The machinability of the commercially pure grades of titanium is similar to that of annealed austenitic stainless steel, while in the same respect titanium alloys are more comparable with the harder ...

Aerospace Dynamics International Inc. contracted MAG for eight new five-axis, five-spindle XTi gantry profilers, and will arrange the machines as four profilers that each will have two pairs of ...

Large, monolithic titanium aircraft components, such as this jet fighter bulkhead component, frequently have deep pockets and thin walls to reduce weight. The prolific use of complex, monolithic ...

The characteristics that make titanium ideal for aircraft engine parts, frames and landing gear are matched by the challenges of machining the material. Titanium and high-nickel alloys are resistant ...

The rapid growth of composite aerospace structures has created a parallel demand for complex, monolithic titanium components to join them together. Aluminum, the traditional aerospace metal, lacks ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new bilayer ceramic coating to extend the service life of tools needed in the machining of ...

Part 1 of the Machining Titanium whitepaper, we covered the challenges of machining titanium due to its high strength, low thermal conductivity, high modulus of elasticity, and shearing mechanism; and ...
