Abstract

Due to its high strength-to-weight ratio in which 40% lighter and closely matching the mechanical properties of steel, titanium alloy being used in military applications to reduced weight and increase durability in extreme conditions for improving the mobility and combat effectiveness. Titanium alloy are categorized as a difficult-to-cut material which have low machinability ratings. Problems in machining titanium alloy are mainly due to the high cutting temperatures, low modulus of elasticity of the material and chemical reactions with the tools. In order to improve titanium machining, selection of cutting tools with good machinability is very important. For manufacturers, selection of the best cutting tool types that can meets the machining performances i.e. fine surface roughness and high tool life alligned with the tool cost are necessitate in order to sustain in the competitive defence and military sector.
