Application of Experimental Design Techniques to Machinability Testing : Part 2, Two Comparative Tests of Machinability

Machinability of Experimental Ti-Cu Alloys

This study is an investigation of the machinability of experimental Ti-Cu alloys (2, 5, and 10mass% Cu) as new dental titanium alloy candidates for CAD/CAM use. The alloys were slotted with a vertical milling machine and carbide square end mills under two cutting conditions. Their machinability was evaluated through cutting force using a three-component force transducer fixed on the table of th...

Machinability of experimental Ti-Ag alloys.

This study investigated the machinability of experimental Ti-Ag alloys (5, 10, 20, and 30 mass% Ag) as a new dental titanium alloy candidate for CAD/CAM use. The alloys were slotted with a vertical milling machine and carbide square end mills under two cutting conditions. Machinability was evaluated through cutting force using a three-component force transducer fixed on the table of the milling...

Machinability of Sinter-hardening PM materials with experimental machining enhancers

Although powder metallurgy is an economical method for production of near net shape components, machining operations are often required to deliver desired geometrical features, dimensional tolerances, and surface finish of PM parts. Machining enhancers are used to improve the machinability of PM components and to increase tool life. MnS is the most common machinability enhancer used for PM stee...

Machinability evaluation of titanium alloys (Part 2)--Analyses of cutting force and spindle motor current.

To establish a method of determining the machinability of dental materials for CAD/CAM systems, the machinability of titanium, two titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V and Ti-6Al-7Nb), and free-cutting brass was evaluated through cutting force and spindle motor current. The metals were slotted using a milling machine and square end mills at four cutting conditions. Both the static and dynamic components ...
