SELECTION OF CUTTING TOOL MATERIAL FOR MACHINING TITANIUM ALLOYS

The criteria for selecting tool materials for processing titanium alloys can vary and are interrelated. This article analyzes the main factors and criteria for selecting cutting tool materials for processing titanium alloys. The goal of this work is to determine the optimal tool material that provides high durability and efficiency in the cutting process. The practical significance of this research lies in justifying the selection of WC-group hard alloys with a cobalt content of 6-8% as the most suitable for processing titanium alloys.
