Ceramic adhesives are made of an inorganic matrix with a filler (alumina, zirconia, silica, etc.), and they require a thermal cure cycle in order to establish adhesion. In this work, the adhesion between two different adhesive and Ti6Al4V is studied in details and the influence of the curing cycle is analyzed. Two different adhesives have been used, the first made of a phosphate matrix with an alumina filler, the second made of a silicate matrix wit an alumina filler. The results indicates that in the case of the first adhesive a high temperature cure it is necessary in order to establish a strong adhesion with the metal; on the contrary the second adhesive is capable to create a strong bonding already at low temperature.

Optimizing the cutting conditions could limit these degradations, which are more significant in the case of low thermal conductivity materials such as titanium alloys. Robust numerical modelling is a relevant alternative to such issues but must rely on strong in-process experimental measurements. Unfortunately, the confined nature of the cutting area during drilling prevent from any straight forward field-measurement. The proposed multi-scale strategy consists in validating the developed 3D FEM models both at micrometric and millimetric scales, using coupled full-field measurements. The limited access to the cutting area is overcome by means i) of oblique cutting tests at microscale and ii) tube drilling tests. Thermal fields are evaluated using an infrared camera while kinematic fields are determined by image correlation (DIC) using a high-speed camera. The experimental and numerical fields are then compared, and numerical results are extended over several revolutions by means of purely thermal 2D analytical model.

In this paper, experimental studies were carried out to evaluate the influence of several process parameters on surface integrity changes of Ti6Al4V alloy and to improve the overall process/product performance. In particular, orthogonal cutting operations were conducted varying the process parameters as cutting speed, feed rate and cooling conditions (dry, MQL and cryogenic cooling). Product quality specifications have been monitored in terms of microstructure, hardness modification, phase changes, also including tool wear analysis. Indeed, a systematic study is necessary since various factors are simultaneously involved, as well as changes during processing. Thus, due to the complexity of the process and the number of factors involved, the analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed to optimize the process through the identification of significant parameters to maximize the useful tool-life and minimize the time of production.

The modelling of orthogonal cutting process of Ti6Al4V attract the interest of many researchers as it often generates serrated chips. The purpose of this paper is to show the significant influence of cutting speed on chip formation during orthogonal cutting of Ti6Al4V along with different material constitutive models. Finite element analyses for chip formation are conducted for different cutting speeds and are investigated with well-known Johnson-Cook constitutive model, a modified Johnson–Cook model known as Hyperbolic Tangent (TANH) model that emphasizes the strain softening behavior and modified Johnson-Cook constitutive model that consider temperature dependent strain hardening factor. A 2D Lagrangian finite element model is adopted for the simulation of the orthogonal cutting process and the results from the simulations such as calculated forces, chip morphologies are analyzed and are compared with the experimental results to highlight the differences. The results analysis shows that, the temperature in the secondary deformation zone is directly proportional to the cutting speed.
