CNC Turning Capability for Grade 7 Titanium
- High strength-to-weight
- Biocompatible

- Tolerance to ±0.01 mm
Grade 7 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.
Machining Grade 7 Titanium with CNC Turning
When turning Grade 7 Titanium, machinability is difficult; low speeds, high feeds, flood coolant to manage heat. Our process plan reflects this so the finished part holds its tolerances without distortion or poor finish.
Documented parameters for Grade 7 Titanium mean predictable cycle times and stable, repeatable results.
Achievable Tolerances for CNC Turning Grade 7 Titanium
| Feature | Standard | Precision |
|---|---|---|
| Outside diameter | ±0.05 mm | ±0.005 mm |
| Bore diameter | H9 | H6 |
| Length / shoulder position | ±0.10 mm | ±0.020 mm |
| Concentricity OD to ID | 0.05 mm TIR | 0.010 mm TIR |
| Roundness | 0.02 mm | 0.005 mm |
| Thread class | 6g / 2A | 4h / 3A |
| Surface finish, as turned | Ra 1.6 µm | Ra 0.4 µm |
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.
CNC Turning Quality & Inspection
Quality is built in, not inspected on. We monitor key features during the run and confirm them at final inspection, with CMM verification available for tight tolerances. We provide the inspection and traceability records your quality system requires.
Design Tips for CNC Turning Grade 7 Titanium
Small design adjustments often cut cost and lead time. Consistent diameters, standard thread forms and avoiding extremely long, slender features help Grade 7 Titanium turned parts stay concentric and economical. If you send your model early, we will return practical DFM feedback before you commit to production.
Why Grade 7 Titanium?
Customers select Grade 7 Titanium for CNC Turning because it is high strength-to-weight, biocompatible and corrosion resistant. We handle grade verification and any required heat treatment or finishing.
Secondary Operations & Finishing
Most Grade 7 Titanium parts need some finishing, which we manage in-house or through vetted partners. Options include deburring and edge-breaking, heat treatment, surface grinding, polishing, and plating or anodising for corrosion resistance and appearance. Give us the finished-part requirement and we will sequence every operation correctly.
CNC Turning Tolerances & Surface Finish
Turned Grade 7 Titanium holds diameter tolerances to about ±0.005 mm with concentricity within 0.01 mm and good roundness. Turned finishes of Ra 0.4–0.8 µm are achievable with finishing passes and sharp tooling.
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.
Applications of CNC Turning Grade 7 Titanium
Grade 7 Titanium parts made this way are found throughout aerospace, medical, automotive, electronics and industrial equipment. Prototype, bridge and production volumes are all welcome.

What We Need to Quote CNC Turning Grade 7 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 Grade 7 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.
