Machining Characteristics of Titanium Ti-6Al-4V, Inconel 718 and Tool Steel-A Critical Review

Abstract

Machining of hard material is always a big challenge for industrial application point of view. However, machining of this hard material is possible by taking appropriate machining parameters. Titanium Ti-6Al-4, Inconel 718 and Tool Steel are also very hard material. In this study, comparative machining study of these materials was discussed. From the exhaust literature of these materials, it was observed that machining of all these three types of hard material is possible with good surface finish by taking appropriate machining parameters.
