Why is titanium so difficult to machine?

Due To The Poor Heat Dissipation Effect Of Titanium Alloy Raw Materials, Titanium Alloy Often Sticks To The Knife During CNC Processing , Causing Great Wear On The Blade, The Tool Often Breaks Down Strikes. The Tool Is Consumed Too Quickly The Resistance Is Too Large. In Particular, The Processing Of Shell Workpieces Is Difficult, The Tool Is Prone To Vibration, Causing The Parts To Deform. The Surface Quality Cannot Be Guaranteed, It Is Easy To Have Tooth-Like Ripples. The Processing Risk Is Relatively High, The Accuracy Cannot Be Guaranteed, So Titanium Alloy Processing Is Still Relatively Difficult.

Titanium Alloy Properties:

1) Titanium Alloy Has The Property Of Work Hardening. The Relatively Low Elastic Modulus Makes Titanium Alloy More Elastic Than Steel. Therefore, Excessive Cutting Force Should Be Avoided To Ensure That The Rebound Of The Workpiece Is Small. Thin-Walled Parts Tend To Deform Under The Pressure Of CNC Machining Tools, Causing Vibration, Friction Even Tolerance Problems.

2) Titanium Alloy Processing Of Medical Device Parts Has High Requirements On Workpiece Materials, Processing Accuracy, Surface Finish, Etc., Which Requires High Reliability Of The Processing System.

Titanium Alloys Have Excellent Properties Such As High Strength, Corrosion Resistance, High Temperature Resistance, Fatigue Resistance. They Have Been Increasingly Widely Used In Aviation, Aerospace, Nuclear Energy, Medical Equipment Other Fields.
