Abstract
The influence of the chemical composition and different types of heat treatment on the structure formation and the hardness of a VST2K titanium alloy is studied. The dependence of the heat and pressure cutting parameters on the chemical composition, the structure, and the hardness of the VST2K alloy is found. The minimum cutting force and the temperature of samples with a hardness of 35–36 HRC in the cutting zone are determined. It is found that the dependence of the temperature–force parameters of the structural state of the alloy increases with molybdenum equivalent [Mo]eq. The correlation between the geometric parameters of chips with the machinability is studied. It is shown that the distance between the shear bands having formed in a chip structure can be used to estimate the machinability of the alloy only within one composition and that additional hydrogen alloying of the VST2K alloy degrades the machinability.
