Experimental Investigation of Tool Wear and Chip Morphology in Turning Titanium Alloy Ti6Al4V

Abstract:

The various feed rate and cutting speed have an important influence on cutting force, tool wear and chip morphology in machining titanium alloy. Cutting experiments are carried out analyzing the titanium alloy Ti6Al4V under different cutting speed and feed rate, the cutting force values are obtained. The analysis results show that the dominant wear pattern is adhesion wear and chipping. And the tool wear also has an influence on chip morphology.
