TA2 / GRADE 2 · TC4 / GRADE 5
Titanium CNC Machining for Custom Parts
SYD Precision machines TA2 / Grade 2 and TC4 / Grade 5 titanium components according to customer drawings. Titanium combines low density, strength and corrosion resistance, but the exact grade, governing standard, condition, traceability and inspection requirements must be defined before manufacturing.
Titanium Grades We Machine
| Grade | Review focus | Quotation details |
|---|---|---|
| TA2 / Grade 2 | Commercially pure titanium requirements, corrosion environment, forming history and functional surfaces. | Governing standard, condition, stock form, traceability, finish and inspection scope. |
| TC4 / Grade 5 | Higher-strength titanium-alloy requirements, geometry, tool access, heat and feature stability. | Governing standard, condition or heat treatment, critical features, certificates and acceptance method. |
TA2 and Grade 2, or TC4 and Grade 5, can be used in different standards and supply chains. They are not treated as interchangeable solely because they are commonly compared. The purchase specification controls.
Titanium CNC Milling
Milling is reviewed for brackets, plates, housings, blocks, pockets, slots, bores and multi-face features. Tool reach, deep cavities, thin walls, datum strategy and workholding influence the manufacturing plan.
Explore CNC milling and compare multi-face setup and tool-access options in our 3-axis vs 5-axis CNC machining guide.
Titanium CNC Turning
Turning is reviewed for shafts, sleeves, spacers, pins, threaded parts and other rotational geometry. Include secondary holes, flats, slots and relationships between turned and milled features.
Why Titanium Requires Drawing-Based Review
Titanium has lower thermal conductivity than many common machining metals. Heat management, tool engagement, workholding stability and chip control affect the route. A general material name cannot confirm whether a deep feature, thin section or tight relationship is practical.
Send the complete model and drawing. Mark functional surfaces, datums, threads, edge conditions and every dimension that applies after any finishing operation.
TA2 / Grade 2 Titanium
TA2 / Grade 2 may be selected where commercially pure titanium characteristics match the design. State the required standard, chemical and mechanical requirements, condition and any corrosion or surface acceptance criteria. Do not rely on a photograph or verbal description to identify the grade.
TC4 / Grade 5 Titanium
TC4 / Grade 5 is reviewed for applications requiring titanium-alloy performance. Geometry, supplied condition, critical features and traceability should be defined before quotation. If heat treatment or special documentation is required, include the complete requirement at the start.
Thin Walls and Feature Stability
Thin or long unsupported features may deflect during machining. Datum selection, stock allowance, process sequence and measurement method should reflect the functional design.
Threads and Mating Features
Specify thread standard, size, pitch, class, depth and gauging requirements. Mark mating surfaces, bores and positions that control assembly so they can be reviewed together.
Surface and Finishing Requirements
State required surface condition, roughness, edge breaks, burr limits, cosmetic zones and any coating or finishing process. Identify dimensions that apply after finishing and provide the acceptance standard when appearance or functional surfaces are controlled.
Use our CNC surface finish chart to prepare roughness requirements; any titanium-specific finishing process is confirmed during quotation.
Titanium Inspection and Traceability
Inspection is agreed from the drawing and order requirements. Required material certificates, traceability, dimensional reports or other records must be listed before production. Measurement method and sampling depend on the feature and acceptance criteria.
Use our CNC machining tolerances and inspection guide and quality page.

Titanium CNC Machining Questions
Can the grade be confirmed from a photo?
No. The exact grade, standard and condition must come from the drawing or purchasing specification.
Can TA2 and Grade 2 be substituted automatically?
No. The governing standard and customer approval control any cross-standard comparison or substitution.
Do you provide material certificates?
State the required certificate and traceability during quotation so the scope and availability can be confirmed.
