Titanium alloys gained a rapid pace in the recent decades, its high mechanical properties, high strength to weight ratio, extra-ordinary crrosion resistance and biocompatibility made it highly demandable. Ti alloys are repoted to be hard to mechane. This thesis present mathematical modeling based ob statistics from experiments for machining responses; flank wear, surface roughness, cutting forces, cutting power, specific cutting energy, chip comperssion ratio and serration ratio for Ti-6Al-4V using responses surface methodology, in order to study the influence of cutting speeed, feed rate and depth of cut using different cutting inserts and cooling conditions during longitudinal turning in a two sets of experiments "roughing" and "finishing"
