5-axis machining is essential for titanium aerospace components with complex geometries. It reduces setups and improves accuracy while the continuous tool engagement helps manage titanium's poor thermal conductivity.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Achievable Tolerances | ±0.01 mm |
| Surface Finish | Ra 0.8-3.2 μm |
| Cutting Speed | 30-60 m/min |
| Feed Rate | 0.08-0.15 mm/tooth |
| Tooling Recommendations | Uncoated or PVD-coated carbide. Ball nose for profiling. Barrel cutters for surface finish efficiency. |
