Abstract

An investigation was reported on the cutting temperature in milling Ti6Al4V by applying semi-artificial thermocouple. ANOVA was conducted on the experimental results, and regression models were obtained. Analysis results showed that the tool temperature and workpiece temperature performed a similar rising trend with the increase of cutting parameters, including cutting speed, feed rate, radial feed, and axial feed. And their influence degrees decreased successively. The cutting force with different cutting parameters was also measured, and the relationship between cutting temperature and cutting force was discussed. It was found that cutting temperature and cutting force obtained in the experiment had the same fluctuation feature. Therefore, the cutting force and cutting temperature could complement each other for monitoring and analysis of the cutting process.
