Chip formation during dry turning of Ti6Al4V alloy has been examined in association with dynamic cutting force measurements under different cutting speeds, feed rates and depths of cut. Both continuous and segmented chip formation processes were observed in one cut under conditions of low cutting speed and large feed rate. The slipping angle in the segmented chip was 551, which was higher than ...

This paper presents the development of a cutting force model for end milling process under various cutting conditions and the tool wear is measured by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM).This novel approach combines the concept of experimental design and finite element modeling of the cutting process which allows for a fairly accurate prediction of cutting forces with a significantly lower compu...
