Manufacturing Processes
Casting
:forbidden: Highly reactive, Difficult to superheat, tendency to form voids
-
Investment casting
-
Wax shapes assembled into tree and coated in stucco. Wax removed at 120C and stucco fired at high temp. 24hr later metal poured in
Expensive, good surface finish and dimensional tolerance, net shape capability
Used for turbine blades, medical, jewellery, radar
-
Bulk deformation
Forging
-
Used for high strength components, castign defects are sealed, engine crankshafts, connecting rods, gears and engine structural components
Types
Hot :fire: vs cold :snowflake:
:fire: most common, significant deformation and need to reduce strength and increase ductility
:snowflake: Better strength from strain hardening but harder to do
Die or not
Open die compressed between two flat dies, allowing metal to flow laterally without constraint
Impression die Die contains cavity, constraining metal creating flash
Flashless forging Part is completely constrained in die
\(\alpha\) Ti is hard to deform, Hihg flow stresses, high forging loads or temps required to forge \(\beta\)
Ring rolling
Pancake produced from stock and pierced to form doughnut, pressure is applied and diameter of ring is increased as ring spins against rollers
Heat treatments
-
:red_cross: Ti reacts strongly with O and N therefore only heat-treated in vaccum or inert
brittle alpha case can form if exposed to air at temp
Alpha case must be removed (Etch/chemi-mill or machining)
Cleanliness: Sodium chloride and chloride cleaning compound residues can cause SCC (Wash water, cleaning products, finger prints)
Welding
-
\(\alpha +\beta \) harder to weld, \(\beta\) hardest
-
-
Machining
-
-
High reactivity :arrow_right: chemically attack tool, edge build up
