Optimization of Cutting Parameters in Turning of Titanium Alloy (Grade 5) by Analysing Surface Roughness, Tool Wear and Energy Consumption
Özet
In this study, Ti 6Al-4 V (grade 5) ELI alloy was machined with minimum energy and optimum surface quality and minimum tool wear. The appropriate cutting tool and suitable cutting parameters have been selected. As a result of the turning process, average surface roughness (Ra), tool wear and energy consumption were measured. The results have been analyzed by normality test, linear regression model, Taguchi analysis, ANOVA, Pareto graphics and multiple optimization method. It has been observed that high tool wear value increases Ra and energy consumption. In multiple optimization, it was concluded that it made predictions with 89,1% accuracy for Ra, 58,33% for tool wear, 96,75% for energy consumption. While the feed rate was the effective parameter for Ra and energy consumption, the effective parameter in tool wear was the cutting speed. Our study has revealed that by controlling energy consumption, surface quality can be maintained and tool wear can be controlled.
