Can titanium alloy be used as precision parts in precision parts processing

Titanium alloy can be used for precision parts processing. This material can be processed in many ways, such as milling, turning, grinding, drilling, electric discharge machining, etc. Firstly, we must understand the characteristics of titanium alloy materials, which are high hardness, low plasticity, and low thermal conductivity. Based on these characteristics, during the processing of titanium alloy precision mechanical parts, high cutting temperature and high cutting force will occur. So it is necessary to choose cutting tools with high wear resistance and strong hardness. Commonly used tool materials include polycrystalline diamond tools such as high-speed steel, hard alloy, and coated tools.

In the process of machining titanium alloy with precision parts, it is necessary to use cutting fluid reasonably, which can reduce the heat of the cutting edge and wash away the chips, thereby reducing cutting force and improving the machining quality of precision mechanical parts. When rough machining precision components made of alloy materials, it is recommended to use cutting tools with small front/back angles and high rigidity. In the precision machining process, it is recommended to use cutting tools with sharper edges, denser teeth, larger front/back angles and spiral angles, and smaller or no negative chamfers on the cutting edge. During the drilling process of titanium alloy, there are often phenomena of broken drill bits and tool burning, and the causes of this phenomenon include poor grinding of drill bits, poor cooling, untimely chip removal, and poor rigidity of the process system. To avoid the above situation, strict control must be implemented from the following aspects: firstly, frequent tool retraction and timely removal of chips; Secondly, add sufficient cutting fluid; The third is to fix the drill jig and workbench, and at the same time, the guide of the drill jig and the processing surface should be as close as possible to shorten the drill bit; The fourth is the manual feeding process, where the drill bit in the hole should move back and forth to avoid the drill bit becoming dull due to the friction of the drilling edge with the machined surface. Control the cutting process of titanium alloy materials to improve the overall efficiency of titanium alloy material processing.
