Abstract
Due to its excellent strength, plasticity, and fracture toughness, titanium alloy has been widely used in the aerospace field. The specificity of its application environment places high demands on the surface quality of titanium alloy. In this paper, we study the effects of different lubrication methods on the microscopic topography, surface roughness, and microhardness of titanium alloy TC21 during the milling process. The lubrication methods include dry, high-pressure air cooling, and minimum quantity lubrication (MQL). Compared with dry milling and high-pressure air cooling conditions, the MQL environment can effectively suppress plastic deformation and surface defects of titanium alloy TC21. MQL is significant for improving the milling process of titanium alloy TC21. In addition, a surface roughness model considering milling vibration is developed. According to the results of orthogonal experiments, the prediction accuracy of the surface roughness model is acceptable, and the prediction errors are all below 20%.
