A Study on the Optimization of the Cutting Parameters in Turning of Pure Titanium

Abstract:

Pure titanium and its alloys are widely used in automotive industry, due to their high specific strength (strength/density) and excellent corrosion resistance, despite of their high cost. From point of view of machining, turning experiments of the pure titanium involve few input parameters (cutting speed, feed rate or depth of cut) and investigation of their influence on the response parameters of the cutting process (temperature in this case). Objectives of this study are to find the optimal combination of the input parameters, so that the temperature in turning of pure titanium to be minimum. In order to use a small number of experiments, two major tools, signal-to-noise (one of the three characteristic: nominal is the best, smaller the better or larger is better) and orthogonal array as statistical method can be used. For this study, a L₉ (3⁴) orthogonal array was considered adequate, so nine experiments was conducted using each factor (speed, feed and depth of cut) at three different levels.
