Abstract

Ti6Al4V is the most widely used titanium alloy and is a demanding material in applications requiring high specific strength and corrosion resistance, that is, aerospace, automobile and biomedical industries. However, the poor machinability of this alloy, resulting from its low thermal conductivity, high hardness at elevated temperatures, high chemical reactivity with the cutting tool and low elastic modulus, restricts its usage. As a result, the tool life in machining of Ti6Al4V is substantially less than conventional materials such as steel and aluminium. This work reviews the various techniques employed in improving the machinability of Ti6Al4V alloy, from the perspective of cutting tool technology. The focus is onto the parameters affecting tool life in machining of Ti6Al4V alloy with some trending techniques and their feasibility, considering the economics to develop the best techno-economic method.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
