Dual textured carbide tools for dry machining of titanium alloys

Study of PVD AlCrN Coating for Reducing Carbide Cutting Tool Deterioration in the Machining of Titanium Alloys

The manufacture of medical and aerospace components made of titanium alloys and other difficult-to-cut materials requires the parallel development of high performance cutting tools coated with materials capable of enhanced tribological and resistance properties. In this matter, a thin nanocomposite film made out of AlCrN (aluminum-chromium-nitride) was studied in this research, showing experime...

A Review on High-Speed Machining of Titanium Alloys∗

Titanium alloys have been widely used in the aerospace, biomedical and automotive industries because of their good strength-to-weight ratio and superior corrosion resistance. However, it is very difficult to machine them due to their poor machinability. When machining titanium alloys with conventional tools, the tool wear rate progresses rapidly, and it is generally difficult to achieve a cutti...

On High Speed Machining of Titanium Alloys - Analysis and Validation

III ABSTRACT This report documents the steps taken to gain insight into the phenomena of high speed machining (HSM) of titanium alloys. This was done by firstly studying titanium alloys and the problems associated with machining titanium alloys. An experimental set-up and procedure was developed for measuring and recording both the machining temperature and component forces. A sufficient set of...

Nanocomposites for Machining Tools

Machining tools are used in many areas of production. To a considerable extent, the performance characteristics of the tools determine the quality and cost of obtained products. The main materials used for producing machining tools are steel, cemented carbides, ceramics and superhard materials. A promising way to improve the performance characteristics of these materials is to design new nanoco...
