Abstract

The good properties of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy make it widely used, but at the same time, make it difficult to machine. One of the factors which influence the machinability of metal alloys is coefficient of friction, which can be lowered by multiple cooling and lubricating methods. In the present work the influence of coefficient of friction on the turning process of Ti- 6Al-4V was analyzed based on the FEM simulations conducted in DEFORM 2D/3D software. It was proven that the coefficient of friction influenced the cutting force and thrust force. It was also shown that the coefficient of friction had a significant impact on the chip compression ratio.
