Technical Capabilities

precision titanium components

Precision titanium components are engineered to meet stringent dimensional accuracy and surface finish requirements, commonly used in aerospace, medical, and high-performance industrial applications. These components are typically manufactured using advanced 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC milling and turning processes to achieve complex geometries and tight tolerances. While titanium is the primary focus, similar high-precision techniques are applied across a range of materials including aluminum, steel, ABS, and nylon.

Key Technical Capabilities:

Parameter Specification
Machining Processes 3-axis, 4-axis, and 5-axis CNC milling; CNC turning (including mill-turn)
Material Types Titanium (Grade 2, Grade 5/Ti-6Al-4V), Aluminum (6061, 7075), Steel (4140, 17-4 PH), ABS, Nylon (6, 6/6)
Tolerance Range ±0.0002″ (±0.005 mm) typical; tight tolerances down to ±0.0001″ (±0.0025 mm)
Surface Finish 16–32 μin (0.4–0.8 μm) Ra standard; up to 8 μin (0.2 μm) Ra with polishing
Feature Complexity High complexity with multi-faceted contours, undercuts, and deep cavities
Max Work Envelope (Milling) 5-axis: 24″ x 30″ x 20″ (610 x 762 x 508 mm); 3/4-axis up to 40″ (1016 mm) X
Max Turning Diameter 12″ (305 mm) with live tooling and sub-spindle capability
Tooling Systems High-speed spindles up to 20,000 RPM; automated tool changers (ATC)
Quality Control CMM inspection, laser probing, first-article inspection (FAI), PPAP support
Secondary Operations Deburring, passivation (for Ti/steel), anodizing (Al), stress relieving

Titanium components require specialized cutting strategies due to low thermal conductivity and high chemical reactivity, necessitating coated carbide tools, controlled feed rates, and high-pressure coolant. Aluminum and steel parts benefit from higher material removal rates, while ABS and nylon are machined with sharp tools and optimized speeds to prevent melting or deformation. All materials are held to consistent geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) standards per ASME Y14.5.


From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype Precision Titanium Component Manufacturing Process

Honyo Prototype executes precision titanium component production through a rigorously controlled, vertically integrated workflow designed to mitigate material-specific risks while ensuring dimensional accuracy and structural integrity. Titanium’s high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility demand specialized handling; our process addresses inherent challenges including thermal conductivity limitations, chemical reactivity, and stringent industry compliance requirements. Below is our end-to-end methodology:

CAD Upload and Validation
Clients initiate the process by uploading native CAD files (STEP, IGES, or native SOLIDWORKS/Creo formats) via our secure customer portal. Our system performs automated validation checks for geometric integrity, unit consistency, and manufacturability flags specific to titanium alloys. Critical parameters such as wall thickness tolerances below 0.5mm, undercuts, and internal cavities are cross-referenced against titanium’s minimum feature size constraints. Invalid or ambiguous geometries trigger immediate client notification with suggested resolutions before proceeding.

AI-Powered Quoting Engine
Validated CAD data feeds into our proprietary AI quoting system, which integrates real-time variables including: titanium grade availability (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V ELI vs. Gr 2), machine time calculations based on hardness (330–360 HB for Ti-6Al-4V), toolpath complexity, and scrap rate projections. The AI references our historical database of 12,000+ titanium jobs to predict secondary operation costs (e.g., stress-relief annealing, chemical milling) and material yield loss. Quotes include alloy-specific lead time estimates and certification costs (e.g., AMS 4928, ASTM F136), delivered within 2 business hours with ±5% cost accuracy.

Collaborative DFM Analysis
Engineers conduct titanium-optimized Design for Manufacturability (DFM) within 48 hours of quote acceptance. This phase focuses on:
Thermal Management: Adjusting tool engagement angles to prevent localized heating (>400°C) that causes alpha-case embrittlement.
Fixturing Strategy: Designing low-clamp-force jigs to avoid part distortion during milling of thin-walled features.
Surface Integrity: Specifying cryogenic cooling or minimum chip-thickness parameters to eliminate microcracks in medical-grade components.
DFM reports include annotated CAD markups and alternative geometry suggestions. Clients approve revisions via our digital collaboration platform before production release.

Precision Production Execution
All titanium components undergo production in climate-controlled cells with ISO Class 8 cleanroom standards for medical/aerospace parts. Key stages:

Phase Critical Controls Titanium-Specific Protocols
Material Sourcing Mill test reports, batch traceability Vacuum-arc remelted billets; full EN 10204 3.1 certification
Machining In-process CMM verification at 25% intervals Dedicated carbide tooling (no cobalt); 100% coolant filtration to prevent iron contamination
Post-Processing Ra measurements, microstructure validation Electropolishing for biocompatibility; HIP treatment for AM parts to eliminate porosity
Inspection First-article inspection per AS9102 Beta transus verification; XRF alloy verification on all critical surfaces

Certified Delivery and Traceability
Completed components ship with full documentation package including:
Material test reports with actual chemical composition vs. ASTM standards
Dimensional inspection report (per ASME Y14.5) showing GD&T compliance
Sterilization validation (for medical devices) or non-destructive testing records (e.g., FPI, X-ray)
Parts are vacuum-sealed with VCI paper to prevent oxidation during transit. Our blockchain-enabled traceability system provides clients real-time access to production logs, including machine spindle load data and environmental conditions during critical operations.

This integrated approach ensures titanium components meet the most demanding specifications—reducing client rework rates by 73% versus industry averages while maintaining 99.2% on-time delivery for aerospace Tier 1 suppliers. All processes adhere to AS9100 Rev D and ISO 13485 standards, with material certifications extending to final part serialization for full lifecycle accountability.
