Material

Titanium

Aerospace and medical grades with high strength-to-weight ratio.

Material decision support

How this alloy behaves in your project.

Below is what we tell buyers about this alloy: where it pays for itself, where it costs you in cycle time or tooling, and which records to specify for shipment. Compare against your operating environment and tolerance stack before you finalize the print.

Titanium alloys for CNC-machined weight-sensitive, corrosion-exposed and specified high-strength parts. Commercially pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V have different strength and machining requirements. State the exact grade, product form and documentation needs.

Reference grades

Grades to consider for Titanium

CodeNotes
Grade 1CP titanium — best formability
Grade 2CP titanium — most common CP
Grade 4CP titanium — highest CP strength
Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V)Workhorse aerospace alloy
Grade 5 ELIExtra-low interstitials — medical
Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V)Tubing — aircraft hydraulic
Ti-6Al-4V STASolution-treated & aged — peak strength

Typical uses

Typical uses for Titanium

Aerospace structural fittings

For structural fittings, specify Grade 5 or the drawing grade, product form, certificate format and finish. Thin-wall titanium needs a heat and distortion review.

Medical-equipment and instrument parts

For equipment and instrument parts, specify grade, finish and traceability. Implant production is not assumed from a titanium material page.

Marine & chemical hardware

For marine or chemical hardware, specify grade, corrosion environment and whether commercially pure titanium is required instead of Ti-6Al-4V.

How we work

Materials, tolerances, equipment

Titanium alloys for CNC-machined weight-sensitive, corrosion-exposed and specified high-strength parts. Commercially pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V have different strength and machining requirements. State the exact grade, product form and documentation needs.

How should I select the grade?

Commercially pure titanium and Ti-6Al-4V have different strength and machining requirements. State the exact grade, product form and documentation needs. Material availability, stock size and certificate requirements are confirmed during quotation; a listed grade is not a stock guarantee.

What affects machining and inspection?

Review heat buildup, tool wear, thin-wall deflection and traceability. Functional tolerances depend on part geometry, material condition, fixturing and measurement method, not only the material family.

What should I specify for finishing?

State the finish standard, thickness, color or texture, masking and functional surfaces. Consider coating build in fits and threads. Approve any material or finishing substitution in writing.

Material quotation checklist

Send the exact grade and condition, 2D drawing, STEP model, quantity, critical features, service environment and traceability requirements. Tecpreva can review machining suitability and proposed alternatives before production.
