Abstract
Plunge milling is an interesting production mean for machining deep workpieces. It is identified as a process potentially able to afford significant gains in productivity during the roughing phases, especially in the case of workpieces made of hard materials. Within this paper, a study of cutting forces in plunge milling of titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V is conducted. Several types of inserts provided by manufacturing tools suppliers with various cutting angles, type of chip breaker and nose radius, are exploited along with different cutting parameters. The results show the influence of the geometrical parameters and cutting parameters on the cutting forces, and give various information to establish next the optimal trajectories of the tool during plunge milling operations on titanium alloys, according to the type of workpieces.
