Machining Those Other Titanium Alloys There are many different titanium alloys other than Ti 6Al-4V – each with significant variants in chemical structure and characteristics. When you’re working with any of these, it’s essential to know not only their thermal conductivity but...

Unplanned downtime is costly. Schedule disruption, loss of production, missed deliveries, and overtime pay required to catch up on orders can kill productivity and profitability. While machine monitoring solutions have the capacity to report on equipment status and preventative maintenance schedules,...

The Baffling Issue of Tool-Bending Moment If you’ve machined titanium, or Ti 6Al-4V more specifically, then you’ve likely had an “inexplicable” tool-bending moment problem that’s made you scratch your head. A tool-bending moment happens when side force is applied...

In the music industry, “going platinum” means selling a million record units. In the medical world, it means utilizing the versatile metal for anti-cancer drug advancements, as well as the production of biomedical component parts. COMPANY USES VALUABLE METAL FOR MICRO-MEDICAL,...

Machining speeds are increased by using higher frequency while simultaneously using lower current to improve surface finishes. The advancements on the HFG Generator also provide improvements in machining speeds even when the ultimate surface finishes are not required. As shown below, a 2.0” (50mm)...
