Newsletter #3 The Titanium Challenge Dear[[^^name^^||Current Subscriber]], In recent years, titanium has become dramatically more significant as a workpiece material in machine... is also a common material used for implants and devices within the body. Titanium's high hardness and low thermal conductivity make it more challenging to machine than other metals... that most machine shops are more accustomed to facing. CrossWindhas many years of titanium machiningexperience. Thebone screwspictured above are of different lengths and diameters...

at 408-844-9940!! As anEngineer, do youspend enough time in the machine shop? This question was posed onBrian Jones'Industrial Interface Blog. ReadChuck's summerized comment... that was posted in Linkedin: "I am a machinist with 37 years machining experience and have been a machine shop owner for almost 10 years. I frequently invite engineers over to sit down... and collaborate with me to make their design more 'machinable'. This optimizesefficiency and saves time and money for them and their companies. I strongly believe that CrossWind...

Newsletter #4 Cost Effective Designing for Machined Production Dear[[^^name^^||Current Subscriber]], I know this is pretty basic, but sometimes we just need to be reminded... to accomodate the design manufacturability? The second thing that determines cost ismaterial selection.Can we use 303 SST versus 304 SST? 303 SSTis much easier to machine, but if it needs... to be weldedthen 304 SST would be required. High nickel alloys are alsodifficult to machine due tohardness and toughness.Harder materials cause tooling breakage, which willcause...
