An Investigation into the Impact of Flexural Elastic Modulus on the Dimensional Instability in CNC Turning of Titanium Alloy Grade 5 - Ti6Al4V / Sangeeth Suresh...[et al.]

Titanium Alloy Grade 5 (Ti6Al4V) has proven to be the most commonly used grade of titanium due to its excellent combination of physical and mechanical properties. However, Ti6Al4V has a relatively low modulus of elasticity (110 GPa) which in turn causes the material to be springy in nature. This spr...

description Titanium Alloy Grade 5 (Ti6Al4V) has proven to be the most commonly used grade of titanium due to its excellent combination of physical and mechanical properties.

Actual dimensions are expected to change considerably from the intended dimensions due to this effect. This study attempts to investigate the magnitude of irregularity in the dimension during the CNC turning of Ti6Al4V (diameter 50mm) and the factors that significantly contribute towards the dimensional instability.
