Materials: Titanium
Titanium is a metallic element that is well known for its resistance to corrosion and its high strength / weight ratio. It is light, hard, with a low density. In its pure state it is quite ductile, glossy, of a metallic white color.
Titanium processing
Titanium can be easily processed, if its physical and chemical characteristics are taken into account in production. These factors are vitally important for the successful handling of titanium processing.
The most important thing is that the different grades of titanium, namely, commercially pure titanium and various titanium alloys, do not have identical processing characteristics, just like all other materials.
In general, the good working life and quality can be guaranteed by the rigidity of the machine, by the good fixing, by the use of a good refrigerant, by the use of cutting tools, by lower speeds, and by more important advances.
Titanium grades
Pure titanium
Grade 1
Grade 1
| Denomination: | Grade 1 |
