High Speed Machining of Ti-alloys-A critical Review (original) (raw)

Titanium alloys are widely used in many applications such as Aerospace, Automotive, Biomedical, Marine, Mining and Oil Industries. Titanium elucidates many engineering challenges for its effective utilization. The tool wear, material removal rate, surface finish and overall cost in titanium machining are major challenges. In order to meet these challenges conventional high speed machining may be one of the solutions to produce more durable and quality products. The present paper discusses to find the most efficient combination of tool, machining parameters, milling strategy, workpiece materials, etc. for the particular application. The work carried out by various researchers is studied in the field of conventional machining of titanium alloys considering only turning and milling operation and important findings are narrated.
