Abstract
To polish to hard-to-cut titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V), a method employing a lapping tape is proposed and titanium alloy polishing fluids are developed. The effects of each of the components of a soluble polishing fluid on the polishing characteristics, such as surface roughness, tangential polishing resistance, and stock removal, are investigated through experiments. The results indicate that polishing only with a potassium oleate solution, which is a long-chain fatty acid solution, creates the best surface. A fatty acid is focused on, and the effects on the polishing characteristics of changing the carbon number are studied. As a result, it is found that surface roughness can be suppressed when titanium alloy is polished with only a fatty acid surfactant solution of carbon number 12 or higher.
