Superbti is a professional company supplying high performance titanium bars, wire, plates, forgings, tubes and fasteners.

Titanium is an important structural metal which developed in the 1950s, titanium-based nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and other elements formed to the titanium alloy due to a small density, high strength, low coefficient of deformation, resistance Heat and corrosion resistance and a series of excellent physical and chemical properties, in the aerospace, aviation, shipbuilding, petroleum, chemical, automotive, medical equipment and other industrial fields have been widely used. At present, many countries of the world have recognized the importance of titanium alloy materials, have begun to carry out the research and development of titanium materials, and promote the application of titanium. But also because of these advantages of titanium, so that titanium alloy is not easy to process, many processing plants are keeping the titanium at a long distance. How we could efficiently improve the processing of titanium alloy has become a very stick subject.

Cutting tool materials selection on titanium processing

Due to the Titanium alloy material strength, deformation coefficient is small, cutting temperature is high, the tip stress, work hardening phenomenon is serious, which resulted in cutting, the tool is very easy to wear and chipping, cutting quality is difficult to be guaranteed.

For the processing difficulty of titanium alloy material, we design the processing program, we should first select the appropriate cutting tool. Because of this material strength, deformation coefficient is small, so the tool should first have sufficient hardness, strength and wear resistance; and because the material cutting temperature is high, so the thermal conductivity of the tool made a very high demand, and cannot exist the chemical compatibility with titanium. On the whole, the strength, large grain size of tungsten cobalt carbide cutting tools, such as YG8, YG3, etc. is the ideal choice.
