Study on the impact of tool fabrication combining micro-texture, coating, and edge rounding techniques on surface integrity in titanium alloy milling
摘要
Maintaining high surface integrity in Ti-6Al-4 V milling remains challenging because severe force–thermal coupling accelerates tool wear and exacerbates surface damage. Although coating, edge passivation, and micro-texturing have each been shown to improve machinability, their coupled effects on titanium alloy surface integrity, particularly at specific texture scales, remain insufficiently understood. In this study, a micro-textured coating blunt edge (MTCBE) tool was evaluated in Ti-6Al-4 V milling to clarify its effects on key surface integrity indicators. Relative to a coating blunt edge (CBE) tool, the MTCBE tool reduced surface roughness from 0.456 to 0.404
