Advantages

Specify the alloy

Use the grade and condition defined by the customer drawing.

Define interfaces

Mark datums, mating faces and critical features for review.

State inspection evidence

List measurements, reports or traceability required for acceptance.

Keep application claims qualified

Provide governing requirements for regulated uses; do not assume machining grants approval.

Start with the exact titanium alloy

Titanium CNC machining requirements depend on the specified alloy and part geometry. Identify the grade, material condition and any customer-approved substitution rules. Do not use 'titanium' as a complete material specification when the drawing calls for a particular grade or documentation.

Show interfaces and critical features

Provide the current CAD model and drawing revision. Mark datums, mating surfaces, holes, threads and dimensions that control fit. State the required surface finish, deburring, coating and inspection evidence. If the component is for aerospace, medical or another regulated application, provide the governing customer requirements and do not assume machining alone grants qualification.

Make the RFQ comparable

Include quantity, prototype or production intent, packaging and destination. List secondary operations and quote exclusions. Confirm the acceptance method for critical features and request review of any unusual geometry before selecting the process route.

For material-specific information, see titanium material. For general part production, see CNC machining services.

Titanium RFQ checklist

  • Exact alloy and material condition
  • Drawing and model revision
  • Critical interfaces, datums and tolerances
  • Finish, inspection and documentation needs
  • Quantity, secondary operations and packaging

Confirm material identity, feasibility and acceptance against the actual drawing before release.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information is needed for titanium CNC machining?

+

Provide the exact alloy, drawing revision, quantity, critical features, finish and inspection requirements.

Can different titanium grades be substituted?

+

Only with customer approval after reviewing the specified grade and application requirements.

Does machining titanium certify a part for aerospace or medical use?

+

No. Application approval depends on the customer qualification process and required evidence.

What should I mark on the drawing?

+

Identify datums, mating interfaces, critical dimensions, threads, finish and any special inspection needs.

Where can I learn about titanium material options?

+

Use the titanium material page as a starting point, then confirm the exact grade and condition for the project.
