What material thickness or size range suits CNC Centerless Grinding Grade 23 Titanium?
We machine Grade 23 Titanium across a broad size range; share your part envelope for confirmation.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Centerless Grinding Grade 23 Titanium?
Achievable tolerances for Grade 23 Titanium grinding depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Grinding routinely holds single-micron tolerances on diameter, flatness and parallelism. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
Does CNC Centerless Grinding Grade 23 Titanium require dedicated tooling?
Most Grade 23 Titanium grinding work uses standard cutting tools and CNC programs; dedicated fixtures are made only when geometry or volume requires them.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Centerless Grinding Grade 23 Titanium?
CNC Centerless Grinding prototypes for Grade 23 Titanium can be produced quickly and scaled to series production. Send your drawing and quantity and we will advise lead time and any minimum order.
What surface finish is achievable on Grade 23 Titanium with CNC Centerless Grinding?
Grinding can take Grade 23 Titanium to a fine finish — typically Ra 0.1–0.4 µm, and to a mirror grade on suitable alloys.
Can VT machining make custom Grade 23 Titanium parts to my drawing?
Yes. Grade 23 Titanium grinding is made to order from your CAD/2D drawing. Share your geometry, material grade, tolerance and quantity and we will confirm feasibility, lead time and pricing.
