An Insight: Machining of Titanium Alloys & Associated Tool Wear

Abstract

Titanium alloy has some important applications in the aerospace industries along with other sectors, but its machinability efficiently is still a topic of intent research. Several factors work together to hinder its effective machining by various cutting tools. Although work has been done to some extent by some well cutting tools such as carbide tools however, very little work has been stated and established by using CBN tools or cryogenically treated CBN tools. The review has been done elaboratively to bring out various aspects of titanium alloy and its machining by various conventional cutting tools along with the CBN cutting tool.
