Purpose: The aim of this work is to provide an in-depth understanding of the surface texture produced by various workpiece inclination angles using high speed finish ball end-milling of the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V. Design/methodology/approach: This paper presents an approach to develop a mathematical model of surface roughness in end-milling by the experimental design methodology. Machining variables such as cutting speed, feed and radial depth of cut, which are easily controllable, are considered in building the model. The influence of the workpiece inclination angle on the surface roughness of the machined workpiece was also investigated. Findings: According to the mathematical model, an increase in either the feed or the radial depth of cut increases the surface roughness, whilst an increase in cutting speed decreases it. The radial depth of cut ae is the most significant parameter in the model. Results analysis of the 2D/3D surface roughness parameters of the machined parts shows the improvement of the surface roughness quality when it is machined with a workpiece inclination angle of 25°. Research limitations/implications: As perspectives of this work, we can study the influence of the different machining strategies on the surface integrity of this titanium alloy, including the study of the residual stress. Practical implications: We propose to study the improvement of the surface quality of the orthopedic prostheses, which is an influencing parameter in their lifetime, by implementing the high speed cutting technique. The mathematical model of the surface roughness is a very important result of this work. In fact, it allows selecting the best cutting conditions to obtain a better workpiece surface quality. Originality/value: In this work, three dimensional surface roughness parameters were studied: the 3D surface topographies were obtained using a 3D measurement station and the mathematical model of Sa. The arithmetic mean deviation of the surface was established in order to minimize the experimental works and to have an idea about the surface roughness evolution as a function of cutting parameters.
