Application of titanium alloy in medical field

In the medical parts manufacturing industry, the main difference is the implant of more than 90% is made of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V; it isn't a familiar metal for this industry. Although they also use some stainless steel, surgeons prefer the titanium alloy. Because the strength to weight ratio and human tissue adhesion of titanium alloy are all better than other metals.
Compared with the familiar iron family metal and aluminum alloy, the processing of titanium alloy is more difficult. We can think of it as a kind of stainless steel, but its strength is more high, the chip fibrosis, in the cutter and cut out the cut more likely to edge collapse. Hard alloy cutter without coating, due to machining titanium alloy processing doesn't like iron with the chemical reaction, but it must maintain a sharp edge. In order to prevent the overheating in high speed machining, we recommend using the blade with PVD coating, such as IC908-IC907-IC1008.
The ISCAR has been specifically developed a series of small parts machining blade for titanium alloy. Their common characteristic is that they all have very sharp blade and the surface of grinding or precision grinding. Therefore, it obtains a smooth surface of ultra light degree, and it does not produce a built-up edge. In fact, it may provide IC908 for hard alloy material. It's popular in the processing of titanium alloy in aerospace industry for decades.
So far, ISCAR has  product line of a small titanium alloy parts machining, including a super sharp edge cutter, it has bowl and grinding surface ; The minimum diameter of solid carbide drill is 0.8mm, it has a groove of machining steel parts and reamer  groove of machining of titanium alloy. Four kinds of aggressive WF or MD chip breaking groove lathes and machining titanium alloy JETCUT cutter; The vertically arranged a self clamping groove cutter used for TANG-GRIP heavy duty machining of titanium alloy is coming soon.
