Effect of depth of cut (DOC) and degree of serrations (DOS) on surface roughness of aluminum 6061 by Muhammad Sukroni, Heni Hendaryati, Iis Siti Aisyah

“…In this study the infeed depths used were 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm, and 2 mm by testing the surface roughness using a roughness tester, and testing the teeth gram (DOS) using the SEM (Scaning Electron Microscope) tester. The value of surface roughness (surface roughness) in relation to the depth of cut (DOC) in 6061 aluminum material using a conventional lathe has increased, while the value of the dentition gram (DOS) to the depth of cut (DOC) in the aluminum 6061 lathe process at a depth of 0.5 mm figure shows the percentage of DOS 31.8 percent then continues to decrease with increasing depth of ingestion on the lathe. …”
