Fuzzy Modeling of Surface Roughness Parameters in Machining Ti-6Al-4V Alloy

Abstract:

Titanium alloys are attractive materials used in different engineering applications, due to its excellent combination of properties such as high strength to weight ratio, good corrosion resistance and high temperature applicability. They are also being used increasingly in chemical process, automotive, biomedical and nuclear plant. When machining of Titanium alloys with traditional tools the tool wear rate high. Because of high chemical reactivity and low modulus of elasticity resulting high cutting temperature and strong adhesion between the tool and work piece materials. The poly crystalline diamond (PCD) cutting tool is used for the turning experiment. The turning parameters for the experimental work are cutting speed, feed, nose radius, and depth of cut. From the results, analysis of the influences of the individual parameters on the surface roughness have been carried out. Fuzzy modeling technique is effectively used to predict the surface roughness in the machining of titanium alloy.
