Last month, a Aviation device customer sent us a titanium component that had failed at two other suppliers.
The challenge: ±0.01mm tolerance on thin-wall features, with titanium's notorious work-hardening properties.
Most shops would increase feed rate to push through. But we knew from experience that titanium requires the opposite approach.
**Our solution:**
- 30% slower spindle speed to reduce heat
- Maintained heavy chip load to prevent work hardening
- Interrupted cuts to allow heat evacuation
- Adaptive coolant targeting at cutting zone
Result: 0.3% scrap rate, consistent ±0.008mm accuracy, 5-week delivery.
The customer's comment? "Finally, someone who understands titanium."
