SOLUTION APPROACHES & FIELDS OF APPLICATION
Titanium tends to clamp due to its ductility. Clamping increases friction. This results in sticking and welding.
When cutting, the reactivity with oxygen is noticeable as a negative point. The low thermal conductivity of titanium produces localised heat build-up. The tendency to stick together quickly (diffusion) increases considerably due to heating. The heat dissipation through the chip is 4 times lower compared to steel.
Due to the relatively low modulus of elasticity, vibrations can occur during machining. Chatter marks often occur during milling.
