THE MACHINING AND GRINDING OF TITANIUM HYDROFOILS

Abstract

Fabrication of 2 identical hydrofoils of cylindrical section, one each from 2 different grades of Ti-alloy, hot rolled, annealed, flat bar stock is discussed. The report includes details of tools, equipment, grinding media, coolants, speeds, feeds, tool wear, and breakage, belt life, pressures and other pertinent data. Statistics on times for metal removal, tolerances and differences experienced between the two alloys are indicated. (Author)
