Titanium alloy, Ti6Al4V, has been widely used in aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and chemical industries due to its exceptional strength to weight ratio, high temperature performance, and corrosion resistance. However, machinability of Ti6Al4V is poor due to high strength at elevated temperatures, low modulus, and low thermal conductivity. Poor machinability of Ti6Al4V deteriorates the surface integrity of the machined surface. Poor surface integrity causes high machining cost, surface defects, initiate cracks, and premature failure of the machined surface. Thus, it is indispensable to obtain better surface integrity when machining titanium alloy Ti6Al4V. Cutting parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut have significant effect on the surface integrity when machining titanium alloy Ti6Al4V. Hence, this study investigates surface integrity of Ti6Al4V by ball end milling at different cutting speeds, feed rates, and depth of cuts. Microstructure of subsurface is studied at different cutting speeds, feed rates, and depth of cuts. The results show that the depth of deformation of subsurface increases with increase in the cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut. Journal of the Institute of Engineering, 2018, 14(1): 115-121

Processing certain kinds of micro-textures onto the surface of tools can improve their wear resistance, reduce the friction between them and machined surfaces, prolong their service life and improve their processing efficiency. When milling titanium alloy with ball-end milling cutters, the cutting force and the cutting heat causes plastic deformation and a concentration of stress on workpiece surfaces, damaging their surface integrity. In this paper, we report on a test involving the milling of titanium alloy, where a micro-texture was placed onto the front of a ball-end cutter and the surface roughness and work hardening of the machined surface were studied. The orthogonal experiment was designed around changes in the diameter of the micro-texture, its depth, the spacing between individual micro-pits, and its distance from the cutting edge. Data from the experiment was then used to assess the influence changes in the micro-texture parameters had upon the roughness and hardening of the surface. The data was processed and analyzed by using regression analysis and a prediction model for surface roughness and work hardening was established. The reliability of the model was then verified. The contents of this paper provide a theoretical basis for improving the cutting performance and the surface machining quality of cemented carbide tools.

AbstractThis paper presents the application of Response Surface Methodology (RSM) coupled with Teaching Learning Based Optimization Technique (TLBO) for optimizing surface integrity of thin cantilever type Inconel 718 workpiece in ball end milling. The machining and tool related parameters like spindle speed, milling feed, axial depth of cut and tool path orientation are optimized with considerations of multiple response like deflection, surface roughness, and micro hardness of plate. Mathematical relationship between process parameters and deflection, surface roughness and microhardness are found out by using response surface methodology. It is observed that after optimizing the process that at the spindle speed of 2,000 rpm, feed 0.05 mm/tooth/rev, plate thickness of 5.5 mm and 15° workpiece inclination with horizontal tool path gives favorable surface integrity.

The paper presents the surface integrity analysis in ball end milling of thin shaped cantilever plate of Inconel 718. It is noticed that the workpiece deflection has significantly contributed to machined surface integrity in terms of surface topography and subsurface microhardness. The ball end milling performed with 15° workpiece inclination with horizontal tool path produced higher surface integrity which varies with the location of machined surface region. In general, the mid portion of the machined plate shows lower surface roughness and microhardness with less surface defects.
