Abstract

In this paper, the characteristics of TC4 titanium alloy material which is difficult to be machined by traditional mechanical processing were analyzed. Therefore, the short electric arc machining system was used to test the titanium alloy, and the influence of different machining parameters on the material removal quantity and surface roughness of the machined material were compared. Electric machining has the characteristics of high processing efficiency and without cutting force. Accordingly, the microstructure and mechanical properties of the surface layer of the machined titanium alloy were tested and analyzed. Finally, we can draw a conclusion that the thickness and hardness of the heat affected layer have little influence on the properties of the titanium alloy, the metallographic structure of the machined surface layer is still easy to be second processing and no high-temperature sintering phenomenon. This research provides a necessary theoretical basis and technological methods for the electric machining technology in machining applications of special difficult to machine materials.
