Some observations on flood and dry finish turning of the Ti-6Al-4V aerospace alloy with carbide and PCD tools
Abstract
The Ti-6Al-4V aerospace alloy is a difficult-to-cut material due to its low thermal conductivity and high strength. To reduce the total machining cost and meet environmental standards, dry machining of titanium alloys could present an attractive option to industry. This study seeks to compare and observe flood and dry finish turning of the Ti-6Al-4V using uncoated carbide and polycrystalline diamond (PCD) tools. Cutting with carbide tools was …
