# Comprehensive Evaluation Method for High-Performance
## 4 Conclusions  
The article presents a comprehensive evaluation method for the high-performance milling of Inconel 718 alloy, which takes into account key process parameters, such as cutting forces, tool wear, machine power consumption, and material removal rate. Based on the research, it can be concluded that:* The method has been verified for two different Inconel milling processes, allowing for the assessment of its effectiveness and applicability in real machining conditions;
* The research results showed that high-feed milling ensures higher material removal rates and lower tool wear, making it more efficient for roughing operations;
* Plunge milling was characterized by a lower axial force component (F\({}_{\text{z}}\)), which can positively influence machining accuracy and process stability;
* The use of accelerated tool wear allows for a detailed analysis and comparison of different milling techniques and tools used in the machining process;
* Appropriate cutting parameters, such as spindle speed, feed rate, and depth of cut, significantly affect tool life and the quality of the machined surface;
* The proposed evaluation method is universal and can also be applied to other hard-to-machine materials, not just Inconel alloys;
* Optimization of process parameters, such as cutting forces and power consumption, is crucial for increasing efficiency and reducing the machining costs of high-strength alloys like Inconel 718;
* The optimal machining method, according to the assumptions of the verified evaluation method, was high-feed milling with the parameters: v\({}_{\text{c}}\) = 800 m/min, f\({}_{\text{z}}\) = 0.3 mm/tooth, a\({}_{\text{e}}\) = 100% of the tool diameter (72.8 mm), and a\({}_{\text{p}}\) = 1 mm, which is consistent with the results found in the literature [12; 39].  
The developed method not only allows for the analysis of a greater number of parameters simultaneously but also takes into account the aspect of energy consumption, which has not been widely studied in the literature so far. Furthermore, the use of a custom-designed tool enabled the comparison of two milling methods, which represents an innovative element in the context of the previous research on milling Inconel 718.
