Titanium Alloy Processing

Introduction

Titanium alloys are mostly used in aerospace structures that require high strength. The materials are difficult to obtain, the hardness is about the same as high-strength steel, the density, and the thermal conductivity is low. Because of the extremely low thermal conductivity, more than 60% of the heat will be concentrated in the cutting surface and the cutting point of the workpiece, such material characteristics cause difficulties in processing

Processing characteristics

High-temperature alloys are difficult to cut which requires a high-rigid structure and high-torque spindle to meet the demand. The most important thing is to have an excellent spindle cooling system.
