Keywords:
Wood-plastic composites, Surface roughness, Vertical milling machineAbstract
This research aimed to study the suitable condition of a face milling and plastic types on surface roughness of commercial wood-plastic composites (WPCs). The experiment consisted of 4 factors; spindle speed, feeding rate, depth of cut and types of WPCs. Three levels of cutting condition were the spindle speeds at 250, 500, and 710 rpm, feeding rates at 125, 315, and 630 mm/min, and depths of cut at 0.50, 0.75, and 1.00 mm whereas 3 types of WPCs were combination of PE, PP or PVC with wood-flour. The results show that the lowest surface roughness of WPCs was 1.70, 2.64, and 1.78 µm., obtained from the composites PP, PVC, and PE at the cutting conditions of spindle speed 500, 710, and 500 rpm, the feeding rates 315, 125, and 125 mm per minute, and the depths of cut 0.75, 1.00, and 0.50 mm, respectively. Furthermore, the surface roughness value of the composites was affected by the different type of WPCs whereas the lowest to the highest surface roughness values were given by the PP, PVC, and PE composites, respectively.
