Common Grades Stock Forms Machining Finish Options Production Fit Grade 2, Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) Plate, bar, billet, tube Controlled cutting parameters, rigid workholding, sharp tooling As-machined, bead blasting, polishing, passivation-compatible cleaning Prototype to low- and medium-volume precision parts - Properties
- Suitable For
- Aerospace brackets and housings
- Medical instrument components
- Robotic joints and lightweight structures
- Marine and chemical-exposure parts
- Performance fasteners and shafts
- Consider Alternatives When
- Ultra-low-cost commodity parts
- Designs with unnecessary deep pockets or excessive tool reach
- Projects where aluminum can meet the same load and environment at lower cost

Machining & Finish
RapidMfgPro reviews geometry, tolerance, material behavior, finish, quantity, and inspection requirements before matching the project with suitable manufacturing resources.
CNC Turning
Suitable for shafts, sleeves, pins, threaded parts, and rotational medical or aerospace components.

Designing Parts in Titanium
Use the following points as an early DFM checklist. Final recommendations depend on part geometry, stock form, quantity, finish, and functional requirements.
Request a DFM ReviewReduce tool reach
Keep deep cavities and small internal corners only where they are functionally necessary.
Plan heat control
Allow practical cutting access and avoid very thin unsupported walls.
Define critical surfaces
Identify sealing, bearing, threaded, and cosmetic surfaces on the drawing.
Specify inspection needs
Call out critical dimensions, material documentation, and traceability before production.
