Edges formation of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy parts upon brushing

Abstract

Edge state plays an important role in the assembly process of the components of finished products. After machining, burrs can appear on the edges of the objects. This concerns such popular machining methods as drilling, milling, turning, etc. Labour consumption of deburring is related to the material properties of the workpiece which influence the strength of the connection between the burr base and the edge of the object. In the case of almost unworkable materials, deburring process can be associated with the intensification of machining energy around the edges with burrs. The paper presents the results of the effect of brushing process on the edges formation of the objects made of Ti6Al4V titanium alloy produced in the milling process. Edge states after deburring with the use of brushing process was determined. The fixed parameters of milling and the variable conditions of brushing were used. Based on studies conclusions were formed.
