The effect of tool materials on machinability of commercially pure titanium was discussed to examine the wear resistance and deposits on rake faces of six kinds of tools. It was found that the cutting performance of CBN and SiN tools lost quickly for chipping on the cutting edge. Wear of the carbide and diamond compax tool increased slowly in comparison with the CBN and SiN tools. From EPMA observations of the deposits on the rake faces it was suggested that tool wear was accelated by diffusion and adherence between the work and tool materials.
