A Review on Recent Studies: Non-Traditional Machining of Titanium Alloys

Abstract

Till now titanium and its alloys used in different industrial sectors. Unique material characteristics make it as desirable raw material for the automotive, aerospace, petroleum, chemical, marine and biomedical industries. It requires deformation and fabrication process as difficult-to-cut material. There are several challenges hidden under the processes. Therefore, advanced machining process performance investigation in titanium and its titanium alloys machining has taken part of the research concern. A number of research works has been done in every year to show the research direction. However, most of them are specifically in one machining process. It’s important to have a clear picture of a research area for further research consideration. Therefore, this review aim to study recent articles of non-traditional machining process of titanium and its alloys. The focus of this review was on the contribution for solving existing problems by using non-traditional machining processes, most efficient process and general overview. At the end it also provided a summary of sustainable issue of non-traditional machining processes.

A Review on Recent Achievements and Challenges in Electrochemical Machining of Tungsten Carbide

“…The simple idea is that a perfect anodic dissolution occurs in extraordinarily conductive electrolytes at high densities of current ranging from 5 to 100A cm 2 (Bannard, 1977;Datta, 1993). Figure 1 (Arafat & Fanghua, 2020) illustrates one kind of ECM involving a tube-shaped tool electrode to create a dump with a spherical cross-section (TE). TE is gradually incorporated into the WP at a rate equal to the metal dissolving rate at the bottom of the hole to form a hole.…”

Damping Impact on 1-Dimensional Ultrasonic Vibration-Assisted Turning Machining

“…The ultrasonic vibration-assisted turning (UVAT) machining provides excellent advantages in the material removing process. Application of high-frequency UVAT in cutting tools could improve machining characteristics of intractable alloys with a cutting force reduction up to 50%, reduction of chatter, cutting tool wear, improvement in surface quality and roundness up to 50% to 80% and smaller chips production compare to conventional turning [3], [8], [17], [9]- [16], [19]. However, structural deformations could affect unusual displacements of the tooltip point (TTP), and this problem would results in undesired deviations and degradations of surface quality during finishing [18].…”
