    metals Article Complex Multi-System Integration Problems Associated with Titanium Metalworking and Manufacture: System of Systems Aproach—Part I Adam Stroud 1 and Atila Ertas 2,* 1 Ellwood Texas Forge, Houston, TX 77045, USA; [email protected] 2 Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas Tech University, Lubbock, TX 79409, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-(806)-834-57788 Received: 11 January 2019; Accepted: 26 March 2019; Published: 9 April 2019 Abstract: Titanium has an excellent combination of properties that make it an attractive material for use in aerospace applications. The one area in which titanium is not aligned with customer needs is affordability. Components made from titanium are many times more expensive than those manufactured from other alloys. The supply chain of an extruded product is no exception. A breakthrough in extrusion cost reduction would enable wider adoption of titanium in many structural member applications. In an effort to accomplish any breakthrough in titanium component costs, the entire supply chain for manufacturing should be evaluated simultaneously. Due to the complex interaction of the many facets of the systems in a manufacturing supply chain, it is inferred that the supply chain in its entirety must be the focus of the design activity in order to be successful. Design improvements on a single facet of manufacture may have little to no effect on the manufacture of the component. If the improvement has a detrimental impact on another system in the supply chain, overall performance may be lowered. The use of a system of systems’ (SoS) design approach was used due to its capability to address complex multi-system integration problems associated with titanium metalworking and manufacture.

  • Chemical Machining and Milling
    CHEMICAL MACHINING AND MILLING Introduction Chemical machining (CM) is the controlled dissolution of workpiece material (etching) by means of a strong chemical reagent (etchant). In CM material is removed from selected areas of workpiece by immersing it in a chemical reagents or etchants; such as acids and alkaline solutions. Material is removed by microscopic electrochemical cell action, as occurs in corrosion or chemical dissolution of a metal. This controlled chemical dissolution will simultaneously etch all exposed surfaces even though the penetration rates of the material removal may be only 0.0025–0.1 mm/min. The basic process takes many forms: chemical milling of pockets, contours, overall metal removal, chemical blanking for etching through thin sheets; photochemical machining (pcm) for etching by using of photosensitive resists in microelectronics; chemical or electrochemical polishing where weak chemical reagents are used (sometimes with remote electric assist) for polishing or deburring and chemical jet machining where a single chemically active jet is used. A schematic of chemical machining process is shown in Figure 6. Figure 6: (a) Schematic of chemical machining process (b) Stages in producing a profiled cavity by chemical machining (Kalpakjain & Schmid) Chemical milling In chemical milling, shallow cavities are produced on plates, sheets, forgings and extrusions. The two key materials used in chemical milling process are etchant and maskant. Etchants are acid or alkaline solutions maintained within controlled ranges of chemical composition and temperature. Maskants are specially designed elastomeric products that are hand strippable and chemically resistant to the harsh etchants. Steps in chemical milling Residual stress relieving: If the part to be machined has residual stresses from the previous processing, these stresses first should be relieved in order to prevent warping after chemical milling.

H. Al-Ethari, Dr. Kadhim Finteel Alsultani, Nasreen Dakhil F. Abstract— Chemical machining has a considerable value in unique characteristics, it should be approached with the idea the solution of machining problems that are constantly arising that this industrial tool can do jobs not practical or possible due to introduction of new materials and requirement for high with any other metal working methods (Langworthy M., surface finish and dimensional accuracy, complicated shape and 1994). It has a considerable value in the solution of special size which cannot be achieved by the conventional machining processes. The present work is aimed at studying the problems that are constantly arising as the result of the effect of machining temperature, machining time, and previous introduction of new materials. cold working on the metal removal rate and the surface finish of All the common metals including aluminum, copper, zinc, chemically machined samples of stainless steel 420 using a steel, lead, and nickel can be chemically machined. Many mixture of acids (H2O + HCl + HNO3 + HF + HCOOH) as an exotic metals such as titanium, molybdenum, and zirconium, etchant. Alloy samples of (44.5×44.5×3mm) dimensions and cold as well as nonmetallic materials including glass, ceramics, rolled alloy samples with the same dimensions were chemically machined. Four machining temperatures (45, 50, 55, and 58oC) and some plastics, can also be used with the process for each of which five machining times (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10min) (Blak.JT, DeGarmo, 2007).

    Provo City Land Use Codes LIVING AREAS 1000 This major category applies to structures on the land and corresponding area used primarily as places to live whether on a temporary (e.g. transient lodging, hotel), semi-permanent (e.g. hotel, fraternity, sorority) or permanent (e.g. home or apartment) basis. This category may also include structures on parcels and corresponding area that are used for two or more activities yet the dominant use of the structure is for living purposes. An example of dual use of a structure where living is secondary might be a convalescent home. Since medical service is the primary use of the property, convalescent home is coded under Services 6516. The Household Units section has been developed to reflect certain structure characteristics as well as activity. For example, a code category and respective number is given to represent household units in terms of arrangement with respect to each other and to non-residential structures. Diagrams of these special conditions are provided to represent the meaning of respective code categories. 1100 HOUSEHOLD UNITS 1110 Single Family Dwelling 1111 Single family dwelling, detached (with or without an attached garage, on one parcel. Includes cabins, non-commercial) 1112 Single family dwelling, attached (to one or more single family dwelling) 1113 Single family dwelling, attached (to a commercial, industrial or other nonresidential use. Dwelling unit can be under, over, in front, behind or beside non residential use in the structure.) NOTE: If a single family dwelling is on the same parcel with a nonresidential use, and is not attached, subparcel and code use each separately.

    Project Number: DDB MQP 1111 CHEMICAL MILLING AND THE REMOVAL OF ALPHA CASE A Major Qualifying Project Report: submitted to the Faculty of the WORCESTER POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTE in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science by _______________________________ Jarrett Arredondo _____________________________________ Brenna Colleary _____________________________________ Stephanie Miskell ____________________________________ Brandon Sweet Date: April 26, 2010 Approved: ______________________________________ Professor David DiBiasio, Major Advisor _______________________________________ Professor Richard Sisson, Co-Advisor This report represents the work of one or more WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. Abstract Wyman-Gordon is currently attempting to more accurately measure metal removal rates of chemically milled pieces, optimize acid bath life, and determine any trends between the two. Accurately determining metal removal rates would result in a more efficient and less time consuming chemical milling process. Based on results, it was determined that alpha case plus the titanium alloy is removed during chemical milling. An optimized and more efficient bath would lead to less waste acid, thereby reducing environmental impacts, and enhanced production quality potentially resulting in increased revenue and decreased process costs. 2 Acknowledgements We would
