Experimental Investigation on Surface Roughness in Precision Cutting Ti6Al4V Alloy Using Diamond Tools

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, cutting experiments were carried out on titanium alloy Ti6Al4V by using polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools to investigate the effects of the tool geometries and cutting parameters on machined surface roughness. Experimental results show machined surface roughness decreases with increases in the flank angle, tool nose radius and cutting speed within a limited range respectively, and begins to increase as the factors reaches to certain values respectively. And machined surface roughness decreases with increases in feed rate and cutting depth respectively.
