Processing technology of mechanical forgings of titanium alloy
Cutting: Cutting is one of the most commonly used machining methods for titanium alloy mechanical forgings. By turning, milling, drilling and other cutting methods, the titanium alloy forging is processed into the required shape and size. Cutting has the advantages of high efficiency and high precision, but it is necessary to choose cutting parameters and cutting tools reasonably to reduce cutting force and cutting temperature and reduce tool wear.
Grinding machining: Grinding machining is a high-precision machining method, which is suitable for occasions where the surface quality and accuracy of titanium alloy forgings are required to be high. Lower surface roughness and higher dimensional accuracy can be obtained by grinding and grinding with grinding wheel. However, the grinding process efficiency is relatively low and the cost is high.
Electrochemical machining: Electrochemical machining is a non-contact processing method that removes metal materials from the surface of titanium alloy forgings by electrolysis. This machining method is suitable for complex shape and difficult to cut titanium alloy forgings, and has the advantages of high machining precision and good surface quality. However, the cost of electrochemical machining equipment is high, and the machining process requires strict control of electrochemical parameters.
With the rapid development of aerospace, medical, chemical and other fields, the demand for titanium alloy mechanical forgings continues to grow. At the same time, with the continuous development of titanium alloy materials and the continuous improvement of processing technology, the performance of titanium alloy mechanical forgings will be improved, and the application field will be further expanded. Therefore, titanium alloy mechanical forgings market prospects are broad.
The processing technology of titanium alloy mechanical forgings is the key link that restricts its industrial development. With the continuous progress of science and technology, cutting, grinding, electrochemical processing and other methods will be continuously improved to improve the processing efficiency and accuracy of titanium alloy mechanical forgings. At the same time, with the continuous growth of market demand and the expansion of application fields, the titanium alloy mechanical forging industry will usher in greater space for development. In the future development, it is necessary to strengthen industry-university-research cooperation, promote the innovation of titanium alloy materials and processing technology, and lay a solid foundation for the sustainable development of titanium alloy mechanical forging industry.
