CNC Machining for Titanium Parts
To address the challenges of machining high-strength titanium alloys, we utilize advanced five-axis simultaneous machining technology. This ensures that every complex component—from aerospace structures to medical implants—achieves a perfect surface finish and superior dimensional accuracy, effectively overcoming titanium’s tendency for work hardening and heat accumulation.
Why Choose Our Titanium Machining Services?
Superior Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Titanium offers the strength of steel at only 60% of the weight, making it the premier choice for aerospace and high-performance applications.
Single Setup Precision
Leveraging advanced turn-mill centers, we complete complex titanium parts in a single setup, eliminating positional errors caused by secondary handling.
Titanium DFM Expert Support
Our engineers manually review your designs to solve titanium-specific challenges like work hardening and heat dissipation, optimizing tool paths for cost-efficiency.
Selection of Premium Aluminum Alloys
| Alloy Grade | Technical Characteristics | Typical Applications |
| Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) | The “workhorse” alloy. High strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and heat treatable. | Aerospace turbines, structural parts, and sports equipment. |
| Grade 2 (CP Ti) | Commercially pure titanium. Superior corrosion resistance and high formability. | Chemical processing, heat exchangers, and marine hardware. |
| Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) | Extra Low Interstitial version of Grade 5. Bio-compatible with high damage tolerance. | Surgical implants, bone screws, and orthopedic plates. |
| Grade 7 | Palladium-enhanced titanium. Highest resistance to reducing acid environments. | Specialized chemical industry components and desalination. |
What is Titanium?
Titanium is a premium transition metal known for its extraordinary corrosion resistance and the highest strength-to-density ratio of any metallic element. Unlike stainless steel, it is non-magnetic, bio-compatible, and maintains structural integrity at both cryogenic and elevated temperatures. Its unique properties make it the premier choice for jet engines, deep-sea exploration, and high-end medical technology.
Titanium Machining Applications
Titanium’s advanced properties make it indispensable for high-stakes industries:
Aerospace: Compressor blades, discs, and airframe components.
Medical: Surgical equipment, bone screws, and dental implants.
Industrial: Pressure vessels and chemical reactor linings.
Finishing Options for Titanium
Anodizing is the premier post-processing choice for titanium CNC parts, offering several benefits:
Increased Corrosion Resistance: Protects parts in harsh chemical or marine environments.
Color Coding: Often used for medical implants (Grade 23) to differentiate sizes.
Reduced Friction: Smooths the surface to prevent galling during assembly.
Enhanced Appearance: Provides a premium, high-tech aesthetic finish.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM) Tips for Titanium Machining
Optimize your aluminum designs for CNC machining with these four essential DFM rules to reduce costs and improve quality:
Wall Thickness: Maintain at least 2.0mm. Titanium’s lower modulus of elasticity compared to steel makes thin walls prone to deflection and “chatter” during milling.
Internal Radii: Use a minimum radius of 3.0mm. Small corners cause heat buildup and rapid tool failure in titanium; larger radii allow for faster, more stable machining.
Thread Depth: Strictly limit to 1.5x diameter (1.5D). Tapping titanium is high-risk due to its elasticity; deeper threads significantly increase the chance of broken taps.
Blind Holes: Avoid flat-bottom holes. Designing with a standard drill point (118° or 135°) helps chip evacuation and reduces stress on the tool.
