Review on HSM of Titanium Alloys in Aerospace Industry

Priyanka Garg

Abstract


Despite of good strength-to-weight ratio and superior corrosion resistance of titanium alloys, it is very difficult to machine them due to their poor machinability. Productivity and efficiency of the titanium alloys can be improved by means of high speed machining tools. Eventually, it is a much needed technology to complement the advancements in aerospace manufacturing applications. A bulk of literature is accounted for the purpose that simply suggest that different methods are being employed by researchers to improve the machinability of Titanium alloys in numerous aerospace as well as other engineering applications. In the present paper, a brief review is made on several past research works related to enhancement of conventional machining of titanium alloys and it was affirmed that HSM is one of the most preferable techniques to serve the purpose.

Keywords: titanium, high-speed machining (HSM), machinability, aerospace applications, corrosion, thermal conductivity
