Abstract:
This study examines tool wear during machining of titanium alloys. Suitable cutting tool material is selected on the basis of previous studies and tool wear during machining Ti-6Al-4V is measured and analyzed at different magnifications of microscope. This study also includes the analysis of tool wear using different coatings. Single and multi-layered coatings were deposited on cutting tool and their effect on tool wear is analyzed. Performance of multilayered coatings is observed to be much better and on this behalf recommendations are made regarding further study on multi-layered tool coatings
