Abstract: Aircraft parts and components used a lot of titanium as the material for body parts and engines. The materials offer rigidity, strength and light in weight. This unique characteristic was the major advantages in improving the payload capacity and improving the fuel consumption of the jet engines. The problem raised during the machining process of the material. Titanium is a hard material, elastic and poor thermal conductor. As the material is hard, higher machining force is required to perform the machining. Elasticity added the difficulties as it will spring away from the cutting tool which cause the tool to rub instead of cutting that can increased the heat. Thus, machining titanium alloy is expensive and difficult. This preliminary study looks into several machinability aspects and machining parameters for curved thin wall machining profile in the research. Machining accuracy and cutting tool wears were observed during the experiments. There are two set of machining parameters for the machining trials. At the same time, this research able to recommend the suitable machining parameters analysed from the experiments.
