Purpose: The aim of this research is to make a study about the influence of the tool trajectory's generation on its tool life and the improvement of the surface quality in multi-axis milling at high speed machining of the knee prostheses. The material used for this study is the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V ELI (TA6V ELI) for implant. Design/methodology/approach: The methodology has consisted on proving a serie of parameters combinations with various machining configurations and various programs of the tool trajectory's generation in three and five axes (the axis of the tool is maintained normal on the machined surface by rotation around Y axis; the axis of the tool is maintained according to axis Z; the axis of the tool is tilted around the Y axis). And determined the influence of the machining strategy over of the tool life. Findings: The knee prostheses are constructed with important mechanical resistance materials with complex form, which require high performance cutting tools and high cost. The good generation's trajectory of the cutting tool in multi-axes milling permits to minimize flank wear. High speed Machining offers a considerable profit in the capacity of surface quality, duration of the machining and polishing operations and consequently in improvement productivity. But the choice of the cutting speed must be recommended by the couple tool-materials. Research limitations/implications: A possible future work would be the development of a general the phenomenal of the residual stress of various machining configurations and various programs of the tool trajectory's generation and the knee protheses life. The behaviour of the residual stress studies are planed in the future. Practical implications: The relationship found between the milling strategy on the tool life and surface quality work piece has an important practical implication since it allows selecting the best cutting condition for knee prostheses. Results are of great importance in the quality of articulation surface so the cartilage in medicine industry. Originality/value: The paper is original since the bibliographical review has allowed testing that, although works about these themes exist, none approaches the problem like it has been made in this work. This paper could be an interesting source of information for engineers and researchers who work with machining knee prostheses.

Purpose: The aim of this research is to make a study of the effective cutting speed variation in milling with a ball end tool. Then an experimental study of the effect of finishing strategies on surface texture, roughness is described. The material of a specific HB 300 pre-hardened mould steel Super Plast (SP 300). Design/methodology/approach: The methodology has consisted to determine cutting speed of each mode of tilt tool in five axes machining, and of proving a series of configurations and parameters combinations: cutting speed Vc, feed rate Vf, and tilt tool in multi-axis milling. Findings: This paper has investigated the effect of the tool orientation on the variation effective cutting speed, on the surface texture, while multi-axis milling. Experimental results have shown that disadvantages of three axes machining results from the existence of very low cutting speeds, even null when the tool axis is normal to the machined surface. This mode of machining generates a bad surface quality. Surfaces have a poor topography and important anisotropy. A suitable slope of the cutting tool by the means of the fifth machine tool axis, improves considerably work piece machined surface quality; Good micro-geometrical surface topography and lower surface roughness. Research limitations/implications: A possible future work would be the development of a general the phenomenal of the residual stress of the cutting on the five axis machining. The behavior of the residual stress studies are planed in the future. Practical implications: The relationship found between the effective cutting speed and surface texture work piece has an important practical implication since it allows selecting the best cutting condition combination from the points of view both the security and the economy for the established requirements in each case. Results are of great importance in for aerospace and automotive industry. Originality/value: The paper is original since the bibliographical review has allowed testing that, although works about these themes exist, none approaches the problem like it has been made in work.

Purpose: The aim of this research is to make a first experimental analysis of the effect of the cutting speed on the chip morphology, and of the cutting forces in the orthogonal turning process of the titanium alloys Ti-6Al-4V. Design/methodology/approach: The methodology has consisted of proving a series of parameters combinations: f, feed rate, Vc, cutting speeds are explored in a range from 50 to 250 m/min, and is analyzing the different types of chips and the evolution cutting forces appeared during each one them, and determined the analytical model of plastic deformation ratio. Findings: Tests achieved have shown three main types of chips: Continuous chip at 50 m/min, Flow chip for speeds ranging around 100 m/min, and Shear localized chip starting from the transition speed of 125 m/min and above. The modification of the mechanism of chip formation is associated with the appearance of shearing instability. Chip segmentation by shear localisation is an important process which is observed within a certain range of cutting speeds. This phenomenon might be desirable in reducing the level of the cutting forces by improving chip's evacuation. Research limitations/implications: A possible future work would be the development of a general the phenomenal of the thermo mechanical of the cutting high speed machining. The behavior is of the thermo - visco - plastic studies are planed in the future. Practical implications: The relationship found between high speed machining and chip morphology and the cutting forces and work piece surface finish has an important practical implication since it allows selecting the best cutting condition combination from the points of view both the security and the economy for the established requirements in each case. Results are of great importance in for aerospace, biomedical and automotive industry. Originality/value: The paper is original since the bibliographical review has allowed testing that, although works about these themes exist, none approaches the problem like it has been made in work.
