Experimental Investigations and Modeling of Machining Titanium Alloy – Ti-6Al-4V

Article Preview

Abstract:

The problem of machining titanium is one of ever-increasing magnitude due to its low thermal conductivity and work hardening characteristic of the titanium alloy. The efficient machining of titanium alloy with coated carbides involves a proper selection of process parameters to minimizing the surface roughness and cutting force. In the present work, experimental studies have been carried out to obtain the optimum conditions for machining titanium alloy. The effect of machining parameters such speed, feed and depth of cut on the cutting force, surface roughness were investigated. The significance of these parameters, on cutting force and surface roughness has been established using the analysis of variance. Mathematical models have also been developed for estimating the cutting force and surface roughness on the basis of experimental results.
