Titanium Material Data
| Density | 4.43 g/cm³ |
|---|---|
| Tensile strength | 950 MPa |
| Yield strength (0.2%) | 880 MPa |
| Hardness | 334 HB / 36 HRC |
| Melting point | 1604–1660 °C |
| Thermal conductivity | 6.7 W/m·K |
| Thermal expansion | 8.6 ×10⁻⁶/K |
| Electrical conductivity | 3.1% |
| Machinability (C36000 = 100%) | 22% |
| Grades we run | Gr 1, Gr 2 (CP), Gr 5 Ti-6Al-4V, Gr 23 ELI, Gr 7, Gr 9 |
Published typical values for Ti-6Al-4V (Gr 5). Other grades in the family differ — the certificate supplied with your order carries the actual heat-lot figures.
Heat has nowhere to go — thermal conductivity is 1/25th of aluminium, so it all goes into the tool. Low surface speed, heavy feed, flood coolant, and the cutter never stops moving.
How CNC Saw Cutting Titanium Works
The Titanium blank is bent or formed against tooling under CNC-controlled ram travel and back-gauge positioning. Bend allowance and springback are compensated in the program so finished angles hit the print.
Programming is driven directly by your 3D model or print. Work-holding, tool selection and the cutting strategy are planned around the critical features and the material before the first chip is cut. First-off inspection confirms the process is centred before production continues.
Achievable Tolerances for CNC Saw Cutting Titanium
| Feature | Standard | Precision |
|---|---|---|
| Bend angle | ±1.0° | ±0.5° |
| Flange length | ±0.30 mm | ±0.15 mm |
| Hole-to-bend distance | ±0.30 mm | ±0.15 mm |
| Minimum inside radius | 1.0 × thickness | 0.8 × thickness |
| Minimum flange height | 4 × thickness + radius | 3 × thickness + radius |
| Bend-to-bend spacing | ±0.30 mm | ±0.15 mm |
| Sheet thickness range | 0.5–8.0 mm | 0.5–4.0 mm |
Standard is what a normal quotation assumes. Precision is available on nominated features and is priced separately, because it needs extra setups, in-process gauging and CMM verification. Call out only the features that need it — blanket-tightening a drawing is the single most common reason a quote comes back expensive.
Working with Titanium
As a material, Titanium is high strength-to-weight, biocompatible, corrosion resistant. Our setup reflects the alloy's machinability so the finished part is accurate and free of avoidable defects.
We verify the exact grade and condition before machining, and traceable mill certs are available on request. We can work to your nominated material source or specification when required.
CNC Saw Cutting Tolerances & Surface Finish
Formed Titanium holds bend angles to about ±0.5° and consistent flange dimensions, with bend allowance compensated for the material and thickness.
Exact achievable figures depend on the alloy, the feature size and the part geometry. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will advise feasibility up front.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Finished Titanium parts can move straight into secondary operations under one roof. Typical add-ons are deburring, passivation, anodising, plating, blasting, polishing and laser marking. We coordinate the whole chain so you receive complete, inspection-ready parts.
CNC Saw Cutting Quality & Inspection
We control quality throughout the process, not just at the end. In-process checks plus final inspection — including CMM where specified — keep every Titanium part to print. Inspection reports, material certificates and first-article documentation can be supplied on request.
Design Tips for CNC Saw Cutting Titanium
We are happy to suggest design tweaks that improve manufacturability. Consistent bend radii, adequate flange lengths and grain-direction awareness reduce cracking and springback in formed Titanium. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Applications of CNC Saw Cutting Titanium
Customers order CNC Saw Cutting Titanium components for everything from instrumentation to structural and functional assemblies. Whether you need a single prototype or recurring production volume, the same process discipline applies.
How to Order CNC Saw Cutting Titanium
Getting a quote is simple. Share your model, the material grade, your quantity and target tolerances. You receive a clear quotation with lead time and honest manufacturability feedback.
Parts We Have Run in Titanium
Three representative CNC Saw Cutting Titanium jobs, with the callouts that actually drove the process plan. Yours will differ — these are here so you can judge whether your part is in our range before you spend time on an RFQ.
Mounting bracket
- Material
- Titanium
- Size
- 120 × 60 mm, 2 bends
- Key callouts
- Angle ±0.5°, hole-to-bend ±0.15 mm
- Batch
- 3,000 pcs
Holes placed at least 2.5 × thickness from the bend line so they do not distort.
Radiused cover
- Material
- Titanium
- Size
- R150 × 500 mm
- Key callouts
- Radius ±1 mm, no tool marks
- Batch
- 200 pcs
Bumped in 14 small steps rather than rolled, because the batch does not justify a roll set.
Chassis with countersinks
- Material
- Titanium
- Size
- 450 × 300 × 2 mm
- Key callouts
- Countersink depth ±0.1 mm, 6 bends
- Batch
- 700 pcs
Countersinks formed before bending while the sheet is still flat and supported.
Finishing Options for Titanium
| Finish | Thickness / effect | Why it gets specified |
|---|---|---|
| Type II anodise | — | Colour coding, biocompatible |
| Type III anodise | — | Anti-galling for threaded and sliding parts |
| Passivation | — | ASTM F86 for implant-grade parts |
| Electropolish | 5–20 µm removed | Removes the machining layer for medical use |
| Deburr / edge break | 0.05–0.3 mm | All parts unless the drawing says otherwise |
| Bead blast | Ra 1.6–3.2 µm | Uniform matt finish, hides tool marks |
| Laser marking | — | Part number, lot code, data matrix |

What We Need to Quote CNC Saw Cutting Titanium
- GeometrySTEP or IGES for the 3D model, plus a PDF drawing if you have tolerance callouts. A dimensioned sketch is enough to start.
- MaterialThe exact Titanium grade and condition — temper, heat-treat state or hardness. If you are not sure, tell us the function and we will suggest one.
- QuantityPrototype count and the expected annual volume. Both change how the part is made and therefore what it costs.
- TolerancesWhich features are critical. Everything else runs to our standard tolerance, which is what keeps the price sensible.
- FinishSurface treatment, cosmetic requirements, and any faces that must be masked.
- DocumentsWhether you need a material certificate, dimensional report, FAIR or PPAP with the shipment.
Missing something from the list is not a problem — send what you have. We will come back with the specific questions rather than a generic form.
