Influence of cutting parameters on surface quality when machining a CoCrWNi alloy

Abstract

Due to their excellent biocompatibility and mechanical properties, the use of Co-Cr based alloys in medical applications has increased substantially. An important characteristic of the medical implants is their surface quality, this being a significant constraint when machining this kind of products. The aim of this paper is to present a research conducted in order to determine and expose the influence of turning cutting parameters on the surface roughness of a CoCrWNi alloy.
