Blades are primarily made of stainless steel, titanium alloy, or high-temperature alloys, which exhibit difficult-to-machine characteristics including high hardness, high strength, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance. These materials cause severe tool wear, significant work hardening, and challenging cutting conditions.Most blades are machined via milling operations, and using specialized blade machining tools is an effective way to improve machining efficiency.

Fan casings are primarily made of titanium alloy, which exhibits difficult-to-machine characteristics including high hardness, high strength, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance. These materials cause severe tool wear, significant work hardening, and challenging cutting conditions.

Integral blisk machining presents greater challenges than blade machining. Variations in part rigidity and machining interference have a significant impact on the dimensional accuracy of blade profiles, making the correct combination of tool types, tool path design, and machining parameters critical.

These components are made of titanium alloy and require boring of internal cavities and milling of large "tulip-shaped" grooves.
