With regard to the titanium cutting
HB350 hardness greater than titanium bolts machining particularly difficult, less than HB300 is prone to stick a knife phenomenon, but also difficult to cut. However, only one aspect of the hardness of titanium machining difficult, the key is the combined effect of its machinability of chemical, physical and mechanical properties of titanium itself between. Cutting Titanium has the following characteristics:
(1) deformation coefficient is small: This is a significant feature of titanium machining, deformation coefficient is less than or close to one. Chip away the knife sliding friction surface greatly increases the previous accelerated tool wear.
((3) cutting force per unit area on the big: the main cutting force of about 20% smaller than when cutting steel, due to the length of the chip and the rake face contact is extremely short, the contact area on the cutting forces unit greatly increased, likely to cause chipping Meanwhile, because of the small elastic modulus of the titanium alloy, the processing in the radial force prone to bending deformation, causing vibration, increased tool wear and affects the accuracy of parts.
(4) Chilled serious: Because the chemical activity of titanium plates is large, at high cutting temperature, is easy to absorb oxygen in the air and nitrogen to form a hard and brittle skin; while plastic deformation during the cutting process can also cause surface hardening . Chilled phenomenon will not only reduce the fatigue strength of the parts, but also increased tool wear, is a very important feature when cutting titanium.
