The Development of an Economic Model for the Milling of Titanium Alloys

Abstract:

This paper presents a model for the determination of optimal cutting parameters in the milling of Titanium alloys based on real manufacturing data collected from cutting tests. The objective of the optimal function is to achieve the lowest overall costs. Design of Experiment and Taguchi methods are applied in the design of cutting tests. Optimal cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed, depths of cut are obtained by solving the economic model which is developed according to workshop-specific data.
