Abstract

This paper deals with the machining issues of two titanium alloys using two cutting tools. With respect to the given issue, a larger part of the article is devoted to metallographic analysis of both materials. The following is a description of the tools and machining conditions. Further, there is a description of a milling test of both alloys by end mills while sensing the force load by piezoelectric dynamometer. The last section evaluates and compares the obtained data. Based on the information obtained, the conclusion evaluates the problems encountered when machining, which correspond to the material properties.
