Solutions to the Problem of Thin-wall Processing of Titanium Alloys: How Five-axis Ultrasonic Technology Achieves Precision Manufacturing

Analysis of processed product characteristics
Workpiece material characteristics:
The titanium alloy TC4 metal bracket processed this time has high strength and corrosion resistance, and is widely used in the aerospace field. The material hardness reaches HRC36-40, which is a typical difficult-to-process alloy material.

Processing process characteristics:
Five-axis linkage milling process is adopted
Multi-angle drilling is required at thin walls
Processing allowance needs to be controlled within the tolerance zone of ±0.05mm

In-depth analysis of industry processing pain points
The current metal processing industry generally faces three major technical bottlenecks:

Thin-wall processing deformation control problem
• The original titanium plate thickness of 25mm is processed to 0.3-0.5mm finished product
• The deformation rate of traditional process reaches 38% (data source: JMP Precision Manufacturing Report)

Surface quality improvement dilemma
• Conventional milling surface roughness is only Ra1.6μm
• Post-processing process increases production cost by 25% (based on 2023 IMTS survey)

Efficiency and cost balance problem
• Manual deburring accounts for 30% of the total working time
• Tool wear costs account for 18% of the total processing cost
