Titanium: an excellent material for precision machining

Titanium does not forgive approximation. Low thermal conductivity, rapid tool wear… machining it is a real challenge. At ARCOM, we don't hide behind the difficulty of the material. We master these complex cutting parameters to deliver finished, inspected and guaranteed parts and sub-assemblies for your high-stress environments.

Technical properties of titanium

Titanium stands out for:

  1. A high strength-to-weight ratio
  2. Excellent resistance to corrosion
  3. Strong mechanical strength at high temperatures
  4. Proven biocompatibility

These characteristics make it a strategic material for regulated industrial environments and high mechanical stress applications.

Our industrial expertise in titanium

Our machine fleet and industrial organisation allow us to handle technical titanium parts from prototype to series production.

Titanium has specific machining constraints: low thermal conductivity, localised heating and rapid tool wear.

ARCOM Industrie adapts its bar turning and machining strategies through precise setting of cutting speeds, controlled thermal management, suitable tool selection and rigorous control of surface finishes and tolerances.

Use of titanium in industry

Our precision machining capabilities for titanium serve the following industries in particular:

Aerospace

Structures and engine components for aircraft and spacecraft.

Medical

Implants, surgical instruments and prostheses.

Naval

Components for ships and underwater equipment.

Sport

Light, strong equipment such as bicycle frames and golf clubs.

Chemical Industry

 Corrosion-resistant equipment for aggressive chemical environments.

Quality and inspection of titanium parts

Manufacturing titanium parts requires rigorous inspection at every stage of the industrial process. ARCOM Industrie relies on comprehensive in-house metrology equipment and coordinate measuring resources to ensure the compliance of the parts produced.

Material and process traceability is built into our quality organisation, certified to ISO 9001, ISO 13485, ISO 14001 and EN 9100.
