Products Description
High-speed CNC Machining Of Metal Parts
Titanium alloy is currently one of the most attractive metallic materials for biomedical applications. In medicine, they are used in implant devices to replace failed hard tissues. Examples include artificial hip joints, artificial knee joints, bone plates, fracture fixation screws, heart valve prostheses, pacemakers, and artificial hearts. As a result, precision machining of titanium alloys is increasingly in demand.
During the machining of titanium alloy parts, the workpiece material and cutting tool are prone to interact, leading to phenomena such as material adhesion, diffusion, tool sticking, tool burning, and tool breakage.
characteristics of titanium alloy machining and CNC processing:
Low thermal conductivity: During cutting, heat accumulates near the tool tip, causing a rapid rise in local temperature. This results in extremely high tool temperatures, rapid tool tip wear, and reduced tool life.
High chemical reactivity: Titanium alloy is highly chemically active. At high temperatures, thermochemical reactions involving oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen occur between the tool and the material, increasing material strength, reducing plasticity, and significantly accelerating tool wear.
Chip formation through intermittent deformation: The cutting resistance on the tool tip increases, blunting the cutting edge and accelerating tool wear.
Cutting fluid: Due to the significant rise in cutting temperature during titanium alloy machining, cutting fluid must be used to lower the temperature and extend tool life. Selecting an appropriate cutting fluid effectively reduces cutting resistance.
Low elastic modulus and large elastic deformation: The workpiece surface exhibits significant rebound near the tool's flank face, increasing the contact area between the machined surface and the flank face and causing severe wear. These characteristics make titanium alloy machining particularly challenging, leading to low processing efficiency and high tool consumption.
How to select tool materials for titanium alloy's poor machinability?
To address the challenges of machining titanium alloy, tool materials should be selected to reduce cutting temperature and minimize adhesion. Ideal tools exhibit high red hardness, high thermal bending strength, good thermal conductivity, and low affinity with titanium alloy. Commonly used carbide materials include YG8, YG3, YG6X, YG6A, 813, and 643.
