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 ...

Large, monolithic titanium aircraft components, such as this jet fighter bulkhead component, frequently have deep pockets and thin walls to reduce weight. The prolific use of complex, monolithic ...

Advanced machining can solve many of the challenges of today’s increasingly difficult-to-produce parts such as miniaturization, part complexity, strict tolerances, thin walls, material hardness and ...

Manufacturing products from titanium and its alloys using traditional methods remains a complex technological task that requires a lot of time and money. Scientists at South Ural State University have ...

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 ...

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 ...

PARIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Officials with Norsk Titanium (Norsk) announced today the company has designed and is currently building a larger-scale Rapid Plasma Deposition™ (RPD™) machine. This new ...

Arcam AB in Sweden recently patented an electron-beam melting (EBM) technique that additively builds complex parts out of titanium. The process economically builds parts at relatively low volumes. EBM ...
