Machining Titanium
TiAl6V4, Grade 5 alloy is the most commonly used titanium grade. Some applications include: compressor blades, discs, and rings for jet engines; airframe and space capsule components, pressure vessels, rocket engine cases, helicopter rotor hubs, fasteners, critical forgings requiring high strength-to-weight ratios.
Machining TiAl6V4, Grade 5 alloy is often a similar practice to austenitic stainless steels. Best results are usually achieved with slower speeds, heavy feeds, rigid tooling, and large amounts of non-chlorinated cutting fluid.
The chip thickness is really paramount when machining titanium, getting this right, will have the biggest effect on your productivity.
The Harmony Ti series, provides the ideal solution for high-quality milling of Titanium. Designed for use in CNC machines with Trochoidal toolpath strategies, the Harmony Ti series improves the productivity where the optimal metal removal rates are required, whilst suppressing any chatter, leading to longer tool life.
