i have some parts that i'm machining out of 4" 6al4v titanium bar stock. I had them cut into .15" thick disks and i mill them down to .09", and cut about a 2.9" hole out of the center (it's not a round hole, there's a few small features in it so it cant be bored). As soon as i take it out of the chuck, it potato chips. I think pie jaws will help, but i was thinking of stress relieving them in a sandwich fixture to make them flat again. Any thoughts on this process? We've done it before at a place i used to work, but i dont exactly want to call them and ask how we did it. These parts are my product and i'll be making tons of them.
Thanks!
