HI GUYS,
I don't have alot of posts here, but I machine Ti on an almost daily basis all day long. I love this stuff. It finishes so nice. We use solid carbide endmills at work with some pretty good speeds and feed as it was said earlier to keep the cutters from wiping the part instead of cutting it. All the parts I make at work are aerospace/ millitary and optics systems. My friend is in the process of designing and constructing a Ti R/c monster truck. I also do Ti rings and smoking pipes out of it in my home shop. All of this being said AL-6 stainless is a VERY hard material, just saying as a weapons force is directly related to it's mass and speed, maybee Ti weighted for a more forcefull strike. ok later guys have fun, Oh and remember to take a propane toarch to the Ti to give it some awsome colors. |
