Temperatures in the Titanium Cut Zone

Length: 29 min Speaker: Dr. Zhigang Wang

DESCRIPTION

The superior strength-to-weight ratios and corrosion resistance of titanium alloys have led to an increasing demand for titanium components in the aerospace and petroleum industries. But titanium’s strength, low thermal conductivity and high chemical reactivity also make it difficult to machine. Controlling cutting temperature is particularly critical to achieving high-performance titanium machining.
