Experimental Investigations of the Machinability of Titanium Alloy TC4 with Different Hydrogen Contents

Article Preview

Abstract:

The experiments were carried out in the paper to investigate the effect of adding hydrogen in titanium alloy TC4 on its machinability. The hydrogen contents selected were 0, 0.25%, 0.49%, 0.63%, 0.89% and 1.32%, respectively. Experiments with varing hydrogen contents and cutting conditions concurrently. Experimental results showed that the cutting force of the titanium alloy can be obviously reduced and the surface roughness can be improved by adding appropriate hydrogen in the material. In the given cutting condition, the titanium alloy TC4 with 0.49% hydrogen content showed better machinability.
