Commercially pure grades of Titanium with tensile strength of 35,000 to 80,000 PSI machine much easier than the aircraft alloys (i.e.) 6AL/4V with tensile strengths up to 200,000 PSI. Titanium’s work hardening rate is less than that of austenetic stainless steel, about equivalent to 0.20 carbon steel. Titanium requires low shearing forces, demonstrates an absence of “built-up edge”, and is not notch sensitive. Titanium if classified as difficult to machine, is due to its physical properties. Titanium is a poor conductor of heat. As a result heat caused by the cutting action does not dissipate quickly. Titanium has a strong alloying tendency or chemical reactivity with materials in the cutting tools which cause galling, welding, smearing, and rapid destruction of the cutting tool. Titanium due to its relatively low modules will have a tendency to move away from the cutting tool unless cuts are maintained or proper back-up is employed. TWO OTHER FACTORS INFLUENCE MACHINING OPERATIONS. 1. Because of the lack of a stationary mass of metal (built-up edge) ahead of the cutting tool, a high shearing angle is formed. This causes a thin chip to contact a relatively small area on the cutting tool face and results in high bearing loads per unit area. The high bearing force, combined with the friction developed by the chip as it rushes over the bearing area, results in a great increase in heat on a very localized portion of the cutting tool. 2. Further, the combination of high bearing forces and heat produces catering action close to the cutting edge, resulting in rapid tool breakdown. The basic machining properties of titanium cannot be altered: however the following basic rules have been developed in machining Titanium. 1. Use low cutting speeds. A change of 20 surface feet per minute to 150 surface feet per minute using carbide tools results in a temperature change from 800 to 1700 F. 2. Maintain high feed rates. Temperature is not affected by feed rate so much as by speed, and the highest feed rates consistent with good machining practice should be used. 3. Use copious amounts of cutting fluid. 4. Use sharp tools and replace them at first signs of wear. Tool failure occurs quickly after a small initial amount of wear. 5. Never stop feeding while tool and work are in moving contact. Allowing a tool to dwell in moving contact causes work hardening and promotes smearing, galling, seizing and tool breakdown. The following recommendations for speeds, feeds, and other parameters in this booklet are normal recommendations and should be considered only as a starting point. 4 SHEET METAL FABRICATION WELDING While 6AL/4V was originally developed as a forging alloy, its excellent properties and fabrication characteristics soon led to applications requiring its availability in sheet form. Annealed 6AL/4V sheet is now readily available. Processing techniques for all standard methods of sheet fabrication including stretch, creep and drop hammer forming, drawing, jogging, and dimpling, have been developed. 6AL/4V can be welded by most techniques: metal or tunsten inert gas, resistance, flash, friction, ultrasonic, or electron beam. The major usage of 6AL/4V sheet has been in the annealed condition. It is normally fabricated at elevated temperatures where springback is minimized and smaller minimum bend radii can be developed. Preformed parts can be hot sized to close tolerances between matched, shaped metal dies under pressure and temperature allowing the parts to flow or creep into the desired finished shape. The temperatures used vary between 1000 and 1450OF. Advantages of hot sizing include: (a) tooling can be made to net sizes since no allowance for springback is required: (b) finished parts are practically stress-free: and (c) extremely complex contours can be consistently produced. 6AL/4V sheet may be hot-formed in the solution treated condition, but careful control of heating times and temperatures is essential to prevent overaging. The aging reaction starts at 500OF with the effects of repeated exposures at temperature being additive. Therefore, the aging performed during hot-forming should be taken into consideration in determining any subsequent heattreating cycles. 6AL/4V, like all titanium alloys, must be protected against contamination during welding. Oxygen and nitrogen from the atmosphere, surface residues, and impurities in the shielding gas readily dissolve in the molten weld metal and can produce embrittlement and porosity. Good shielding and careful edge preparation are therefore necessary. 6AL/4V sheet and plate are successfully welded in open air with MIG or TIG techniques using an inert gas trailing shield plus underside or backup inert gas shielding. Optimum welding paramerters vary greatly with joint configuration and welding equipment. Titanium is an extremely active metal. Consequently, it easily reacts to the atmosphere and other, etc. during welding. Harmful chemical reactions occur when it comes into contact with various impurities, such as different metals, dust, moisture, oil and grease, and various oxides. This can often serve to reduce the ductility of any welded zones. At the same time, a deteriorization in corrosion resistance and the emergence of factors leading to the occurance of blow holes can also arise. Therefore, when welding, it is necessary to maintain a clean working environment, use clean welding materials and, of course, to totally seal the titanium. Fully heat-treated 6AL/4V has limited formability. If necessary to form material in this condition, heating practice must be designed to prevent overaging. DURING METAL-WORKING ACTIVITIES SUCH AS WELDING, BURNING, GRINDING, HEATING, AND FORGING, METAL FUMES AND GASES MAY BE GENERATED, WHICH MAY BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH. AVOID BREATHING THESE FUMES AND GASES. MECHANICAL VENTILATION OR RESPIRATORS MUST BE UTILIZED IF NATURAL VENTILATION IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN CONTAMINANTS BELOW THE OSHA PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LEVEL (PEL). SAFETY DATA SHEET HAZARD INFORMATION OR CONSTITUENTS. REFER TO MATERIAL AND FOR TITANIUM ALLOY PRODUCTS FOR 5 TURNING Commercially pure and alloyed titanium can be turned with little difficulty. Carbide tools are the most satisfactory for turning titanium. The “straight” tungsten carbide grades of standard designations C1-C4, such as Metal Carbides C-91 and similar types, give the best results. Cobalt-type high speed steels appear to be the best of the many types of high speed steel available. Cast-alloy tools may be used when carbide is not available and when the cheaper high speed steels are not satisfactory. TURNING, SINGLE POINT AND BOX TOOLS MILLING The milling of titanium is a more difficult operation than that of turning. The cutter mills only part of each revolution, and chips tend to adhere to the teeth during that portion of the revolution that each tooth does not cut. On the next contact, when the chip is knocked off, the tooth may be damaged. This problem can be alleviated to a great extent by employing climb milling, instead of conventional milling. In this type of milling, the cutter is in contact with the thinnest portion of the chip as it leaves the cut, minimizing chip “welding”. For slab milling, the work should move in the same direction as the cutting teeth; and for face milling, the teeth should emerge from the cut in the same direction as the work is fed. In milling titanium, when the cutting edge fails, it is usually because of chipping. Thus the results with carbide tools are often less satisfactory than with cast-alloy tools. The increase is cutting speeds of 20-30% which is possible with carbide tools compared with cast-alloy tools does not always compensate for the additional tool grinding costs. Consequently, it is advisable to try both cast-alloy and carbide tools to determine the better of the two for each milling job. The use of a water base coolant is recommended. 6 FACE MILLING END MILLING - PERIPHERAL DRILLING END MILLING - SLOTTING 7 DRILLING Successful drilling can be accomplished with ordinary high speed steel drills. One of the most important factors in drilling titanium is the length of the unsupported section of the drill. This portion of the drill should be no longer than necessary to drill the required depth of the hole and still allow the chips to flow unhampered through the flutes and out of the hole. This permits application of maximum cutting pressure, as well as rapid removal and re-engagement to clear chips, without drill breakage. Use of “Spiro-Point” drill grinding is desirable. TAPPING Best results in tapping titanium have been with a 65% thread. Chip removal is a problem which makes tapping one of the more difficult machining operations. 8 BROACHING As in other Titanium machining operations, it is very essential that the entire machine tool setup and the Titanium component be rigid, to assure a top quality broaching job. It is also recommended that broaches be wet ground, to improve finish of the tool, thereby giving better tool performance. During the broaching operation, vapor blasting with the coolant helps lengthen broach life and reduce the tendency for smearing. There is a tendency for Titanium chips to weld to the tool on an interrupted cut such as broaching, and this tendency increases as the wearland develops. Both the broach and broach slots should be examined regularly for signs of smearing, as this and chip welding are indications of wear. Thus you avoid poor finish, more rapid tool wear and loss of tolerance. REAMING Holes drilled bored for the reaming of Titanium and Titanium alloys should be .010” to .020” undersize. Standard high speed steel and carbide reamers perform satisfactorily, except that clearances on the chamfer should be 10O. To provide maximum tooth space for chip clearance, reamers with the minimum number of flutes for a given size should be selected. 9 GRINDING The proper combination of grinding fluid, abrasive wheel, and wheel speeds can expedite this form of shaping titanium. The procedure recommended is to use considerably lower wheel speeds than is conventional grinding of steels. A water-sodium nitrite mixture gives excellent results as a coolant.

It was named Titanium after Titan, a giant in Greek mythology, by M.H. Klaproth in 1795. Since then, it has been widely studied, and the basic research for the development of the titanium industry have been accomplished with the magnesium reduction process of titanium tetrachloride invented by W.J. Kroll in 1938. In 1947 mass production of titanium metal (sponge) was started by the US Bureau of Mines. 1790 1795 1825 1887 1910 1925 1938 1948 Gregor, a priest at Menaccan, Cornwall, England, treated magnetic block sand with acids and alkalies to discover a new metallic oxide which was called “Menakanite” after the name of the land. Klaproth assayed an ore called “red rchorl” found at Boinik, Hungary and discovered a new metallic oxide which he named titanium. Berzelius obtained a metallic black powder by reduction of K2TiF6 with metallic potassium. Nilson and Petterson obtained a titanium of approximately 95% purity with oxide content by reduction of titanium tetrachloride with sodium. M.A. Hunter succeeded in reducing titanium tetrachloride to pure metallic titanium with socium by the so-called Hunter bomb process. Van Arkel and de Boer invented the process of heat reducing titanium ionide to high purity titanium. W.J. Kroll introduced the so-called “Kroll” process of reducing titanium tetrachloride with magnesium in an argon atmosphere. F.S. Watman, staff of the US Bureau of Mines, succeeded in the application of the “Kroll” process for industrial use. Although approximately 60 kinds of titanium minerals are known to exist, those available mainly for industrial use are Rutile and Ilmenite ores. 30
