Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V) — Machining & Properties
Typical properties, what Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V) is like on a machine tool, what it gets used for, and the tolerance and finishes we hold on it — from a shop that actually machines it, not a datasheet aggregator. Every figure here drives our own calculators.
Machining Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V)
Machinability is rated moderate — machinable without drama, but it rewards proper tooling, feeds and speeds — cycle times sit above the easy-cutting grades. Titanium’s low thermal conductivity concentrates heat at the cutting edge. Correct coolant application, sharp carbide tooling and conservative cutting parameters are essential — Grade 5 and Grade 23 in particular demand rigorous tool change intervals to maintain dimensional consistency.
Our standard achievable tolerance on Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V) is ±0.010mm under normal conditions, with tighter tolerances on critical features agreed at quotation. Standard finishes: As machined, anodise. Full material traceability with MTR and CoC documentation on every order.
Typical applications
Aerospace hydraulic tubing, sports equipment, high-performance motorsport.
