RESUMO

Among the various applications where titanium and its alloys are employed, the aeronautic industry is one of the most important, because of their excellent properties such as fracture strength, corrosion resistance and high strength to weight ratio, which is maintained at high temperatures. However, the machinability of titanium and its alloys is generally considered poor due to some of their characteristics as low thermal conductivity, chemical reactivity with most tool materials, high resistance to mechanical work at high temperature and low youngs modulus, etc. Ultraprecision diamond turning has been carried out in order to determine the behaviour of commercially pure Ti and the most used alloy ((Ti-6Al-4V). Cutting fluid has been applied in the form of mist (~100 ml/hora) during the experiments. A high stiffness and high precision machine tool has been used (positioning precision of 10 nm). Scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Vickers microhardness test and contact and optical perfilometry have been used to characterize the machined surfaces. The surface damage observed due to the interaction tool-workpiece have been associated with the known phenomenon of delamination. The microhardness results presented an increase of the order of 85% for Ti (CP) and of 77% for the Ti-6Al-4V alloy after machining. The lowest values for Ra are around 30 nm for Ti (CP) and 46 nm for Ti-6Al-4V and the lowest values of Rt for Ti (CP) are about 590 nm and 416 nm for the Ti-6Al-4V, for the same conditions. The ultraprecision machining of titanium and its alloys may be an efficient alternative for finish operations resulting in better surface integrity.
