Titanium alloys, particularly Ti-6Al-4V, are widely used in many industries due to their high strength, low density, and corrosion resistance. However, machining these materials is challenging due to high strength at elevated temperatures, low thermal conductivity, and high chemical reactivity. This study investigates Recurrence Plot (RP) and Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) to analyze tool wear during the finish turning of Ti-6Al-4V.

To improve the properties of liquids used under MQL conditions, they are enriched with various types of micro- and nanoparticles. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the addition of graphite micropowder (GMP) on tool life, cutting force components, and selected surface roughness parameters during the finish turning of the Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy under MQL conditions.

Servicing aircraft engines sometimes requires manufacturing only a single piece of a given part. Manufacturing a turbine disc using traditional methods is uneconomical. It is necessary to use a different machining method recommended for small lot production.
