Statistical Analysis of Cutting Force, Temperature and Power of FEM Modeling when Machining Titanium Alloy
FEM analysis was performed on design of experiment (DoE) according to Taguchi plan L9 (34). In order to overcome the machinability issues associated with machining of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, an attempt has been made in this study to observe the effect of friction coefficient, cutting speed, feed rate and cutting edge radius and on cutting force, temperature and power in 2D orthogonal cutting process supported through out with Third Wave Systems’ AdvantEdge. The comparison between the predicted cutting force, temperature and power at varying of friction coefficient, cutting speed, feed rate and cutting edge radius are presented and discussed. Evaluation of obtained results was processed by the statistical software Minitab 16.
