Characteristics of titanium alloy ●It is mainly composed of titanium that has a high strength and is light weight. It has excellent heat resistance. There are ⑨ various kinds of titanium alloys such as Ti - 5Aℓ - 2.5Sn, Ti - 5Ta, and the most popular Ti - 6Aℓ - 4V which is commonly used due to its good characteristics. Examples of problems in tapping ⑩ ●Titanium alloys have high temperature strength and the thermal diffusion is small, soabrupt abrasion occurs on the tap. ●The spring back on internal screw threads may cause diameters to shrink and the tap may be crimped causing breakage. ●Chip welding occurs easily on the cutting chamfer of the tap and the threads flank surface. The finished threads surface of the internal screw thread also becomes rough and coarse. ⑪ JIS ②-19
