Understanding Titanium in CNC Machining
Titanium has become the material of choice for high-performance applications across multiple industries due to its exceptional properties. However, these same properties present unique challenges in the machining process that require specialized expertise and equipment.
Key Properties of Titanium
- Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio – 40% lighter than steel with comparable strength
- Outstanding corrosion resistance – Naturally forms a protective oxide layer
- Biocompatibility – Non-toxic and not rejected by the human body
- Low thermal conductivity – Retains heat at the cutting zone
- High temperature resistance – Maintains strength at elevated temperatures
- Low modulus of elasticity – More flexible than steel

Titanium CNC Machining Surface Finishing Options
Surface finishing plays a crucial role in both the aesthetics and functionality of titanium components.
Fecision offers a comprehensive range of surface finishing options to meet your specific requirements.
Bead Blasting
Creates a uniform matte finish by propelling fine glass beads at high pressure against the titanium surface. Ideal for removing machining marks and creating a consistent appearance.
Anodizing
Electrochemical process that creates a controlled oxide layer, offering both decorative coloring options and enhanced surface hardness. Available in Type II (thin film) and Type III (thicker, more durable).
Electropolishing
Produces a mirror-like finish by removing a microscopic layer of material through an electrochemical process. Reduces surface roughness and improves corrosion resistance.
Passivation
Chemical process that removes free iron and other contaminants from the surface while enhancing the natural oxide layer. Improves corrosion resistance without dimensional changes.
Mechanical Polishing
Achieves smooth surfaces through progressive abrasive processes. Can range from satin finishes to high mirror polish depending on the application requirements.
Laser Marking
Creates permanent, high-contrast markings without affecting the material properties. Ideal for part identification, serialization, and branding on medical and aerospace components.
