Grinding is one of the technologies for surface finishing of large scale of material. This paper deals with grinding of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V with silicon carbide grinding wheel. Ti6Al4V is the most widely used titanium alloy. Its utilization can be found in medical, aerospace, chemical and other industries. This experiment deals with evaluating of surface roughness after grinding. The roughness parameters (Ra, Rz) were measured on each specimen ten times. Also cutting forces were measured while grinding each specimen. All these measured values were evaluated and presentated in graphs.

Keywords: grinding, surface integrity, titanium alloy, silicon carbide
