VT machining offers CNC Lathe Machining for Grade 23 Titanium (UNS R56401 / Ti-6Al-4V ELI), typically supplied annealed. Extra-low-interstitial Gr5 with better fracture toughness, for implants.
CNC Lathe Machining Notes for Grade 23 Titanium
On the lathe Grade 23 Titanium needs chip-breaker inserts and constant chip load to avoid long, stringy swarf.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of Grade 23 Titanium weighs about 0.44 kg.

What is CNC Lathe Machining Grade 23 Titanium and how is it done?
CNC Lathe Machining Grade 23 Titanium refers to cNC lathe machining produces precision rotational parts with combined turning, facing, drilling and threading. Applied to Grade 23 Titanium — high strength-to-weight, biocompatible and corrosion resistant — VT machining produces each part to your CAD drawing, selecting parameters from your tolerance, finish and quantity requirements.
Can VT machining make custom Grade 23 Titanium parts to my drawing?
Yes. Grade 23 Titanium turning 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.
What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Lathe Machining Grade 23 Titanium?
CNC Lathe Machining 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.
Why is Grade 23 Titanium a good choice for CNC Lathe Machining?
Grade 23 Titanium is high strength-to-weight, biocompatible and corrosion resistant, which makes it well suited to CNC Lathe Machining. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished Grade 23 Titanium turning part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Lathe Machining Grade 23 Titanium?
Achievable tolerances for Grade 23 Titanium turning depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Turning holds diameter tolerances to around ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
