Titanium needs low speeds, sharp tools and patience. We machine it, and the way to start is to send the details below.
What to send
Send a drawing or a sample, the grade if you know it, the quantity and what the part does. Commercially pure titanium and the common alloy Ti-6Al-4V are different to cut and different in strength, so the grade matters.
Mention any finish or size that is critical, such as a thread, a sealing face or a bearing fit. These affect how the part is planned and whether it needs extra finishing passes.
- Drawing, sketch or sample
- Titanium grade, if known
- Quantity
- Critical sizes, threads or finishes
Why titanium takes longer
Titanium holds the heat from cutting at the edge of the tool and tends to stick to it, so it is cut at lower speeds than steel with plenty of coolant. That slower cutting is the reason titanium parts are planned carefully before the first chip.
The metal itself, its grades and its uses are covered on the titanium material page.
Next step
Use the quote request to attach the drawing or photos, or call (775) 359-5570 Monday to Friday between 7:00 am and 3:30 pm. We work from specifications, drawings or samples and can assist with design.
