Title: MACHINING CHARACTERISTICS OF HIGH STRENGTH THERMAL RESISTANT MATERIALS. ITEM V, PART II. MACHINING CHARACTERISTICS OF MOLYBDENUM-0.5% TITANIUM ALLOY. Report No. 90 for January 1, 1960 to April 30, 1960. Wright Aeronautical Serial Report No. MP.00-210

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4136895

The machining characteristics of a molyhdenum alloy containing 1/2% titanium were studied relative to turning, face milling, drilling, reaming, and tapping operations. The data for the various machining tests are presented in graphical form to show the relationships between tool life cutting speed, feed, tool geometry, tool material, and cutting fluids. Grinding tests were conducted to determine the effect of grinding wheel grade, wheel speed, down feed, cross feed, and table speed on grinding ratio and surface finish. The data for these studies are presented in graphical form to show grinding ratio as a function of grinding variables. Results of individual tests including surface finish data are shown in tabular form. Force measurements were made for turning and drilling the Mo alloy. The data are shown graphical form to indicate the effect of machining variables on unit power, coefficient of friction, and tool forces. (auth)
