Evaluation of selected properties of a surface layer after milling using inserts with different coatings

The article presents a comparison of results of measurements of the geometrical structure of milled surfaces with inserts with different coatings. The study was done on a vertical milling centre. The first step was to determine the properties of milled surfaces using new inserts. For this purpose, an optical apparatus was used. The samples were then subjected to continuous treatment. Upon completion of the declared quantities of machining cycles, these surfaces were analysed. This allowed us to determine the influence of the coating of the inserts on the surface layer of milled surfaces continuously.
