Problems of Titanium Alloy Fasteners in Machining


Titanium alloy fasteners are widely used in mechanical production and processing. The precision and strength of the components are very high, and the overall performance is superior in all aspects. They can be used in various fields of machining. It is a good material for processing and production. When titanium alloy fasteners are used, there are also certain defects. These defects directly affect the quality of the processing during the use of the product, which makes the processing problematic. This paper discusses and analyzes the existing problems and improvement measures of titanium alloy fasteners in machining.


In the machining and production processes, titanium alloy fasteners are widely used. During the use process, they can reduce the weight of the machinery itself. This is a lightweight material, especially in the aerospace field. It is more used. In the development of science and technology in recent years, the scope of use of titanium alloy fasteners has been continuously expanded. It can closely connect titanium alloy with other materials, which is of great significance for machining and production.

Problems of Titanium Alloy Fasteners in Machining


1.1 Operation and Production Problems of Machining Machines

In the production and processing process of titanium alloy fasteners, the processing requirements of the workshop are higher. In the processing of lathes, the density of titanium alloy fasteners is relatively higher than that of other materials, and the technical requirements for processing and the difficulty of processing will be higher. The technical requirements of these processing processes have certain processing problems for the production plant. During the processing process, the degree of wear of the sharpener will be more serious. It is necessary to find higher-quality alloy tools to be able to process and produce processes to reduce costs. This is a significant problem in the machining and production process of titanium alloy fasteners, and reasonable program adjustments and processing processes are required to improve the processing conditions.

1.2 Corrosion Problems in the Processing and Preservation of Titanium Alloy Fasteners

In the process of machining and production of titanium alloy fasteners, because the degree of adhesion of mechanical parts is relatively low when the fasteners are installed, it is easy to produce certain voids, so that there will be surface coating flowing in between the metal voids, which makes the fasteners vulnerable to corrosion during the production process. In the subsequent use process, the tightness of the connection will be affected. The reason why titanium alloy materials have relatively high corrosion resistance is because of the presence of oxygen in the air. After the oxidation reaction between the titanium alloy material and oxygen, a protective film will be formed on the surface. This layer of film can effectively protect the titanium alloy inside the material from oxidation, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the titanium alloy material. However, in the actual machining process of titanium alloy fasteners, because the environment is constantly changing, including the temperature of the surrounding environment, humidity, and oxidation of equipment during processing, titanium alloy fasteners are prone to corrosion. This is one of the problems that titanium alloy fasteners are prone to in the production process.

1.3 The Precision of the Machining of Titanium Alloy Fasteners

In the production and processing of titanium alloys and candied fruits, the precision requirements of machinery will be higher. During mechanical production, since the tool is in a state of working wear every time it is produced, and it is calibrated according to the procedures, the density of titanium alloy fasteners is higher, and the tool is easily worn during the processing process. In the state of wear, the tool is still processed in accordance with the procedures, which can easily cause the precision of the fasteners to be affected during the processing process. If the precision of the fasteners is not strictly controlled within the error range during the entire processing process, the titanium alloy and other materials cannot be closely connected during the process of use, which will have a certain impact on the subsequent use. Improving the accuracy of titanium alloy fasteners in the machining and production process is a major problem that needs to be overcome in the production process. Fastener process products are products made in a high-precision production workshop, and the connection performance of this product is better.
