Cutting Forces during Inconel 718 Orthogonal Turn-Milling

Inconel 718 is a material often used in the aerospace and marine industries due to its properties and ability to work in harsh environments. However, its machining is difficult, and therefore methods are sought to facilitate this process. One of such methods is turn-milling. This paper presents the forces during orthogonal turn-milling of the Inconel 718 alloy. In this machining, both the side and the end edge are involved in the material removal, which causes the tool to be more loaded. The forces during turn-milling can be up to 50% higher than in the case of milling, which causes damage to the tool. Tool wear during machining has a significant impact on the values of the cutting force proportional coefficients. In the case of the tested material, it is important to take it into account when creating cutting force models.
