Ti-TEK offers a titanium cutting service to ensure that your titanium bars are always the perfect length. We use low cutting speeds to do this, as this reduces the amount of heat produced. If the metal becomes too hot when cut, tool life can be reduced by up to 80%.

It is possible to bandsaw or nibble titanium with the right equipment, but – depending on how the metal has been treated – it can also be shaped and cut using heat. This may be from oxyacetylene, plasma, or lasers. Water jets are also often used to great effect.

It is possible for titanium to be turned, bored, milled, drilled, tapped, broached, planned, toothed, ground, and lapped depending on its type of alloy and the final form that has been requested.

Titanium is a famously strong and resilient metal with impressive flexibility and a range of other high performance properties – for example, it is lightweight, hypoallergenic, and corrosion resistant, making it biocompatible and therefore perfect for use in medical implants.

After the titanium is mined, it goes through a series of treatments until it becomes pure metal, or “sponge”. This can then be melted with various other metals to create any desired alloy. This usually comes as an ingot, which is then formed into bars.

We’ll be more than happy to take a look at your request and discuss your requirements with you to ensure that we are able to do the best possible job.

In this article, the team members at Ti-TEK, experts in the manufacture of titanium products and other metal components, explain how we do it.

You may decide to request our titanium cutting services in order to achieve the most accurate finish possible for your materials.

However, the durability of this material has led to the myth that it is exceptionally difficult to cut and shape. This is absolutely not the case as long as you have the know-how and the right equipment for the job.

If this is not the desired final form, the titanium may then go on to be shaped into sheets, tubes, and a range of other shapes.

If you would like our assistance, guidance, or specialist services in this area, all you need to do is to fill in our straightforward enquiry form.

A particularly effective way of cutting titanium is the use of a high-powered water jet. The water cools the metal and prevents warping and a range of other negative effects.
