5. Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from aerospace, medical, and industrial procurement teams using the BOZE calculator suite. Need a question answered not listed here? Contact our engineering team →
Which BOZE engineering tool should I use first?
If you are at the material-selection stage, start with the Titanium Grade Finder to filter 12 alloys by strength, corrosion, weldability, biocompatibility, and cost. If your grade is already specified, jump to the CNC Tolerance Checker to verify whether your tolerances fall within our standard, precision, or ultra-precision bands (Cpk ≥ 1.67). Procurement teams quoting part weight should use the Titanium Weight Calculator next.
Are these engineering calculators free to use?
Yes — all 8 BOZE engineering calculators are 100% free, browser-based, and require no login, installation, or personal data. They are designed for engineers, buyers, and DFM reviewers across aerospace, medical, chemical, marine, semiconductor, and energy industries. Each tool is built on published ISO / ASTM / ASME standards with full source disclosure on this page.
How accurate is the 5-axis CNC machining simulator?
The 5-axis CNC Machining Simulator uses a Taylor tool-life equation with adjustable Vc (cutting speed), fz (feed per tooth), ap (axial depth), ae (radial depth), alloy grade, and tool coating. It projects spindle RPM, table feed, MRR (cm³/min), cutting force vs the 1500 N chatter limit, and expected tool life. Outputs are calibrated against our internal CNC shop data and align with Sandvik and Kennametal machining handbooks.
Can I download my calculator results as a PDF or CSV?
Yes. The Titanium Grade Finder, CNC Tolerance Checker, Surface Roughness Comparator, and 5-Axis CNC Machining Simulator all support browser print-to-PDF for engineering reports. The Reverse Manufacturing Engine generates a structured procurement specification that you can copy into your RFQ or paste into the BOZE RFQ form at /rfq/.
Do these tools replace a full DFM review?
No. These are pre-RFQ self-service calculators to help you align your design with titanium manufacturability before you submit an RFQ. For complex components (multi-axis features, tight GD&T stacks, exotic alloys), BOZE engineering provides a free 24-hour DFM review at /rfq/ — every quote is reviewed by a manufacturing engineer, not a sales rep.
Which engineering standards do the calculators reference?
The tool suite references ASTM B348 (wrought Ti bar/billet), ASTM F136 (Grade 23 ELI for implants), ASME Y14.5 (GD&T), ISO 2768 (general tolerances), ISO 4287 (surface roughness Ra/Rz), ISO 5832-3 (Ti-6Al-4V for surgical implants), AMS 4928 (Ti-6Al-4V bar/forging for aerospace), and DIN 6784 (surface finish edges). Full source disclosure is provided in the Standards & Methodology section below.
