Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) is the most widely used titanium alloy for CNC machining thanks to its high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and good weldability. Its ability to perform in both high-temperature and subzero environments makes it a strong alternative to steel when lightweight durability is required.
Common CNC-machined applications include aerospace fasteners, turbine blades, engine components, sports equipment, and marine hardware.
Titanium Grade 2 is also well-suited for CNC machining, especially when a part requires excellent ductility, outstanding corrosion resistance, or cost-effective manufacturability. While not as strong as Grade 5, its lightweight and highly formable nature makes it ideal for components with complex geometries or deep form features.
