Development of surface roughness models in end milling titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V using uncoated tungsten carbide inserts by Ginta, Turnad Lenggo, Amin, A. K. M. Nurul, Che Daud, Mohd Radzi, Lajis, Mohd Amri

“…This paper focuses on developing an effective methodology to determine the performance of uncoated WC-Co inserts in predicting minimum surface roughness in end milling of titanium alloys Ti-6Al-4V under dry conditions. Central composite design of response surface methodology is employed to create an efficient analytical model for surface roughness in terms of cutting parameters: cutting speed, axial depth of cut, and feed per tooth. …”
