The 15th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition held in Zhuhai has garnered significant attention, showcasing the brilliance of the field of new materials. Particularly noteworthy is titanium alloy as a crucial material for the future development of aerospace.
In the new materials and applications section, a variety of innovative materials such as stealth materials, carbon fiber composites, and the highly regarded titanium alloy have provided audiences with unprecedented technological experiences. Titanium alloy and high-temperature alloys, as primary representatives of current aerospace structural materials, underscore the importance of metallic structural materials in the aviation sector.
With its exceptional performance, titanium alloy finds wide applications in the aerospace industry, serving as one of the main structural materials. However, the challenging machinability of titanium alloy, leading to significant tool wear, poor surface quality, and high processing costs, has been a limiting factor in its development. Therefore, researching the mechanisms of tool wear and surface quality formation during titanium alloy cutting processes, and optimizing the cutting parameters, are crucial for the development of aerospace and other related fields.
As military aircraft worldwide enter the supersonic era and aircraft engines transition to jet engines, titanium alloy has rapidly permeated the aerospace industry due to its outstanding performance. The proportion of titanium alloy used in the bodies of active aircraft is increasing, and in advanced aircraft engines, the proportion of titanium alloy typically remains above 20% and is on an upward trend.
As the most valuable strategic metal material of the 21st century, titanium alloy presents vast prospects for development, injecting new vitality into the aerospace industry.
