Effects of Machining Parameters on Feed Direction Cutting Forces in Meso-Scale End-Milling of Ti-6Al-4V Under Dry, Wet and MQL Environment

High strength, resistance to corrosion, small density and remarkable strength weight ratio of titanium distinguish it from other metals is a reason for its use in renowned industrial setups like bio-medical, automotive, aeronautics, power generation industries. However, these are considered as difficult-to-machine elements because less heat conductivity, minimum value modulus elasticity, substantial chemical reactivity elevated temperature strength. Ti-6Al-4V regarded major alloy focus research studies. Measurement analysis machining forces provides deep insight into the mechanics assist understanding machinability, tool wear / fracture, precision, chatter stability, energy, surface quality temperature. This further helps finding optimum machinability parameters different materials. Machining affected by number factors including cutting conditions lubrication cooling environment. In this research, milling under three environments i.e. Dry, Wet MQL (Minimum Quantity Lubrication) along with effects during meso-scale has been conducted. End experiments have performed basing on Taguchi L9 orthogonal array optimal combination parameters, keeping spindle speed, depth cut, feed per tooth control factors. Contribution ratios environment direction analyzed through ANOVA.
