This paper deals with an investigation of the grindability of Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V with monolayered brazed type superabrasive grinding wheels. The experiments, conducted under different grinding environments, showed the performance of the grinding fluids based on an evaluation of grinding forces, chip formation and tool condition. It could be found that conventional grinding fluids like oil or alkaline soap are preferable compared to dry or cryogenic conditions or with MoS2 coated wheels. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
