Extension of ultra precision machining to titanium alloys

Abdul Gani, Rahmath Zareena 12 1900 (has links)
<p> High-end optical grade applications would benefit greatly from the unique mechanical and chemical properties of titanium alloys. However, the standard process of manufacturing optical components has not been explored in depth for titanium alloys. </p> <p> Thus the focus of this work was to extend ultra precision machining technology to produce optical grade surfaces on titanium components. An optical surface is characterized by surface roughness less than 10nm R_rms which are typically produced with single crystal diamond tools having a cutting edge radius on the order of 50-100 nm. A cutting speed of 60m/min, feed rate of 1.5 µm/ rev and depth of cut of 2 µm, was identified to achieve the surface finish target, but the practical limitation of this process was still with tool life and the rapid degradation of surface finish over time. </p> <p> This was attributed to the adhesion of titanium material on the tool that resulted in material pull out and side-flow during machining. Results obtained from the characterization of the tool and workpiece led to the identification of graphitization as the initial wear mechanism. As the cutting edge rounds-off due to graphitization, the rate of adhesion of the workpiece material onto the tool increased. For this reason solutions were explored that would reduce the graphitization process and delay the onset of intense adhension. </p> <p> Thus a coating technology involving Perfluoro Polyether (PFPE) was chosen. Tribometer analysis under a load of 500N and temperature of 450ºC between the uncoated and PFPE coated diamond tools and titanium pins showed a remarkable reduction in COF from 0.275 to 0.05. A significant enhancement in tool life and surface quality was also achieved in single point diamond turning (SPDT) of titanium alloys using PFPE coated diamond tools. Tool life was based on an assessment of the cutting length achieved before the surface roughness exceeded the targeted value of 10 nm R_rms and it improved from 1.25 km and 5.1 km with PFPE coated tools. </p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Estudo da microusinabilidade do Ti (CP) e da liga Ti-6Al-4V no torneamento com ferramenta de diamante / Micromachinability study of Ti (CP) and Ti-6Al-4V alloy by means of single point diamond turning

Dentre as diversas aplicações onde o titânio e suas ligas são empregados destaca-se a indústria aeroespacial, pois suas excelentes propriedades de resistência à fratura, resistência à corrosão e razão resistência/peso, a qual se mantém a elevadas temperaturas, torna imprescindível o seu uso. Por outro lado, a usinabilidade de titânio e suas ligas é geralmente considerada como sendo ruim devido a algumas características, como por exemplo, baixa condutividade térmica, reatividade química com a maioria dos materiais ferramenta, alta resistência em altas temperaturas e baixo módulo de elasticidade, entre outras. Por esses motivos, foram realizadas operações de torneamento de ultraprecisão com ferramenta de diamante, a fim de determinar o comportamento do Ti comercialmente puro (CP) e sua liga mais comercialmente usada (Ti-6Al-4V). Os ensaios foram feitos com uso de fluido de corte aplicado em forma de névoa (~100ml/hora) em uma máquina-ferramenta com alta rigidez e precisão de posicionamento (resolução 10 nanômetros). As técnicas de caracterização de superfície usadas foram: microscopia eletrônica de varredura, óptica e de força atômica, microdureza Vickers, perfilometria mecânica e óptica. Os danos superficiais observados devido à interação ferramenta/material foram associados ao fenômeno conhecido como delaminação. Os resultados obtidos de microdureza superficial mostraram aumentos que chegaram à ordem de 85% para o Ti (CP) e de 77% para o Ti-6Al-4V. Os menores valores encontrados para Ra ficaram em torno de 30 nm para o Ti (CP) e de 46 nm para o Ti-6Al-4V enquanto os menores valores encontrados de Rt para o Ti(CP) foi de 590 nm e para o Ti-6Al-4V foi de 416 nm sob as mesmas condições de usinagem. Portanto, a usinagem de ultraprecisão se torna uma alternativa eficiente no uso de operações de acabamento melhorando a integridade superficial do Ti (CP) e suas ligas. / Among the various applications where titanium and its alloys are employed, the aeronautic industry is one of the most important, because of their excellent properties such as fracture strength, corrosion resistance and high strength to weight ratio, which is maintained at high temperatures. However, the machinability of titanium and its alloys is generally considered poor due to some of their characteristics as low thermal conductivity, chemical reactivity with most tool materials, high resistance to mechanical work at high temperature and low young\'s modulus, etc. Ultraprecision diamond turning has been carried out in order to determine the behaviour of commercially pure Ti and the most used alloy ((Ti-6Al-4V). Cutting fluid has been applied in the form of mist (~100 ml/hora) during the experiments. A high stiffness and high precision machine tool has been used (positioning precision of 10 nm). Scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, atomic force microscopy, Vickers microhardness test and contact and optical perfilometry have been used to characterize the machined surfaces. The surface damage observed due to the interaction tool-workpiece have been associated with the known phenomenon of delamination. The microhardness results presented an increase of the order of 85% for Ti (CP) and of 77% for the Ti-6Al-4V alloy after machining. The lowest values for Ra are around 30 nm for Ti (CP) and 46 nm for Ti-6Al-4V and the lowest values of Rt for Ti (CP) are about 590 nm and 416 nm for the Ti-6Al-4V, for the same conditions. The ultraprecision machining of titanium and its alloys may be an efficient alternative for finish operations resulting in better surface integrity.
