title = "The effect of up-cutting and down-cutting directions on materials swelling in ultra-precision raster milling",
abstract = "The influence of materials swelling across the steps on surface roughness under up-cutting and down-cutting direction in ultra-precision raster milling was investigated. The normalized extent of swelling is characterized by a swelling significance index, defined based on the power spectral density of the roughness profile. Materials swelling was found to be significant in ultra-precision raster milling, especially when copper alloys machined in the up-cutting direction. The findings in the present study provide an important means for improving the surface finish of the raster-milled surfaces and optimizing the cutting conditions.",
