Twinned dendrite growth in binary aluminum alloys

The formation of twinned dendrites (feathery grains) in binary Al–Zn, Al–Mg, Al–Cu and Al–Ni alloys has been studied in specimens directionally solidified under identical thermal conditions, i.e. G 100 K cm , v 1 mm s , and with slight natural convection in the melt. The influence of the solute element nature and content has been found to be of less importance than previously reported since fea...

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...

Review on Machinability of Titanium Alloys: the Process Perspective

Titanium alloys are widely used in the engineering field, namely in the aerospace, automotive and biomedical parts, because of their high specific strength and exceptional corrosion resistance. However, the machinability of titanium alloys is difficult due to their low thermal conductivity and elastic modulus, high hardness at elevated temperature, and high chemical reactivity. This article rev...
