Titanium Grades We Machine

We machine a range of commercially pure titanium and titanium alloys for prototypes and production parts. Material selection depends on required strength, corrosion resistance, weight, temperature performance, and application requirements.

Titanium Materials & Machining Specifications

Choose the right titanium grade for your application and review our typical CNC machining capabilities. Material selection and achievable tolerances depend on part geometry, feature complexity, performance requirements, and drawing specifications.


Choosing the Right Titanium Grade

Titanium Machining Tolerances & Specifications

  • Grade 2 Titanium

    Best for corrosion resistance and general industrial use.
    Grade 2 is commercially pure titanium with excellent corrosion resistance and good ductility, making it suitable for chemical, marine, medical, and industrial components.

  • Grade 5 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V)

    Best for high strength and lightweight performance.
    Grade 5 is the most widely used titanium alloy for CNC machining, offering an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, good corrosion resistance, and broad applicability in aerospace and precision engineering.

  • Grade 23 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V ELI)

    Best for demanding medical and high-performance applications.
    Grade 23 provides similar strength to Grade 5 with improved ductility and fracture toughness, making it suitable for applications requiring greater material reliability.

  • Quick Selection Guide

    Choose Grade 2 when corrosion resistance and ductility are the priority, Grade 5 for high strength and general high-performance machining, and Grade 23 when enhanced toughness and demanding application requirements are involved.

Titanium Machining Challenges & How We Control Them

Titanium offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability, but it is more demanding to machine than many common metals. Low thermal conductivity, high cutting forces, tool wear, and part distortion can all affect machining stability. Our process focuses on tooling, heat management, workholding, chip control, and inspection to maintain accuracy and repeatability.

  • +
    -
    Heat Concentration
    Titanium has low thermal conductivity, which means much of the heat generated during machining remains concentrated near the cutting edge instead of dissipating through the workpiece. Excessive heat can accelerate tool wear and affect surface quality. We use suitable cutting parameters, effective coolant delivery, and controlled tool engagement to manage heat throughout the machining process.
  • +
    -
    Tool Wear
    Titanium can create demanding cutting conditions that increase tool wear, especially during long machining cycles, deep features, or higher material-removal operations. Worn tools can affect dimensions, surface finish, and process consistency. We monitor tool condition and select tooling and machining strategies based on titanium grade, geometry, and production requirements.
  • +
    -
    Cutting Stability & Vibration Control

    Rigid machining conditions are important when cutting titanium because long tool reach, weak workholding, or unstable engagement can lead to chatter and tool deflection. We optimize fixturing, tool length, cutting paths, and setup strategy to improve stability. This is particularly important for complex 5-axis parts and features requiring longer tools.

     

  • +
    -
    Chip Control & Evacuation

    Titanium chips can retain significant heat and may interfere with the cutting process if they are not removed efficiently. Poor chip evacuation can lead to recutting, surface damage, or premature tool wear. We use appropriate chip-breaking strategies, coolant flow, and machining sequences to keep the cutting area clear and stable.

     

  • +
    -
    Thin-Wall Distortion
    Titanium components are often designed with thin walls and lightweight structures to reduce weight. These features can move or distort as material is removed or cutting forces are applied. Stable workholding, balanced roughing, controlled material removal, and finishing allowances help reduce distortion and maintain dimensional consistency.
  • +
    -
    Surface Finish & Dimensional Accuracy

    Surface quality and dimensional accuracy can be affected by heat, vibration, tool wear, cutting force, and part rigidity. We use controlled finishing passes, suitable tooling, and inspection at critical stages to maintain drawing-defined requirements. Tight-tolerance features are reviewed individually based on geometry and inspection needs.

     

Surface Finishes for Titanium Parts

Surface finishing can improve the appearance, wear performance, cleanliness, or functional characteristics of CNC machined titanium parts. The appropriate finish depends on the titanium grade, part geometry, operating environment, and application requirements.
  • Titanium parts can be supplied directly after CNC machining with visible tool marks and a natural metallic appearance. As-machined finishes are suitable for many functional components where additional cosmetic or protective treatment is not required.

  • Anodizing modifies the titanium oxide layer and can provide distinctive surface colors without applying conventional paint. It is commonly used for identification, cosmetic purposes, and applications where a controlled titanium surface finish is required.
    naite-tech-anodizing-surface-treatment-services
  • Bead blasting creates a uniform matte or satin surface and helps reduce the appearance of machining marks. It is often selected when a consistent non-reflective finish is preferred for visible or functional titanium components.

  • Mechanical polishing improves surface smoothness and appearance by reducing machining marks and surface irregularities. Different polishing levels can be specified depending on cosmetic, cleanliness, or functional requirements.

  • PVD coatings can be applied to titanium components when additional wear resistance, surface hardness, friction control, or decorative appearance is required. Coating selection depends on the functional requirements of the finished part.

  • Additional processes such as deburring, tumbling, blasting, cleaning, marking, and specialized coatings can be arranged according to drawing specifications and end-use requirements. Finishing feasibility is reviewed based on part geometry, tolerances, and titanium grade.

Quality Control & Inspection for Titanium Parts

Titanium parts are often used in demanding applications where dimensional accuracy, material verification, and repeatability are critical. We follow a structured inspection process throughout production and can provide quality documentation based on drawing, tolerance, and project requirements.
Material Verification & Traceability​​​​​​​

Titanium grade and material specifications are verified before machining to help ensure the correct alloy is used for production. Material certificates and traceability records can be provided when required, especially for projects involving Grade 2, Grade 5, or Grade 23 titanium.


In-Process Dimensional Inspection​​​​​​​
Critical dimensions can be checked during machining to identify dimensional variation, tool wear, or process changes before the part is completed. This helps maintain consistency throughout prototypes and repeat production runs.​​​​​​​
CMM Inspection​​​​​​​
For complex geometries, positional tolerances, profiles, and tighter-tolerance features, CMM inspection can be used to verify drawing-defined dimensions and geometric relationships that may be difficult to measure with conventional tools.​​​​​​​
Precision Measuring Equipment​​​​​​​
Depending on feature size and tolerance requirements, inspection may include micrometers, calipers, height gauges, bore gauges, optical measuring systems, and other precision instruments. Measurement methods are selected according to part geometry and accuracy requirements.​​​​​​​
First Article & Final Inspection​​​​​​​
First article inspection can be performed to verify key dimensions and manufacturing requirements before full production. Completed titanium parts are then inspected against approved drawings and specified quality requirements before shipment.​​​​​​​
Inspection Reports & Quality Documentation​​​​​​​
Dimensional inspection reports, material certificates, Certificates of Conformance, and other documentation can be supplied based on project requirements. Special reporting or traceability requirements can be reviewed before production begins.​​​​​​​
Send us your drawings and quality requirements so we can confirm the appropriate inspection plan before production.​​​​​​​
