Titanium alloys are fascinating materials due to their unique high strength–weight ratio that are maintained even at elevated temperatures, exceptional fracture and corrosion resistance characteristics along with their compatibility over polymers composite materials. On the other hand, titanium and its alloys are notorious for their poor thermal properties and high reactivity with cutting tools which classifies as difficult-to-machine materials especially at higher cutting speeds. High Speed Machining (Vc ≥ 54 m/min) attracts huge benefit on material removal rate, machining time, cutting forces, heat removal and tool life. To enhance machinability, the effect of the rake angle on the cutting force and temperature must be thoroughly understood. In order to overcome the machinability issues associated with machining of Ti alloys, an attempt has been made in this study to observe the effect of rake angle, speed, feed rate on the cutting forces and temperature along with chip formation in orthogonal turning process supported through out with AdvantEdge FEA. A total of 48 experiments were performed with four different rake angles at three different higher spindle speeds along with four different levels of feed with a constant depth of cut of 2.75mm. Final arguments support over small positive rake angle along with high spindle speeds and small feed values for low temperature and better surface finish. AdvantEdge FEA comparison shows close agreement with experimental results particularly at higher spindle speeds and feed levels suggesting them as better option for further advancement in high speed turning of titanium alloys.
