What are the precautions for the grinding of titanium alloy rod and TC4 titanium alloy?

Grinding titanium alloy rods and TC4 titanium alloy presents challenges due to the material's tendency to fill the grinding wheel and the generation of high residual stress. However, these difficulties can be effectively addressed through the following methods.

 

1. Selection of Suitable Grinding Wheels:
Choosing an appropriate grinding wheel is crucial. A silicon carbide grinding wheel with a medium particle size (60~80) and medium hardness (J~M) is recommended. The surface speed should range from 700 to 1200m/min. For alumina grinding wheels, a lower speed of 550~600min is preferred, along with a moderate grain size.

2. Control of Wheel Speed and Feed:
Keeping the sand wheel speed and feed speed low helps mitigate the high-temperature rise at the metal-grinding wheel interface, reducing residual stress and improving surface finish.

3. Fire Risk Prevention:
To avoid the risk of catching fire due to oil fog encountered during titanium grinding, the work parts should be soaked in oil, effectively reducing this risk. Alternatively, an anti-rust ammonium nitrite water solution can completely eliminate the fire risk.

4. Effective Cooling:
Using a coolant or cutting liquid with a buffering agent, ceramic binder, or chlorinated/vulcanized cutting oil aids in achieving desirable results. Proper filtration should be implemented to eliminate "fishtail" stains resulting from the recycling of titanium particles.
