Investigation of High-Speed Milling and High Efficiency Milling of Ti6Al4V

Abstract

Ti6Al4V a Titanium alloy, is one of the prominent materials used in spacecraft components and it is a difficult to machine material. In this paper and experimental investigation is carried out to compare High Efficiency Milling (HEM) and High-Speed Milling (HSM) of Ti6Al4V. The MRR, surface roughness and tool wear were determined from the investigation. From the work it was found out that the MRR for HEM was less than that of HSM, while surface roughness variation was less and no significant tool wear was observed for HEM strategy.
