In this study, we show that optimising cutting forces as a machining response gave the most favourable conditions for turning of Ti-6Al-4V alloy. Using a combination of computational methods involving DEFORM simulations, Taguchi Design of Experiment (DOE) and analysis of variance (ANOVA), it was pos...
