Titanium

Titanium Grade 5 is the strongest titanium alloy with good corrosion resistance and the ability to be welded. Titanium may be selected over other materials such as steel due to its ability to withstand high   and subzero temperatures. Common use cases include aerospace fasteners, turbine blades, engine components, sports equipment and marine applications.

While Grade 2 Titanium is not as strong as Grade 5, it is lightweight and offers outstanding corrosion resistance overall, in addition to great formability.

Material Finish

Titanium is very similar to most grades of stainless steel in terms of overall appearance. Titanium can be media blasted or tumbled to achieve a multitude of surface finishes. Additionally, a light, protective, coating may be applied using passivation.

Design Recommendations

Min Wall Thickness：0.5 mm

Min End Mill Size：0.8 mm (0.03 in)

Min Drill Size：0.5 mm (0.02 in)

Max Part Size：1200 x 500 x 152 mm[(x,y,z] (mill) 152 x 394 mm [d,h] (lathe)

Undercuts：Square profile, full radius, dovetail profiles

Radii（Depth） ：

· Depth must not exceed 12x drill bit diameter.

· For end mills, depth must not exceed 10x drill bit diameter.

Cost Saving Tip：To reduce costs, limit the number of part setups, the number of inspection dimensions or tight tolerances, and deep pockets with small radii.
