With its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion, titanium is one of the most useful and popular metals for industrial engineers.

Titanium is a material that has high tensile strength and is difficult to corrode. It is typically blue-gray in color and can be strengthened by annealing it. .Titanium is easy-cutting material for machining. It is suitable for many CNC machining processes. Normally titanium parts are made out by titanium cutting, titanium turning, titanium milling, drilling and Grinding, etc. It is not common to apply extra surface finishing onto.

Reasons to use titanium :

High strength

Corrosion resistance

Good strength-to-weight ratio

Ductility

Good machinability

Surface treatment options

Recyclable

Consider when machining titanium

It may be necessary to use a larger chipload while lowering the CNC machine's RPM for these harder titanium alloys. Additionally, a high-pressure coolant can assist in the production of titanium parts of a higher quality and lessen the strain placed on your cutting tools.

Take into account the material's surface area. Titanium's surface area can cause it to drift more than other metals, oxidize more easily, and reduce cutting depths. Make sure your tool path allows for increased build-up and back and sidewall cut allowances by selecting a tool with an aggressive design.

Why machining of titanium is difficult?

Titanium alloys can be harder than common CNC machining and milling materials like aluminum alloys. This can result in increased tool wear and, simultaneously, an increased heat buildup at the point of contact.

Machining titanium is complex for other reasons, including oxidation, depletion of tungsten, torsion loads on the workpiece, induction hardening, etc.
