Background
• Ti-alloys are known for their hardness and difficult in machining. These alloys
have higher thermal resistance, higher load bearing capacity and good corrosion
resistance.

• Applications of Ti-alloys:
1. Aerospace industry
2. Marine industry
3. Medical surgery
4. Dentistry

Objective of the research
The main objective of this research is to develop economic machining
parameters (cutting speed, feed rate and depth of cut) for sustainable
machining of Titanium α-β alloy (Ti-6Al-4V).

 This research will help to reduce production cost by the way of reducing
machining time but not negotiating with the surface integrity of the
products.
Problem Orientation

• Many industries are facing difficulties in machining Ti-alloys at


lower production cost and time with good surface quality.
• Researchers are trying to optimise the machining parameters to
produce more quality products.
