Abstract
Titanium and nickel-based alloys belong to the group of difficult-to-cut materials. The machining of these high-temperature alloys is characterized by low productivity and low process stability as a result of their physical and mechanical properties. Major problems during the machining of these materials are low applicable cutting speeds due to excessive tool wear, long machining times, and thus high manufacturing costs, as well as the formation of ribbon and snarled chips. Under these conditions automation of the production process is limited. This paper deals with strategies to improve machinability of titanium and nickel-based alloys. Using the example of the nickel-based alloy Inconel 718 high performance cutting with advanced cutting materials, such as PCBN and cutting ceramics, is presented. Afterwards the influence of different cooling strategies, like high-pressure lubricoolant supply and cryogenic cooling, during machining of TiAl6V4 is shown.
