What are the Problems facing while machining titanium & Troubleshooting


Problem
Solution
Depth-of-cut notch
1. Avoid built-up edge.
2. Increase the tool lead angle.
3. Maintain speed and decrease feed rate simultaneously.
4. Ensure proper insert seating.
5. Increase coolant concentration.
6. Depth of cut should be greater than the work-hardened
Layer resulting from the previous cut (>0,12mm/.005").cnc
9. Use strongest insert shape possible.
10. Program a ramp to vary depth of cut.
Depth-of-cut notch
Built-up edge
1. Maintain sharp or lightly honed cutting edges.
Use ground periphery inserts and index often.
2. Increase speed.
3. Increase feed.
4. Increase coolant concentration.
Built-up edge
Torn workpiece surface finish
1. Increase feed and reduce speed.
2. Use positive rake, sharp
3. Increase speed.
4. Increase coolant concentration.
Torn workpiece surface finish
Workpiece glazing
1. Increase depth of cut.
2. Reduce nose radius.
3. Index insert to sharp edge.
4. Do not dwell in the cut.
