... Abstract Additive manufacturing techniques have made AM Ti-6Al-4V parts a reality in many industries. However, despite the optimism, their poor fatigue performance especially in high cycle regime is the major hurdle for the industry accepting it as mainstream. One of the reasons owes...

... Abstract Titanium (Ti) alloys are classified as difficult-to-machine materials due to low thermal conductivity, low modulus, and high chemical reactivity. In this paper, a Ti-6Al-4V alloy bar in a solution treated and aged (STA) microstructure is turned using uncoated carbide, two commercial...

.... This will be presented for two different materials Nimonic 90 and Ti-6Al-4V. For Nimonic 90 a built-up-edge (BUE) will be identified, and this is based on the stream-line inflow-angle. Quite contrary is the chip formation process for Ti-6Al-4V. A diffusion process in the interface chip-tool take place resulting...

... Abstract In cutting of Ti-6Al-4V alloy, the cutting speed is limited since a high cutting temperature leads to severe tool wear and short tool life, resulting in poor production efficiency. On the other hand, some recent literature has reported that various beneficial effects can be provided...

... the feasibility of pore generation and to characterize the pores and examine the effect from various process conditions. The pore-generated specimens were fabricated in an L-PBF system using Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64) powder. Overall, specimens were made using default settings. But, during processing the middle section...

... are deposited on semi-cylindrical samples with Ti-6Al-4V powder particles for three levels of power and speed combinations. The single tracks are built at a certain height from the base plate instead of on the build plate to include the effect of the powder particles. The experiment includes single tracks...

..., material characterization, machining parameters with resulting machining behavior such as cutting force and specific cutting energy. This study reports on the machining behavior of Electron Beam Melting (EBM) and Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) processed Ti-6Al-4V parts with highly textured microstructure...

..., Parikshit Mehta, Laine Mears, Thomas Kurfess Clemson University - International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR) Greenville, SC, USA KEYWORDS Volumetric tool wear, Wear rate, Machining, Titanium alloy, Ti-6Al-4V, MRR, M-ratio. ABSTRACT The objective of this paper is to assess the correlation...

... rate and surface quality for Ti-6Al-4V were investigated. Corrosion processing rate depends upon hydrofluoric acid concentration, the volume ratio of nitric acid to hydrofluoric acid, temperature. Nitric acid can promote the surface passivation and reduce surface roughness. The surfactant plays a dual...
