Milling of Titanium

Abstract

The scale of difficulty to machine titanium alloys in industrial production increases with each succeeding year. The reason for the increasing use is the special characteristics of this material. Titanium has many positive features which make it interesting for the design engineers. Its excellent mechanical strength in combination with a low density has led to an even higher use of this material in the aerospace industry. As a result, titanium is also now being used to a greater extent in the automotive sector. Titanium alloys are very corrosion resistant and well tolerated by human tissues, making them ideal for the medical and dental industries. Another large...
