Machining of Nickel-Titanium Alloy
Drilling, as with turning, requires careful control of feed and speed, and the use of chlorinated lubricant is recommended.
Cylindrical centerless grinding is a useful process for developing a good surface on tubing and wire.

Machining of Nickel-Titanium Alloy
Abrasive methods such as abrasive wheel cut off and abrasive water jet cutting are also used in processing Nitinol.
Electro-discharge (EDM) machining is quite useful, although not really suitable for volume production.

Laser cutting and machining
has become a preferred method forcreating stents from Nitinol tube.Very complicated geometries areproduced using CNC controlled partmotion and finely focused pulsedNd:YAG laser beams. Laser cuttingis fast and very flexible, and cutgeometry is readily changedthrough reprogramming of the CNCcontrol.

Problem Statement
Machining of Nitinol is very difficult by reason of the very rapid work hardening of this alloy. Although with proper carbide tooling and control of tool geometry, speed and feed, excellent tolerance and finish can be achieved in turning operations.
NiTi alloy cannot be machined easily because of hightool wear, high cutting force, huge hardness and surface defects are made many problems into their machining.

There are a lot of parameters that have influence on the workpiece’ssurface quality. workpiece parameters (material, grain size), toolparameters (edge radius, rake angle, wear shape, coating) and cuttingparameters (feed, cutting speed and depth of cut) (Falvo 2007, Ulutan and Ozel
2011, Mackerle 2003; Sun and Feng 2006).

Special Technology
The optimum cutting speed is investigated as aconsiderable parameter and a principle factor inapplied stress to obtain a better machiningquality of NiTi. The interaction between variouscutting speeds and the temperature rise of theworkpiece has attracted much attention. Highstress can increase the hardness of NiTi due toits specific thermo-mechanical properties.
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Special Technology
Generally, the lower cutting force andconsequently lower stresses in themachining process improve themechanical properties, as well asreduction in hardness, distortion andresidual stress.

Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Special Technology
Generally, a complete simulation processbased on finite element method (FEM)enables to predict a comprehensive modelfor machining optimization and effectivelyreduces the cost of experimentationeffectively. Particularly, numerical modelingof the cutting operation reveals that thestress-strain rate, chip formations and toolstatement are costly and time consumable todetermine experimentally

As it clear, the value of micro-hardness has reduced remarkably, when the cutting speed has risen. Additionally, this diagram depicts 100 m/min as the acceptable amount of cutting speed where the lowest value of hardness is 240 HV ± 7.5 (Kaynak et. al.).
