Titanium is often thought of as a high-grade metal, but in fact it is used in many of the things around us.
The reason for this is that titanium is superior to aluminum and stainless steel. In this article, I would like to explain the characteristics of titanium based on examples.

About the characteristics of titanium processing
Material Type
What is titanium processing? The term “titanium processing” is a very broad one. There are various types of titanium, from pure titanium to titanium alloys. Pure titanium is 99.9% immiscible titanium. It is very soft and easy to process. Alloy titanium, on the other hand, is made by mixing various elements into titanium to add characteristics. Therefore, some titanium alloys are very hard and difficult to work with.
Processing method
Now, let’s take a look at the category of titanium processing by processing method. First, the most commonly used method for parts is machining from block-shaped or cylindrical round titanium bars. In this method, a solid block of titanium is machined with a lathe or machining center using tools such as drills and end mills and cutting oil. The products produced by this type of processing are aerospace parts and machine parts.
On the other hand, when titanium is processed in the form of a plate, it can be used for accessories and ornaments such as earrings, and in the field of construction, for roofs, walls, and ceilings. When bent into a cylindrical shape, it can also be used to make motorcycle mufflers.
The following is a detailed description of each process.
(1)Cutting: Shearing Turret punch press Laser cutting Plasma cutting Saw blade Pressing
(2) Bending process: Bender process Roll bender process
(3) Welding process: Tig welding YAG welding Fiber laser welding
In this way, the same processing methods as for stainless steel can be used.
In other words, if you can process stainless steel, you can process titanium.
However, the processing speed may be adjusted to about 50% of the speed and pressure of stainless steel.

Of course, it has high strength, high corrosion resistance, light weight, and an overwhelming sense of high-class design.
Titanium can be processed in a variety of ways, and we will introduce some of the methods used for surface design and function.
(1) Design improvement by design polishing (design finishing)
Various design finishes, such as hairline, vibration, and shot blasting, are available.
(2) Design processing (pursuit of design and functionality through ion plating processing)
Ion plating is a technology for depositing titanium particles ionized in a vacuum onto pure titanium at high speed and high temperature.
This technology results in titanium with a majestic golden color.
The special technology and patent backing make it possible to achieve both functionality and design.
Finally.
Titanium processing covers a very wide range of fields.
Please select the processing method that best suits the product you want to achieve.
TOYO STAINLESS STEEL & POLISHING KOGYO CO., LTD. creates new values by designing titanium.
We look forward to working with you.
