Evaluation of the influence of a wear-resistant coating on the process of turning a titanium alloy

Abstract

The results of a study of the machinability of titanium alloy VT1-0 are presented. The influence of the wear-resistant coating of the cutting tool on the cutting forces is analyzed. It is shown that when turning with a cutting tool without a wear-resistant coating, the cutting forces and friction force are lower than when turning with a tool with a coating. Based on the applied Taguchi method, effective cutting conditions were selected, at which maximum productivity is achieved
