The surface quality of the machined surface, such as the surface roughness, plays an important role in determining the final part of the product. Thus, the selection of the cutting parameters and cutting fluids during machining is crucial to determining the progression of the tool life as well as the surface quality of the machined surface. The objective of this paper is to analyse the effect of cutting parameters on the surface roughness and tool life during end milling of titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) using silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticle minimum quantity lubricant (MQL). In this paper, three cutting parameters were chosen: cutting speed of 20 and 40 m/min, feed rate of 0.2 and 0.3 mm/tooth, and depth of cut of 0.2 and 0.3 mm with two levels. The influence of cutting parameter combinations was evaluated using the Full Factorial method. From the results, it was observed that the depth of cut has the most significant effect on improving the surface roughness quality and extending the tool life compared with cutting speed and feed rate.
