Nowadays, titanium has become an important material mainly used in engineering application because of its excellent mechanical and physical property, for example, aircraft, aero-engines, biomedical devices and components in chemical processing equipments. However, the machining of titanium is getting tougher as tool wear is a common phenomenon happened during machining operations due to the frictions and forces produced when the cutting tool is in contact with the workpiece. The kind of chips produced from the machining operation may contribute to certain tool wear and cause the cutting tool life to be lowered.
