In this paper, the cutting experiment was used to study the influence of various cutting parameters on cutting force when rough turning titanium alloy (TC4) with the whole CBN tool. The results indicate that among the cutting speed, feed rate and cutting depth, the influence of the cutting depth is the most significant on cutting force; the next is the feed rate and the cutting speed is at least.

Titanium alloys are extensively applied in the aircraft manufacturing due to their excellent mechanical and physical properties. At present, the α + β alloy Ti6Al4V is the most commonly used titanium alloy in the industry. However, the highest temperature that it can be used only up to 300 °C. BTi-6431S is one of the latest developed high temperature titanium alloys, which belongs to the near-α alloy group and has considerably high tensile strength at 650 °C. This paper investigates the machinability of BTi-6431S in the terms of cutting forces, chip formation and tool wear. The experiments are carried out in a range of cutting parameters and the results had been investigated and analyzed. The investigation shows that: (1) the specific cutting forces in the machining of BTi-6431S alloy are higher than in the machining of Ti6Al4V alloy; (2) the regular saw-tooth chips more easily formed and the shear bands are narrower in the machining of BTi-6431S; (3) SEM and EDS observations of the worn tools indicate that more cobalt elements diffuse into the workpiece from tool inserts during machining of BTi-6431S alloy, which significantly aggravates tool wear rate. The experimental results indicate that the machinability of BTi-6431S near alpha titanium alloy is significantly lower than Ti-6Al-4V alloy.

To select reasonable cutting parameters, improve the processing surface quality, and extend the tool life, this paper uses four solid carbide end milling tools to process TC4 titanium alloy, and analyses the influence of the difference cutting parameters and the geometric angles to chip shape. The experiment results indicate that the degree of serrated chip shape is increased by increasing the feed rate under the condition of certain spindle speed. But the degree of serrated chip shape may be decreased by the adoption of small axial and radial depth, or bigger rake angle and smaller helix angle. Select larger rake angle, cutting edge is sharp, the metal deformation of cutting layer is small, which can reduce the friction force when chip flowing through the tool rake face, so that the cutting force and cutting temperature decreases accordingly.The greater the helix angle is, the worse the chip removal conditions is, and the degree of serrated chip becomes larger, the blade is more sharp, easily crack, and the tool life decreases. So relatively small helix angle is better. The choice of angles is interrelated with each other, the selection of some angle separately cannot get the desired reasonable value.

The mechanism of surface cracks penetration testing are studied, as well as, the cracks’ width and depth of penetration testing formulas are given in the paper, which provide the basis for TC4 titanium alloy structure's penetration testing. The process of fluorescent penetrating testing is analyzed, and the result that detection experiments of TC4 titanium alloy structure's surface crack indicating the changes in the curvature is larger the structure is easier to produce surface cracks. The reason that the surface cracks of structure of TC4 titanium alloy is theoretical analyzed and experimental studied. In process of machining TC4 titanium, cutting parameters are important factors causing stress concentration, particularly, the larger cutting depth will generate surface cracks.
