Machining Titanium
Latva Machine is a premium source for quality precision Titanium CNC machining components made from bar, plate and also investment castings.
As an ISO 9001:2008 certified company with a considerable amount of experience machining for the military, aerospace, medical and firearms industries, we know well the importance of precision and accuracy. Titanium is a metal that is used often in these industries because of the properties noted below.
With our expertise in these component industries that require the highest level of precision, customers who demand perfection can depend on us to consistently deliver quality machined components. This commitment is pertinent when machining Titanium because it can be such a difficult metal to work with.
Titanium Manufacturing Properties & Uses
About 95% of titanium production is consumed in the form of titanium dioxide (TiO2), an intensely white permanent pigment with good covering power in paints, paper, toothpaste, and plastics. Paints made with titanium dioxide are excellent reflectors of infrared radiation and are therefore used extensively by astronomers and in exterior paints. It is also used in cement, in gemstones, as an optical pacifier in paper (Smook 2002), and a strengthening agent in graphite composite fishing rods and golf clubs. Recently, it has been put to use in air purifiers (as a filter coating), or in film used to coat windows on buildings which, when exposed to UV light (either solar or man-made) and moisture in the air, produces reactive redox species like hydroxyl radicals that can purify the air or keep window surfaces clean.
Because of its high tensile strength (even at high temperatures), light weight, extraordinary corrosion-resistance, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures, titanium alloys are used in aircraft, armour plating, naval ships, spacecraft, and missiles. It is used in steel alloys to reduce grain size and as a deoxidizer, and in stainless steel to reduce carbon content. Titanium is often alloyed with aluminium (to refine grain size), vanadium, copper (to harden), iron, manganese, molybdenum, and with other metals.
Titanium Welding, Titanium Cutting, Titanium Milling
Welded titanium pipe is used in the chemical industry for its corrosion-resistance and is seeing growing use in petroleum drilling, especially offshore, for its strength, light weight, and corrosion-resistance.
