VT machining offers CNC 5-Axis Machining for Ti-6Al-4V Titanium (UNS R56400 / R56401 (ELI) / TC4), typically supplied annealed or STA. Same alloy as Grade 5; ELI version (Gr23) is specified for implants.
CNC 5-Axis Machining Notes for Ti-6Al-4V Titanium
For a hard-to-cut grade like Ti-6Al-4V Titanium, multi-axis machining reduces the number of setups, so there are fewer re-clamps and less time spent cutting.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of Ti-6Al-4V Titanium weighs about 0.44 kg.
