International Conference 2ND International Conference on Innovations, Recent Trends and Challenges in Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering and New High-Tech Products Development MECAHITECH‘10 Bucharest, 23-24 September 2010 Surface Roughness Evaluation in Turning Based on Abbott – Firestone Curve Adriana Carmen Cîrstoiu Materials, Equipments, Installations and Robots Department, VALAHIA University of Târgovite, România, E-mail: adriana_cirstoiu@ ABSTRACT The paper presents experimental determination of the influence of the cutting tool nose radius on surfaces roughness in case of external turning. A roughness evaluation by its correlation with Abbott-Firestone curve and statistical distribution of the amplitudes of roughness profiles has been undertaken in the frames of this paperwork. KEY WORDS Surface Roughness, roughness profile, nose radius, Abbott - Firestone curve INTRODUCTION The measurement of surface state evaluates the defects of surface inevitably generated during the manufacture of parts. A good knowledge of these defects can take the necessary steps to keep within limits acceptable to the work piece assumes the function for which it was designed in the best economic conditions [1]. The factors that play a major influence on the quality of machined surfaces are: the machining parameters, the geometry of cutting tool, the properties of the material worked, the nature and mode of lubrication, the pheno
