Machining of Titanium Alloys

Download or read book Machining of Titanium Alloys written by J. Paulo Davim and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-05 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a collection of examples illustrating the resent research advances in the machining of titanium alloys. These materials have excellent strength and fracture toughness as well as low density and good corrosion resistance; however, machinability is still poor due to their low thermal conductivity and high chemical reactivity with cutting tool materials. This book presents solutions to enhance machinability in titanium-based alloys and serves as a useful reference to professionals and researchers in aerospace, automotive and biomedical fields.
