Abstract :AA 7075 T6 material offers important strength values and is easy to machining. In this respect, it is preferred on a wide scale in the industry. This study aimed to investigate the surface quality that occurs in the end milling of AA 7075 T6 material. For this, 3 different cutting speeds insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(40, 80, 120 m/min);, three different feed rates insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.04, 0.08, 0.12 mm/rev);, 2 different cutting depths insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1 and 2 mm); were selected. The selected cutting parameters are combined with 2 and 4-flute end mills. As a result of the experiments, the average surface roughness insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Ra); value was measured. The relations of Ra values with the cut parameters were determined. It was determined that Ra increased with increasing feed rate and decreased with increasing cutting speed. No significant effect of depth of cut was detected. Increasing the number of mouths increased Ra. The milling simulation was performed with the 3D cutting module in the Deform 3D software. 2 and 4 flute end mills are modeled, and the workpiece is defined to the software and the cutting parameters. Temperature, damage, stress, and cutting force outputs were estimated through simulations run at different cutting parameters. The predicted outputs and the experimental Ra outputs were interpreted and interpreted. Experimental outputs were supported by successfully applying milling simulation in Deform 3D software.
