POW! Horizontal Turning a Titanium Tube

Written by Adam Persson | May 26, 2025 6:00:00 PM

 

This beauty is our Part of the Week. Let's take a look!

 

WHAT'S THIS?

This short video shows one of our Horizontal Milling machines working the OD of a large diameter Titanium Tube.

 

A SIX Exclamation Point Video!!!!!!

THAT'S COOL!

Turning titanium produces considerable heat - just look at that glow!

Excess heat can create distortions when the piece cools, potentially putting it out of tolerance.

Here we're using a coolant stream to manage the temperature of the workpiece to ensure great results for our customer.

(And you can see our machinist was excited because he felt it deserved not one, not two, but SIX exclamation points!)

ABOUT POW!

Each week we will feature something we've been working on. We hope you'll find these posts informative.
