Abstract

As one of the most important material-removing technologies, milling is used commonly for recent several decades to remove materials from a blank to get the desired surface. There are several parameters representing the geometrical qualities of a surface including topography, roughness, and waviness. Also, the surface topography directly determines contacting zone between two fitting surfaces, which may influence the friction property and the lubricity and furthermore affect the serving life of the machined surface. Therefore, the study of surface topography becomes a necessary research topic. To meet the fast-growing demand for high-performance surfaces and to figure out the challenges in this research area, the history and state-of-the-art technology/theory of this area need to be summarized. Thus, this paper tries to present a comprehensive review of the study on surface topography in the milling process. First, the construction mechanism of surface topography is analyzed. Second, the existing predicting methods are concluded. Then, influencing factors on the surface topography are discussed. Finally, the study on surface topography of complex components is investigated from geometric analysis, experimental exploration, and influence factors. Systemic analysis of research on surface topography provides a basis for future studies.
