Research abstract
Titanium metal is used extensively in the fabrication of commercial and military aircraft components due to its ideal strength to weight properties. However, its hostile chemical corrosion effects on other materials make it a difficult metal to machine. This research effort will utilize the thermochemical inertness of Zirconium diboride to titanium to develop a highly efficient cutting tool insert material. This objective will be accomplished by using materials engineering innovations to optLmize the zirconium diboride matrix properties, while improving its toughness through the addition of a reinforcement material to form a suitable composite structure. The research effort will optimize material properties and proceed to actual titanium Hiachining tests to correlate insert material properties and machine tool performance.
