Scientific Selection of Coolant for Titanium Alloy Parts Processing

There are many choices of coolant, but in mechanical processing, we have to choose different coolant according to different parts, because the purpose of doing so will also improve the service life of the tool to varying degrees.

Firstly, different coolants can be tested by independent laboratory, which can provide the required fair data for the correct selection of coolants for titanium alloy processing.

Second, in the current difficult economic environment, improving the life of cutting tools can provide an important competitive advantage. In the process of mechanical processing, the tool life can be increased by 15%-30% by choosing appropriate coolant. But how can end users know which coolant is the right choice?

3. In the aerospace parts manufacturing industry, it is particularly important to choose the right coolant, because the competition in this industry is very fierce. Uncertainty in the economic environment has increased the pressure on parts manufacturers to control costs. They need to optimize the processing procedures, test new tool technologies, and upgrade the machine tools.

4. When processing titanium alloys, careful consideration is needed to determine which metal cutting fluid is to be used. In order to conduct the most effective analysis, cutting experiments are carried out with the same cutting tools and workpiece materials as those in the evaluated processing process. When a workpiece is processed, all other parameters except coolant are kept constant. The load on the machine tool spindle can be measured by the change of current, and the lubricity of which coolant is better can be determined.

Fifth, because of its high strength, light weight and corrosion resistance, many aircraft parts are made of titanium alloy. Adequate lubrication is essential for effective processing of titanium alloys, because insufficient lubrication is a common cause of tool failure.

The above is about the scientific selection of coolant for titanium alloy parts processing. From the above aspects, we can see how important the selection of coolant is in the mechanical processing production. Therefore, the scientific and rational selection of coolant is also the key to increase tool life.
