Things to note when cutting titanium alloys
In the process of cutting titanium alloy, matters that should be paid attention to are:
(1) Due to the small elastic modulus of titanium alloy, the clamping deformation and force deformation of the workpiece during processing are large, which will reduce the processing accuracy of the workpiece; the clamping force should not be too large when the workpiece is installed, and auxiliary supports can be added if necessary.

(2) If hydrogen-containing cutting fluid is used, it will decompose and release hydrogen at high temperatures during the cutting process, which will be absorbed by titanium and cause hydrogen embrittlement; it may also cause high-temperature stress corrosion cracking of titanium alloys.
(3) The chloride in the cutting fluid may decompose or volatilize toxic gases when used. Safety precautions should be taken when using it, otherwise it should not be used; parts should be thoroughly cleaned with chlorine-free cleaning agent immediately after cutting to remove chlorine-containing residues things.

(4) It is prohibited to use tools and fixtures made of lead or zinc-based alloys to come into contact with titanium alloys. The use of copper, tin, cadmium and their alloys is also prohibited.
