Is cnc machining of titanium alloy difficult?
Titanium alloy plays an integral role in the field of mechanical processing because of its unique properties. However, many people believe that processing titanium alloys is a considerable challenge. Compared with other materials, we can say that titanium is a hard nut to crack.
Cnc machining of titanium alloys
First of all, titanium alloy cnc machining process will produce a lot of heat, damage the surface of the parts, thus affecting product quality.
Secondly, titanium alloy has a high hardness and thickness, and the chip breaking formed during the processing may entangle the tool, making it unable to work normally, and it is almost impossible to realize the automation of titanium processing.
How to process titanium alloy correctly?
1. Titanium alloy CNC machining requires geometric positive angle tools to reduce cutting force, cutting heat and workpiece deformation. By using "down milling", arc machining ends with a 45 degree chamfer, which helps reduce tool damage.
2. High pressure and large flow coolant helps to ensure the thermal stability of the machining process and prevent the surface degradation and tool damage caused by overheating.
3. Work in the softest state of titanium alloy as much as possible, because the material becomes more difficult to machine after hardening.
The difficulty of titanium metal processing also makes its products unique. For more help on titanium processing, you can contact our experienced Vermeer engineers at any time to obtain customized titanium alloy CNC processing solutions.
