Abstract

Titanium alloys are commonly used for many aerospace and medical applications because of their properties like high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance and heat treatment capabilities. But, due to the factors like low thermal conductivity and chemical reactivity with the cutting tool, it poses a challenge for the machining operations. In this study, a 3D Finite Element Model of the milling process of Ti-6Al-4V, titanium alloy has been developed using Deform 3D FE software. Milling was done experimentally under different speeds and feed rates using a Tungsten carbide end mill cutter. The cutting forces obtained from FEM study were compared and validated with the experimental results. The machinability of the Titanium alloy was investigated using cutting forces and chip microstructure.
