cut that increases linearly. Material of the workpiece was carbon steel
and we used milling cutter with carbide inserts. Vertical machining centre was used
for milling and noise was measured with microphone. Purpose of those experiments
was to see how different cutting parameters influence on a generation of noise and
vibrations. Also, in that way, we can select cutting parameters that will not lead
us to unstable regions. The experimental results obtained can be used for future
investigations in this field.
1 Introduction
Improving the performance of cutting operations has led to an increase in noise levels,
especially during milling. The main sources of noise during milling are self-excited
vibrations, i.e. chatter vibrations. In the literature, it is usual to compare noise levels
with respect to the spindle speed, feed rate, axial and radial depth of the cut. Purpose
of those comparisons is to gain insight into the effects of cutting parameters on the
occurrence of noise and vibrations [1, 2, 3, 4].
In [1] are given detailed explanations of an experimental plan to study the noise
emission during the milling process. The experimental plan consists of three experiments and this paper presents the results of the experiments carried out on the basis
of the experimental plan.
