This chapter reviews the main difficulties impairing the machinability of titanium alloys. The overview of machinability of titanium alloys is presented with respect to the following performance criteria: cutting tool wear/tool life, cutting forces, chip formation, and surface integrity attributes, mainly surface roughness. Thereafter, the effects of various lubrication and cooling methods in machining titanium alloys is also discussed. Furthermore, a case study on the metallic particle emission when machining Ti-6A1-4V is also presented.
