Experimental Study on Cutting Forces at Ti6Al4V Milling

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper is presented an experiment whose aim is to determine the cutting forces that appear when machining Ti6Al4V titanium alloy, in order to optimize its working rate and productivity. This experiment uses carbide coated milling tools for milling titanium alloy. It has studied the influence that milling parameters have upon the three dimensional cutting forces. The equipment which was used included stationary dynamometer for measuring cutting forces, with piezoelectric transducers. The cutting force model is developed in terms of cutting speed, feed rate, axial depth and length of milling (radial depth), with values established according to response surface methodology in intervals from the specialised literature. Titanium alloys are a continuous challenge. This paper is important because is getting relevant results for improving manufacturing efficiency.
