This article presents the results of laboratory tests involving the measurement of cutting forces during the orthogonal turning of a tube made of GRADE 2 titanium alloy. The nominal diameter of the turned tube was D = 60 mm, and its wall thickness was 2.77 mm. For research purposes, a Kennametal chisel with an insert marked A3G0500M05P04DF and a holder marked A3SAR2520M0425-075-100 was used. An experimental research plan for variable cutting parameters (f, vc) was developed according to the Taguchi method and statistical analysis of the results was performed using an ANOVA. Three series of tests were performed, one for each of the three different values of tube wall thickness (ap = 2.77, 1.77, 0.5 mm). In accordance with the prepared test plan, nine trials were conducted within each series. Cutting forces were measured during each test with the use of a 3-axis Kisler 9257B piezoelectric dynamometer. DynoWare computer software was used for the archiving and analysis of measurement results.

Streszczenie
Artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań laboratoryjnych pomiaru sił skrawania podczas toczenia ortogonalnego rury z tytanu GRADE 2. Nominalna średnica toczonej rury wynosiła D = 60 mm, natomiast grubość ścianki 2,77 mm. Do badań wykorzystano przecinak firmy Kennametal o oznaczeniu płytki A3G0500M05P04DF, zamontowanej w oprawce A3SAR2520M0425-075-100. Eksperymentalny plan badań dla zmiennych parametrów skrawania (f, vc) opracowano według metody Taguchi, natomiast statystyczne opracowanie wyników wykonano za pomocą analizy ANOVA. W czasie prac zostały przeprowadzone trzy serie prób trzech różnych wartości grubości ścianki rury (ap = 2,77; 1,77; 0,5 mm). W ramach każdej serii zgodnie z opracowanym planem badań wykonano 9 prób. Pomiar sił skrawania był realizowany w każdej próbie za pomocą 3-osiowego siłomierza piezoelektrycznego Kisler 9257B. Do archiwizacji i analizy wyników pomiarów zastosowano program komputerowy DynoWare.
