Abstract :Abstract: Force measurement and the surface texture characteristics on Ti-6Al-4V have been studied experimentally at up grinding condition. Grinding of Ti-6Al-4V is tough; because it creates wheel loading, lumped mass creating, wheel sticking at the time of operation, but grinding is essential because it is one of the machining processes which offer better mass production as well as it is techno economical too. Titanium alloy bar is grinded in dry condition with silicon carbide (coarse, fine) grinding wheel with the feed variation of 0.1 to 10μm and depth of cut variation of 1 to 5 μm. Micro structural properties are also studied on the grinded surface with the help of digital electron microscope.
