09ATC-0109 Improved Titanium Machining: Modeling and Analysis of 5-Axis Tool Paths via Physics-Based Methods S. Garud, T. Marusich, S. Usui, L. Zamorano, K. Marusich Third Wave Systems, Inc. Copyright © 2009 SAE International ABSTRACT In addition to complicated tool paths, the machining of titanium alloys and other high temperature aerospace Manufacturing of monolithic aerospace components metals pose additional challenges due to low thermal entails development of complicated 5-axis tool paths conductivity, high specific cutting power [1] and high containing thousands of lines of code and dozens of tool hardness. changes for milling and drilling operations. In-cut machining cycle times of 50-100 hours are common. Commercially available verification software products Achieving meaningful reduction of cycle time while provide methods to optimize the tool paths but do not maintaining part quality is predicated upon the ability to incorporate material behavior or cutting force prediction model
