Short summary
To create reliable tiny threads in tough titanium for aerospace parts, this research used advanced computer simulations. We found that friction generates most of the tool stress and intense localized heat, which explains rapid tool wear. These insights help design better tools and optimize machining settings, improving manufacturing efficiency and product durability for critical engineering applications.
