EN This paper describes findings in the surface topography of Ti6Al4V alloy after finish turning process under dry and MQL (minimum quantity lubrication) machining. The research was fulfilled in the range of variable feeds per revolution of 0.005-0.25 mm/rev and cutting speeds of 40-100 m/min using the depth of cut of 0.25 mm that fits finish processing conditions. The test plan was developed on the way to use the Parameter Space Investigation (PSI) method. The topography features were measured by a Sensofar S Neox optical profilometer using the Imaging Confocal Microscopy technique. Ra parameters and surface roughness profiles as well as 2D images and contour maps were analyzed. Under the studied machining conditions, lower Ra roughness parameters are obtained in the feed rate of 0.005-0.1 mm/rev and cutting speeds of 40-60 m/min. In comparison with dry machining, up to 17% reduction in Ra parameter values was obtained using the MQL method and vc = 70 m/min and f = 0.127 mm/rev as well as vc = 47.5 m/min and f = 0.22 mm/rev. Depending on the machining conditions, peaks and pits as well as feed marks typical for the turning process are observed on the machined surfaces.
