Tool coatings can improve the machinability performance of difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium alloys. Therefore, in the current work, high-speed milling of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy was carried out to determine the performance of various coated cutting tools. Five types of coated carbide inserts – monolayer TiCN, AlTiN, TiAlN and two layers TiCN + TiN and AlTiN + TiN, which were deposited by physical vapour deposition – were employed in the experiments. Tool wear, cutting force, surface roughness and chip morphology were evaluated and compared for different coated tools. To understand the tool wear modes and mechanisms, detailed scanning electron microscope analysis combined with energy dispersive X-ray of the worn inserts were conducted. Abrasion, adhesion, chipping and mechanical crack on flank face and coating delamination, adhesion and crater wear on rake face were observed during high-speed milling of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. In terms of tool wear, the lowest value was obtained with TiCN-coated insert. It was also found that at the beginning of the machining pass TiAlN-coated insert and at the end of machining TiCN-coated insert gave the lowest cutting force and surface roughness values. No change in chip morphology was observed with different coated inserts.

Tool wear is easy occurred in titanium alloy milling process which will affect the surface quality. Surface roughness and surface morphology as an important index to describe and evaluate the surface quality has a great influence on service performance. Therefore, the study on the effect of tool wear on surface qualities is important to improve the surface integrity of titanium alloy parts. Cutting radius of ball-end milling cutter is solved to analyze the effect of tool wear on the cutting radius. The tool wear and the surface qualities of TC4 are achieved through wear experiment. And then the influence law of tool wear on surface qualities and chip morphology are analyzed. The results show that surface roughness value decrease firstly and then increases and that chip morphology with flank wear increase from the unit chip to the serrated chip.

The chip slenderness ratio is a vital parameter in theoretical and applicable machining operations. In predrilled drilling operations of AISI 1050 steel alloy, HSS drills were employed, and the effect of the selected parameters on the chip slenderness ratio and also the effect of the chip slenderness ratio on the thrust force, surface roughness, drilled hole delamination, tool wear, and chip morphology were investigated. The major parameters, influential on the chip slenderness ratio, were feed rate and point angle, while spindle speed was too small to be negligible. With increasing the chip slenderness ratio, the thrust force and the tool wear decreased, which resulted in appropriate chip morphology, but there were increases in surface roughness. However, the chip slenderness ratio had no effect on the drilled hole delamination.
