Titanium machining demands specialized tooling and carefully controlled cutting parameters, because the material has low thermal conductivity and a tendency to work-harden. At SHBD Metal, we use carbide and coated-carbide tools with optimized feed rates and high-performance coolant systems to minimize heat buildup and tool wear.
Our Swiss-type turning cells achieve ultra-tight tolerances as fine as ±0.002–0.005 mm on small-diameter titanium components, depending on part geometry and material grade. In addition, our 5-axis CNC milling centers produce complex aerospace- and medical-grade titanium geometries with high repeatability and dimensional stability.
Titanium alloys offer excellent corrosion resistance compared to many alternative materials. Precise mixtures of alloys in different titanium grades and their high melting point and machinability allow producing titanium CNC machined parts with unique properties to suit every application. As the most biocompatible metal, titanium is used extensively in medical industries.
