Production of titanium billet parts

We specialize in the production of Titanium billet parts, offering high-complexity CNC machining for sectors that cannot compromise on weight and strength. Titanium is widely used in the Aerospace, Biomedical, Nautical, and especially in Motorsport (F1 and Moto GP) industries due to its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio, and ability to operate at extreme temperatures.

CAM is the ideal partner for transforming raw titanium blocks and bars into finished components with thousandth-of-a-millimeter tolerances. We perform machining for structural parts, high-performance fasteners, engine components, and exhaust systems. Machining this superalloy requires not only state-of-the-art machinery but also in-depth knowledge of specific cutting parameters for various grades of titanium (such as Ti-6Al-4V). Our service includes technical consultation on project feasibility, simulation of the machining process to minimize waste, and final component certification.

Our Process for Titanium

Titanium machining is notoriously complex due to its low thermal conductivity and high chemical reactivity, which require specific equipment and operating strategies. The process for the production of titanium mechanical parts at CAM is governed by rigor and technology.

1. 5-Axis CNC Milling (High Rigidity)

We use high-rigidity machining centers, particularly our continuous 5-axis CNC milling machines. This is essential for titanium machining, as it allows for constant chip removal and the use of sharp-edged tools, ensuring maximum stability and reducing the risk of vibrations that can compromise the surface finish and tool life. The milling strategy focuses on low cutting speeds and high feeds, with precise heat control to prevent work hardening.

2. Turning and Cooling Strategies

The precision mechanical turning of titanium is also performed with latest-generation CNC machines. Cooling is crucial: titanium retains heat, and excess heat can lead to surface micro-fractures. For this reason, we employ high-pressure, high-flow cooling systems, often supplied directly through the tool spindle.

3. Rigorous Metrological Control

Given the criticality of titanium components, the final dimensional verification is carried out in our temperature-controlled Metrology Room. The CNC three-dimensional measuring machine ensures that project tolerances, often in the order of a few microns, are met and certified before delivery.

Advantages of a Certified Partner

Choosing CAM for the production of Titanium billet parts means partnering with a company that does not improvise, but boasts a solid background and dedicated technologies.

Specific Expertise

We have direct and multi-year experience in supplying titanium components for Formula 1 and Moto GP. This gives us a deep understanding of optimal machining cycles, from tool selection to the tool path. Not many know how to machine titanium at the level of high precision with the same efficiency and quality that we guarantee.

Technical and Production Reliability

Our machine park includes CNC centers with the rigidity and power specifications required to machine high-strength materials like titanium. Our ability to internally manage the entire cycle, from complex CNC milling to metrological verification, ensures compliance with delivery times and complete process traceability.

Anti-Corrosion and Performance Solutions

If your component is used in aggressive environments (such as marine or high-temperature settings), our expertise in titanium machining is the guarantee that the finished part is not only dimensionally perfect but also maintains its mechanical properties and fatigue resistance intact.
