Abstract

Machined titanium components, such as medical prosthesis, require the greatest reliability, which is determined by process induced surface integrity. However, surface integrity of milled titanium components easily deteriorates due to the poor machinability of titanium alloys and cyclic chip loading during milling. Milling induced surface integrity, including anisotropic surface roughness, residual stress, surface microstructure alterations and microhardness, has received little attention. In the present study, a series of end milling experiments were conducted to comprehensively characterise surface integrity at various milling conditions of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V with TiAlN coated carbide cutting tools. The experiments were carried out under dry cutting conditions. For a range of cutting speeds, feeds and depths of cut, analyses of machined surface roughness, residual stress, microhardness and the microstructural observations were carried out. The present work aims to evaluate the influence of different milling conditions on workpiece surface integrity.
