EFFECT OF PREHEATING ON CUTTING FORCE AND MACHINING PERFORMANCE OF TITANIUM ALLOY TI-6AL-4V
The present paper examines the impact of preheating a titanium alloy on cutting force and surface quality during turning. The primary objective of the present study is to ascertain how variations in workpiece temperature prior to machining affect the technological parameters of the cutting process, specifically cutting force and the surface roughness parameter Ra. The experimental portion of the study involved the turning of a Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy workpiece at numerous preheating temperatures, including room temperature, 300°C, 400°C, 500°C, and 600°C.
