Abstract

In this paper, the effects of different coolant supply strategies (using flood coolant, dry cutting, and minimum quantity of lubricant [MQL]) on cutting performance in continuous and interrupted turning process of Ti6Al4V are investigated. Based on the observation of the cutting forces with the different coolant supply strategies, the mean friction coefficient in the sliding region at the tool–chip interface has been obtained and used in a finite element method (FEM) to simulate the deformation process of Ti6Al4V during turning. From the FEM simulation and Oxley’s predictive machining theory, cutting forces have been estimated under different coolant supply strategies and verified experimentally.
