We Serve Industries That Demand High Tolerances
01
Titanium is one of the most demanding materials to machine correctly. It has a low thermal conductivity, which means heat stays in the cutting zone instead of escaping with the chip. That leads to tool wear, work hardening, and parts that drift out of tolerance if the machinist does not know how to manage it.

At ER Machining, our team has direct experience setting up titanium jobs, including the right cutting speeds, feed rates, flood coolant strategies, and toolpath approaches that titanium requires. We do not treat it like aluminum with a different material number in the program.

Question & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What is titanium machining and when do you need it?
Titanium machining refers to the process of using CNC turning, milling, drilling, and multi-axis cutting operations to shape titanium into precise components from bar stock, billet, or plate. You need titanium machining when your application requires parts that combine high strength, low weight, and corrosion resistance in a single material. This is common in aerospace structures, medical implants, oil & gas subsea components, and high-performance industrial equipment. Titanium cannot be substituted with aluminum when you need higher strength, or with stainless steel when weight is critical. If your design calls for Grade 2 or Grade 5 titanium, the machining must be done by a shop experienced with the material. ER Machining provides titanium machining services for both prototype and production quantities in all major grades.
