Industrial Titanium Machining: Large-Scale Corrosion-Critical Finishing

ForceBeyond provides high-capacity Industrial Titanium Machining for large-scale, corrosion-resistant assemblies. Specialized in finishing heavy-walled Sand Castings and industrial forgings, our co-owned CNC centers handle components up to 80 inches (2,000mm) in diameter. Our Tier-1.5 integrated model ensures that critical seal surfaces and flange faces on pump housings, valve bodies, and heat exchangers meet the rigorous ASTM B367 and ASME standards required for aggressive chemical and marine environments.

Solving the Scale Challenge: Large-Envelope CNC Precision

Industrial titanium components present a unique challenge: they are massive, yet require high-precision sealing surfaces. ForceBeyond overcomes this through:

  • High-Torque Horizontal Boring: Ideal for large pump and valve internal cavities where deep-hole accuracy is mandatory.
  • Vertical Turning Lathes (VTL): Our large-swing VTLs accommodate titanium flanges and rings up to 80 inches, ensuring perfect circularity for high-pressure seals.
  • Rigidity-First Fixturing: We utilize custom-engineered work-holding to eliminate vibration during heavy metal removal on large, asymmetric industrial castings.

Technical Authority: Machining for Harsh Environments

In industrial applications, the quality of the machined surface directly impacts the longevity of the component in corrosive media.

Flange & Seal Surface Integrity

To prevent crevice corrosion in chemical processing, seal surfaces must be free of “tearing” or smeared metal. We utilize specialized tooling geometries that ensure a clean, work-hardened-free surface, meeting 63 RMS or better on critical mating faces.

Galling Prevention in Threaded Connections

Industrial titanium assemblies often fail at the threads due to “galling.” Our machining protocol for Grade 2 and Grade 7 (Palladium) titanium includes specific thread-milling strategies that ensure smooth, reliable assembly and disassembly in the field.

Tier-1.5 Integration: The “Cast-to-Finish” Advantage

Large industrial projects often suffer from “Vendor Finger-Pointing” when a casting fails during final machining. ForceBeyond eliminates this risk by owning the entire process.

Industrial Standards & Quality Verification

Our Tier-1.5 oversight ensures that every industrial component is ready for the world’s most aggressive service environments.

  • Hydrostatic Pressure Testing: Post-machining verification of seal and wall integrity.
  • CMM Inspection: Verification of large-scale geometric tolerances and flange-hole alignments.
  • Material Certification: 100% heat-lot traceability to ASTM B367, B381, or B348 standards.

FAQ: Industrial Titanium Machining

Q: What is the largest titanium component you can machine?
A: Our current capacity allows for components up to 80 inches (2,000mm) in diameter and up to 10 tons in weight, specifically geared toward large Sand Castings and industrial rings.

Q: Can you machine Grade 7 (Palladium) titanium?
A: Yes. We have extensive experience machining Palladium-stabilized Grade 7 and Grade 11 titanium for extreme acidic environments, utilizing specialized speeds and feeds to manage the material’s specific ductility.

Q: Do you offer repair or refurbishing for large industrial parts?
A: While we primarily focus on new Tier-1.5 production (Forge-to-Finish), we provide technical evaluation and “Clean-up Machining” for legacy titanium components in certain high-value industrial sectors.
