CNC Machining Titanium Parts

May 13, 2025

Titanium materials are materials with certain shapes, sizes, and performances made of titanium ingots and titanium alloy metals through certain pressure processing, and are also called titanium processed materials. Most of the titanium processing is through pressure processing, which causes the processed titanium (blank, ingot, etc.) to produce plastic deformation. According to the different processing temperatures of titanium materials, it can be divided into two types: cold processing and hot processing. According to the processing technology and product formation, it can be roughly divided into several categories such as plates, bars, pipes, forgings, castings, and so on. Widely used in high-end fields, such as high-end chemical part, aerospace part, medicine part, and marine engineering part, the demand for titanium processing materials in high-end fields has increased significantly, especially in the aerospace field.

CNC Machining Titanium Materials

Titanium ores are mainly ilmenite and rutile. The two most prominent advantages of titanium are high specific strength and strong corrosion-resistance, which determines that titanium must have broad application prospects in aerospace, weaponry, energy, chemical industry, metallurgy, construction, and transportation. The abundant reserves provide a resource base for the wide application of titanium.

CNC Machining Titanium Material Properties

Low density: the density of metal titanium is 4.51g/cm3, which is about 50% of copper and 77% of low carbon steel.

Corrosion resistance: It can generate an oxide film from titanium in the air. And it is almost completely noncorrosive by seawater. Known as “marine metal” corrosion. Chlor-alkali, soda ash, vacuum salt production, petrochemicals, ships, desalination, nuclear power plants, thermal power desulfurization, etc.

Temperature performance: The new titanium alloy can be used temporarily at 600°C or higher, and maintains ductility and toughness especially suitable for space coke consumption at low temperatures of -196~-253°C. Therefore, it is called “space metal”, aerospace, refrigeration industry, and other biocompatibility without metal allergy. Known as the “biometal” key information.

Superconductivity: The wire made of niobium-titanium alloy exhibiting zero resistance below the critical temperature can pass through any power equipment and other superconducting properties. At present, the consumption of titanium materials in my country is mainly in the fields of the chemical industry, aerospace and sports, and leisure.
