Five practical aerospace milling strategies to improve stability, surface integrity, and tool life when machining HRSAs, titanium, and high-nickel alloys.

High thread whirling device. (Inset) Orthopedic Screw with high pitch. MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURERS FACE TOUGH challenges. Their customers are demanding ever smaller, more complex parts produced with ...

The 777X will be a redesigned version of the 777 jet, targeting lower fuel consumption and lower operating costs than competing long-range aircraft. Boeing Commercial Airplanes completed a 90,000-ft2 ...

The machinability of the commercially pure grades of titanium is similar to that of annealed austenitic stainless steel, while in the same respect titanium alloys are more comparable with the harder ...

The characteristics that make titanium ideal for aircraft engine parts, frames and landing gear are matched by the challenges of machining the material. Titanium and high-nickel alloys are resistant ...

Advanced machining can solve many of the challenges of today’s increasingly difficult-to-produce parts such as miniaturization, part complexity, strict tolerances, thin walls, material hardness and ...

There are some amazing large format 5-axis machining centers on the market these days. They can machine titanium all day long and hold incredible tolerances. The problem is that you may have to spend ...

Part 1 of the Machining Titanium whitepaper, we covered the challenges of machining titanium due to its high strength, low thermal conductivity, high modulus of elasticity, and shearing mechanism; and ...

Arcam AB in Sweden recently patented an electron-beam melting (EBM) technique that additively builds complex parts out of titanium. The process economically builds parts at relatively low volumes. EBM ...
