Titanium CNC Machining

What Is Titanium CNC Machining?

Titanium CNC machining produces precision components from titanium alloys or commercially pure titanium, using controlled feeds, tooling, and cooling to manage the metal’s heat retention and tool wear. Titanium is selected when an assembly needs a high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, or biocompatibility, with finishes chosen based on function rather than appearance. It is common in aerospace structures, medical instruments, and marine or chemical equipment where corrosion risk is high. To quote accurately, share drawings, quantity, grade, and any inspection or documentation requirements — we will return pricing plus engineering feedback on manufacturability.

Common Part Types

Aerospace Brackets

Medical Instrument Components

Fasteners & Fittings

Shafts & Bushings

By Titanium Grade

Grade 1

Commercially pure and highly formable, suited to corrosion-exposed housings and chemical-handling components that do not require high strength.

Grade 2

The most common general-purpose grade, balancing strength and corrosion resistance for marine hardware, brackets, and process equipment.

Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V)

The workhorse aerospace alloy, chosen for its strength-to-weight ratio in structural brackets, fasteners, and load-bearing mechanisms.

Medical Grade (Ti-6Al-4V ELI)

Extra-low-interstitial titanium for implant-adjacent components and surgical instruments, machined with controlled surface finish and full material traceability.

By CNC Process

CNC Milling

3-axis to 5-axis toolpaths for pockets, faces, and multi-hole patterns, with fixturing and feed control tuned to manage titanium’s heat and work-hardening tendencies.

CNC Turning

Shafts, bushings, rings, and threaded parts machined with controlled concentricity, using tooling and speeds selected to limit tool wear on titanium stock.

5-Axis Machining

Complex surfaces, angled holes, and multi-face features completed in fewer setups, improving datum control on compound-angle parts.

Swiss Turning

Small-diameter, long-length parts with tight length control, common for medical device pins and instrument components.

Wire & Sinker EDM

Used for sharp internal corners, fine slots, and profiles that are difficult to reach with end mills, minimizing burr risk on finished features.

By Industry

Aerospace

Weight-sensitive structural brackets and high-load interfaces machined to defined tolerance stacks with full inspection documentation.

Medical

Instrument and device components requiring controlled burr management, fine surface finish, and traceable inspection records.

Defense

Structural interfaces and housings for rugged assemblies where corrosion resistance and drawing compliance are specified.

Industrial

Flanges, brackets, and process-equipment hardware for corrosion-exposed or vacuum-system environments.

By Geometry & Features

Thin-Wall Parts

Wall-thickness-critical housings machined with controlled tool engagement and fixturing to reduce distortion while keeping mass low.

Deep-Cavity Parts

Pockets and internal cavities machined with extended tooling and chip-evacuation strategies to control heat build-up.

Small Precision Parts

Small bores, micro threads, and fine details held to tight tolerances for medical and instrument assemblies.

Multi-Face Parts

Features distributed across multiple angles, machined with indexed setups or 5-axis strategies to keep positional accuracy.

Inspection & Documentation

Material Traceability

Parts shipped with material certification and heat-lot identifiers for regulated supply chains.

FAI Package

Ballooned drawings, measured results, and revision control for first-article inspection on aerospace and regulated programs.

CMM Reports

Dimensional and GD&T measurement results for critical features, with sampling plans or full inspection as required.
