High thread whirling device. (Inset) Orthopedic Screw with high pitch. MEDICAL DEVICE MANUFACTURERS FACE TOUGH challenges. Their customers are demanding ever smaller, more complex parts produced with ...

Part 1 of the Machining Titanium whitepaper, we covered the challenges of machining titanium due to its high strength, low thermal conductivity, high modulus of elasticity, and shearing mechanism; and ...

The machinability of the commercially pure grades of titanium is similar to that of annealed austenitic stainless steel, while in the same respect titanium alloys are more comparable with the harder ...

It is not difficult to understand why automotive, medical, chemical, micro-component and, especially, aerospace designers love titanium. Its density is only about half of steel, so titanium parts ...

There are some amazing large format 5-axis machining centers on the market these days. They can machine titanium all day long and hold incredible tolerances. The problem is that you may have to spend ...

The characteristics that make titanium ideal for aircraft engine parts, frames and landing gear are matched by the challenges of machining the material. Titanium and high-nickel alloys are resistant ...

At its core, 5-axis machining represents the pinnacle of subtractive manufacturing. Unlike traditional 3-axis systems that move a part along the X, Y, and Z linear axes, 5-axis machines introduce two ...
