SLOT MACHINING OF TI6AL4V WITH TROCHOIDAL MILLING TECHNIQUE

Titanium usage for aerospace growing day by day as application of titanium and its alloys covers wide range. Most of the aerospace components made up of wall structure involves lot of pocket slot milling since those components are monolithic components, eliminating need to manufacture multiple pieces for assembly into one final part. The increasing complexity of titanium parts used in aviation industry, increasing demand for productive manufacturing methods like trochoidal milling. This paper aims at evaluating its potential in slot milling for Ti6Al4V component by conducting experiments on 5-axis CNC machine. This study focuses on Productivity, Quality and Machine tool Dynamics.
