Abstract

The grinding process of Titanium (Ti) alloys is extremely difficult as the cutting temperature is much higher than other machining processes due to the low thermal conductivity, high chemical reactivity, and rapid work hardening during machining of Ti alloys. This research investigates the effect of technology parameters on the surface roughness in the surface grinding of Ti–6Al–4V (Ti64) alloy with resinoid cBN grinding wheel. The experimental results show that the surface roughness is significantly affected by the feed rate, depth of cut (DOC) and cooling condition. Increasing feed rate or DOC all provides the higher surface roughness. The surface roughness obtained in the wet grinding is higher than those of the dry cutting. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of Ti64 surfaces show that the machining surface with fewer defects can be produced with wet grinding process.
