Abstract

The Ti-1023 beta alloy titanium is used in aeronautics for the production of structure parts such as landing gear and as most of titanium alloys its machinability is poor explained by its physical and mechanical properties. This work presents the machinability results carried out for Ti-1023 milling in using toroidal tool. The aim of this research is the understanding of tool wear mechanisms and to establish the relation between cutting conditions, milling tool geometry, and tool life. A section is also devoted to the chip analysis. The wear modes are also analyzed and defined for different cutting tool geometries where several steps occur. This study is focus on material removal rate, tool life, and volume.
