Roughness Value Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Roughness Value
Roughness Value is the arithmetic average of the absolute values of the roughness profile ordinates.
Symbol: R
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Feed
The Feed is the distance as the cutting tool advances along the length of the work for every revolution of the spindle.
Symbol: f
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Working Major Cutting Edge Angle
The Working Major Cutting Edge Angle is the angle formed by the cutting edge, starting from the point where the cutting edge first engages with the workpiece.
Symbol: θ
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Working Minor Cutting Edge
The Working Minor Cutting Edge is the portion of the cutting edge that extends from the end of the primary cutting edge to the point where it effectively has no cutting action.
Symbol: θ'
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
cot
Cotangent is a trigonometric function that is defined as the ratio of the adjacent side to the opposite side in a right triangle.
Syntax: cot(Angle)

FAQs on Roughness Value

What is the formula to find Roughness Value?
The formula of Roughness Value is expressed as Roughness Value = Feed/(4*(cot(Working Major Cutting Edge Angle)+cot(Working Minor Cutting Edge))). Here is an example- 17.0593 = 0.0009/(4*(cot(0.788382152819435)+cot(0.0818559419185187))).
How to calculate Roughness Value?
With Feed (f), Working Major Cutting Edge Angle (θ) & Working Minor Cutting Edge (θ') we can find Roughness Value using the formula - Roughness Value = Feed/(4*(cot(Working Major Cutting Edge Angle)+cot(Working Minor Cutting Edge))). This formula also uses Cotangent (cot) function(s).
What are the other ways to Calculate Roughness Value?
Here are the different ways to Calculate Roughness Value-
  • Roughness Value=0.0321*(Feed)^2/Corner Radius of ToolOpenImg
  • Roughness Value=(0.0642*(Feed Speed)^2)/(Diameter of Cutter*(Rotational Frequency of Cutter)^2)OpenImg
  • Roughness Value=0.0321*(Feed)^2/Corner Radius of ToolOpenImg
Can the Roughness Value be negative?
No, the Roughness Value, measured in Length cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Roughness Value?
Roughness Value is usually measured using the Millimeter[mm] for Length. Meter[mm], Kilometer[mm], Decimeter[mm] are the few other units in which Roughness Value can be measured.
