Titanium vs. Aluminum: Material Considerations for Precision CNC Machining
Precision CNC Machining: Mechanical Properties Comparison Understanding the mechanical properties of titanium and aluminum is foundational for selecting the right material in precision CNC machining. Titanium alloys (notably Ti-6Al-4V) offer exceptional strength-to-weight ratios, with tensile strengths ranging from 800-1100 MPa—nearly twice that of aluminum alloys like 6061-T6 (310 MPa). This makes titanium ideal for applications requiring high strength at relativelyMore
