In order to contribute to wider practical application of environmentally friendly near-dry machining, this research aims to show that near-dry machining is applicable to cutting of difficult-to-cut materials, such as titanium alloys, and successful cutting can be attained with a very small quantity of oil and coolant. This study therefore investigated the cutting performance of near-dry machining with oil mist, with coolant mist and with hybrid mists, which were the combination of oil and coolant mists, in turning of the Ti-6AL-4V titanium alloy. As the result, near-dry machining with hybrid mists showed the good cutting performance that is almost equal to flood emulsion supply method in a point of view of cutting temperature and the tool life.
