My customer doesn't know how hard the titanium is except to say that they
go through 6-7 carbide end mills per 14"  turbine blade.  I'm a
chemist/roboticist, not a metalurgist or even a machinist but my
impression is that this is definitely hard.  Any idea how fast the silicon
carbide stones wear?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I received some literature and a vidio from this company that specializes in 
deburring applications using robotic systems.  They may be able to help.

I am certain that you would be able to match the various grain
structure, porosity and binding agents and ect. of in the grinding
wheel or stone to meet your needs. I think that the best thing for you
to do is to meet or talk to technical rep / engineer at C.L. Norton or
any of the other major grinding / stone manufactures for technical
details... tuitanium is very machinable when compaired to other metals
in my opinion. You are on the right track with grinding... from this
laymans perspective. Set your search engine on Norton and grinding for
there or anothers URL.
