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 ...

It is not difficult to understand why automotive, medical, chemical, micro-component and, especially, aerospace designers love titanium. Its density is only about half of steel, so titanium parts ...

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 ...

The rapid growth of composite aerospace structures has created a parallel demand for complex, monolithic titanium components to join them together. Aluminum, the traditional aerospace metal, lacks ...

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 ...

If you’re planning to make a metalworking lathe out of a CNC milling machine, you probably don’t expect getting a position sensor to work to be your biggest challenge. Nevertheless, this was [Anthony ...

WATERVLIET ARSENAL, N.Y. -- Arsenal machining apprentices are one step closer to becoming Department of the Army machinists as they presented their Capstone Project at a ceremony conducted this month ...
