Titanium alloy has the advantages of low density, high specific strength, good corrosion resistance and good process performance, and is an ideal aerospace engineering structural material. Titanium and its alloys are replacing traditional aluminum alloys in many aerospace applications. Today, the aerospace industry consumes about 42% of total global production, and demand for titanium is expected to continue growing at a double-digit rate between now and 2010. Advantages of titanium alloy materials Titanium alloys have high strength, high fracture toughness, and good corrosion resistance and weldability. With the increasing use of composite structures in aircraft fuselage, the proportion of titanium-based materials used in the fuselage will also increase, because the combination of titanium and composite materials is far better than aluminum alloys. For example: Compared to aluminum alloys, Titanium Threaded Rod can increase the life of airframe structures by 60%.
Because titanium alloys are more difficult to machine than ordinary alloy steels, titanium alloys are generally considered to be difficult-to-machine materials. The metal removal rate of a typical titanium alloy is only about 25% of that of most common steel or stainless steel, so machining a titanium alloy workpiece takes about 4 times as long as machining a steel workpiece. To meet the growing demand for titanium machining in the aerospace industry, manufacturers need to increase production capacity and therefore need a better understanding of the effectiveness of titanium machining strategies. The machining of a typical titanium alloy workpiece starts with forging until 80% of the material is removed to obtain the final workpiece shape.
