Key Considerations for Selecting the Right Material for Your titanium CNC parts
There are many factors you should consider when selecting a material for your CNC machining project. Some of the key considerations are:
Purpose of the part
How will the part be used? Over the years, engineers have discovered what materials are good for what purpose. For example, aerospace components need materials that are strong and lightweight (e.g., aluminum, titanium, and high-strength steel alloys). Identifying the application(s) for which a CNC machined part will be used helps narrow down what materials are appropriate based on this gathered knowledge. If the component has multiple uses, it is important to consider all of them when choosing a material.
Operating temperature
What operating temperatures will the part be exposed to during use? A CNC machined part may be subject to high, low, or fluctuating temperatures during operations. It is vital the material you select has an operating temperature range broad enough to accommodate these conditions. Otherwise, the component may become brittle (if exposed to too low temperatures) or soft/warped (if exposed to too high temperatures).
Environment
What environmental conditions will the part be exposed to during use? The conditions to which a CNC machined part will be exposed can affect its short-term and long-term performance. For example, if it needs to perform in an environment with high temperatures, high humidity levels, or corrosive chemicals, it may be damaged if it is not built to withstand these conditions.
Operational stress/strain
What operating conditions will the part be exposed to during use? A CNC machined part may experience high stress and strain during operations. In these cases, it is essential to choose a material that can stand up to these demanding operating conditions.
Here are some tips for avoiding problems during CNC machining titanium parts
Lower your cutting speed if you are experiencing excess heat buildup or smearing; also try to glide softly into the entry point, instead of directly feeding into the stock.
Sharpen your cutting edges if you are seeing smearing or edge line problems.
Perform frequent tooling inspection and maintenance or replacement when machining titanium and replace cutting edges when you first see wear.
Fine tune your feed rates, likely based on trial and error; this may help to reduce heat buildup or smearing as well.
Utilize a high pressure, large flow volume of coolant with a preferred spindle and tool setup.
Reduce radial engagement to reduce the time that the cutting edge can generate heat, therefore allowing it to cool before the cutting tool re-enters the titanium workpiece
This may also allow for an increase in surface speed, without impacting tooling temperature significantly.
Ensure every single piece of equipment that completes the machining setup, including the workpiece itself, are all stable. Stability and rigidity in the setup will reduce vibrations, tolerance issues and heat generation.
Utilize conventional, or climb milling, to produce a greater amount of material at the entry point of the mill (for greater heat transfer to the chip) and thinner amount of material at the exit point of the mill lower the risk of chip adhesion issues.
Pay attention to axial depth: change it for each cut, to prevent tooling oxidation; also follow the ratio 8:1 around thin walls or unsupported features to avoid deformation.
Why Titanium for Titanium CNC Parts

Titanium doesn't dissipate heat swiftly, unlike metals like aluminum. This localized heat buildup can hasten tool wear. Combatting this.
Contending with Flexibility
Titanium's strength might suggest rigidity but can exhibit flexibility, leading to vibrations during machining. It's essential to have robust work-holding systems and machinery to cope with this nuance.
How to Clean CNC Machining Titanium CNC Parts
●Straightness is a form tolerance introduced in GD&T, which is used to indicate that the linear elements on the CNC lathe parts maintain an ideal straight line state, which is commonly referred to as the degree of straightness. Straightness tolerance is the maximum amount of variation allowed by the actual line to the ideal straight line, and there is no benchmark requirement. The standard form of straightness is used to ensure uniform two-dimensional tolerances on the surface of CNC lathe parts, as well as the axis straightness used to control the central axis of the part.
●Take out the CNC machined titanium parts and rinse them with clean water. Take a dry soft towel or cotton cloth and gently try the titanium to wipe in circular motions.
Titanium CNC parts exhibit excellent heat tolerance capacity and can withstand wide range of high temperature applications. The machined parts are strongly resistant to various chemicals.
