Investigation of Cutting Parameters in Manufacturing of Femoral Heads

In the last years new methods have been investigated for the manufacturing of artificial implants for hip joints. For some parts of these implants, like femoral heads, the method of high speed machining is used to get manufactured. In this paper it was investigated the connection between cutting parameters and forces, in high speed turning of metallic femoral heads. This method is widely used in the industry combined with hard part machining, and leads to having better surface roughness and to decreasing of cutting time. It is also investigated the connection of the surface roughness and this manufacturing method with the measuring of the spheres using Atomic Force Microscopy according to the strict Standards of ISO 7206.
