案例研究：LS Manufacturing 为全球十大航空航天机构定制 5 级钛合金流体分配板

热变形控制和高精度尺寸是解决复杂航空航天钛零件加工的主要障碍。以下是 LS Manufacturing 如何支持全球排名前 10 的航空航天机构解决这些问题的案例研究，您也可以将其用作参考。

客户的问题

全球排名前 10 的航空航天机构之一必须加工一块 0.8 毫米厚的 5 级钛合金流体分配板，其中包含 500 多个不规则形状的细长孔，孔间距仅为 1.5 毫米。由于之前供应商的热变形控制不佳，零件良率低于30%，开发周期被推迟，原材料浪费严重，这些都是您可能会遇到的问题

LS 制造解决方案

接到订单后，团队对零件图进行了免费的DFM审核，发现老供应商的切割路径非常不合理，导致切割时的热量集中在一点，从而产生热应力。基于此，我们提出了多技术协同解决方案：

1. 增加水冷激光切割阶段，实时吸收切割过程中产生的热量，使零件表面温度保持在80℃以下，从源头上减少零件的热变形。
2. 采用纳秒级短脉冲激光限制激光材料相互作用时间，从而减少热影响区，避免孔内衬熔化和多孔壁变形。
3. 设计特殊的碳化硅夹具，不仅能固定零件，还能帮助散热，同时对零件进行物理塑形，防止切割后翘曲。
4. 改变切割路径，使用“由内而外、分段切割”的逻辑，以分散热应力，从而保持孔位置和平整度。

结果和价值

航天局通过上述方法，成功将流体分配板的平整度控制在0.03mm以内，孔位偏差控制在0.015mm以内。 元件良率从不足30%大幅提升至99.5%，同时研发周转时间缩短40%，完全避免了昂贵的电解抛光工艺。这是与 LS Manufacturing 合作的真正好处，该机构将与其长期合作，因为他们已经签署了合同。

无论您有复杂的航空航天钛零件加工需求，LS Manufacturing 都可以提供定制解决方案。 For detailed technical parameters of this case, please contact their engineers to obtain a complete case report and technical solution free of charge.

How To Optimize The Key Factors Of The Final Quotation For Titanium Laser Cutting Service Through Process Optimization?

One of the major factors when you decide to engage a titanium laser cutting service is the production price. Quite often you might only give consideration to how much one operation of the process costs, but what you might also be missing are the long term savings that can be achieved by optimizing the processes. Here is an analysis of how process optimization can lead to an overall price reduction for you.

Understanding Pricing through Four Main Elements

The costs of titanium laser cutting services are mainly divided into material costs, laser processing time costs (which depend mainly on the cutting speed), costs of auxiliary gases consumption, and quality control costs. Among these, laser processing time and auxiliary gas consumption are the two main elements that not only affect the price but also represent the main areas where LS Manufacturing can assist you in minimizing your expenses by process optimization.

Specific Measures to Reduce Pricing Through Process Optimization

LS Manufacturing will help you with lowering your total price and enhancing your cost efficiency mainly through 3 process improvements:

• Switching to a powerful laser with high power density could make the cutting of 5mm thick titanium alloy 15% faster, thus decreasing laser processing time and cutting down labor costs.
• Changing the auxiliary gas injection technique to one that is more gas saving and ordering the gas in large quantities to get the best price will together bring you 10% of the gas consumption money back.
• Employing intelligent nesting systems and common edge cutting technology will increase material utilization, decrease waste, and lower the material cost, it is also a main technique for cost reduction.

常见问题解答

Q1: How does LS Manufacturing prevent hydrogen embrittlement when working with grade 5 titanium alloy?

LS Manufacturing controlling the environmental humidity and using high purity dry argon gas to shield the surface is enough to ensure hydrogen atom penetration is less than 10ppm, thus preventing hydrogen embrittlement.

Q2: Is your laser cutting capable of processing medical grade titanium parts complying with the ISO 13485 standard?

LS Manufacturing implements the system as per ISO 13485 and only releases the medical grade titanium parts with implant grade documentation and packaging after confirming the respective tests and that all the necessary records are being traced.

Q3: How is it possible for laser cutting techniques to not burn the edges of thin walled titanium alloy parts (< 0.5mm)?

LS Manufacturing by equipping its machines with short pulses above 10kHz, fine nozzles, and high speed cutting can not only prevent the edge burning but also assure excellent surface quality of thin walled titanium alloy parts.

Q4: What is the narrowest cutting width that LS Manufacturing's titanium laser cutting service can achieve?

The minimum kerf width attained by LS Manufacturing's titanium laser cutting service is generally kept within 0.12-0.15mm that is apt for your highly integrated parts requirements.

Q5: Could I get grade 5 titanium alloy from your stock, or do customers generally have to give drawings and materials to you?

LS Manufacturing keeps a supply of Grade 5 and 23 titanium plates. This way, you can get both the purchasing and processing done at the same place. On the other hand, you can also provide us with materials of special specifications.

Q6: Is it possible to TIG weld the edges of a laser cut titanium alloy directly?

LS Manufacturing laser cutting parts have fiercely thin oxide layers on the edges. Mechanically cleaning the part a little should be enough for you to TIG weld. We also offer a secondary oxide layer removal treatment if you want it.

Q7: Why pick LS Manufacturing for laser cutting over waterjet cutting?

With LS Manufacturing laser cutting speed is considerably faster than waterjet cutting, you're not going to use any abrasives also for thicknesses under 5mm it will give you extremely precise results, which in turn will reduce the amount of your subsequent correction work.

Q8: What is your fastest lead time in days for very urgent orders?

If you have very mature drawings for the samples, LS Manufacturing can perform the cutting, quality inspection, and shipment just in 48 hours, so you can even manage to shorten your project cycles.

摘要

Laser cutting titanium alloys involves the precise regulation of heat energy, the flow of gases, and the properties of the material. These factors influence the safety of your product and its performance directly. LS Manufacturing, with you as the center, elevates titanium laser cutting services to precision production, enabling you to address challenges in aerospace and medical processing, as well as to achieve cost reduction and efficiency improvement.

Thinking of upgrading your titanium alloy parts solutions? Do not allow defect rates and high post-processing costs to diminish your profits. On the one hand, you might be an aerospace engineer, on the other hand, if you are a medical purchasing manager, of course, the expert team at LS Manufacturing is looking forward to your contact.
