VT machining offers CNC Tapping for Grade 9 Titanium (UNS R56320 / Ti-3Al-2.5V), typically supplied annealed or CWSR. Between CP and Gr5 in strength; easily formed into tubing.
CNC Tapping Notes for Grade 9 Titanium
Grade 9 Titanium is tapped with cut taps (spiral-point for through holes) and controlled rigid-tapping speed; thread milling is used where tap breakage would be costly.
For estimating, a 100 × 100 × 10 mm block of Grade 9 Titanium weighs about 0.45 kg.
Starting Parameters for CNC Tapping Grade 9 Titanium

What is the typical lead time and minimum order for CNC Tapping Grade 9 Titanium?
CNC Tapping prototypes for Grade 9 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 9 Titanium with CNC Tapping?
Surface finish on Grade 9 Titanium is controlled to your specification; we confirm the achievable Ra against your callout.
Why is Grade 9 Titanium a good choice for CNC Tapping?
Grade 9 Titanium is high strength-to-weight, biocompatible and corrosion resistant, which makes it well suited to CNC Tapping. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished Grade 9 Titanium machining part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What tolerances can you hold for CNC Tapping Grade 9 Titanium?
Achievable tolerances for Grade 9 Titanium machining depend on the alloy, geometry and feature size. Milling holds positional and dimensional tolerances to around ±0.01 mm, tighter with precision setups. Exact figures are confirmed against your drawing callouts.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Tapping on Grade 9 Titanium?
Machined Grade 9 Titanium edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
