What is Milling
Milling is a machining process in which, a rotary cutter is used to remove the material
from the workpiece in the direction perpendicular to the axis of rotation. The
milling process is done by the machine, which holds bot the tool and workpiece in jig and fixture, known as a milling machine.
There are
two ways to cut the material from the workpiece through a milling machine. The first one is named as conventional milling or Up milling and the other one is known as
climb milling or down milling.
Difference Between Up-Milling and Down-Milling Operation
Up Milling
|
Down Milling
|
In up
milling the cutter rotates against the direction of feed.
|
In Down
milling, the cutter rotates with the direction of feed.
|
It is also
known as conventional milling.
|
It is also
known as climb milling.
|
In this,
chip width size is zero at the initial cut and increases with feed.
It is maximum at the end of the feed.
|
In this
cutting process, the chip size is maximum at the start of the cut and decreases with the
feed.
It is zero
at the end of the feed.
|
In this
process, heat is diffused to the workpiece which causes the change in metal
properties.
|
In down
milling, most of the heat diffused to the chip does not change the workpiece properties.
|
In up
milling, tool wear is more because the tool runs against the feed.
|
In this, tool
wear is less compared to the up milling, due to the cutter rotating with the
feed.
|
Tool life
is low.
|
Tool life
is high.
|
The
cutting chips are carried upward by the tool so-known as up milling.
|
The chips
are carried downward by the tool so-known as down milling.
|
The
cutting chips fall down in front of the cutting tool which again cuts the
chips cause less surface finish.
|
The
cutting chips fall down behind the tool. This gives a better surface finish.
|
Due to
upward force by tool, high strength jig and fixture are required to hold the workpiece.
|
In down
milling, downward force act on workpiece normal jig and fixture required.
|
It is the
traditional way of cutting the workpiece.
|
It is a non-traditional way, but nowadays, down milling is used more than up milling.
|
High-quality cutting fluid is required because heat diffuses in the workpiece.
|
In this
process heat does not diffuse in the workpiece, so simple cutting fluid is
required.
|
It
required a high cutting force compared to down milling.
|
It
required low cutting force.
