What distinguishes laser cutting of titanium at HAILTEC?

Quality of titanium foil and titanium sheet blanks

The production of precise laser cuts from titanium is our specialty. For this purpose, we use QCW pulsed fiber lasers and Nd:YAG laser systems on precision equipment from DMG MORI and Trumpf. These laser sources introduce hardly any energy into the material or component. Little heat means little distortion and enables the finest cuts. With ultra-fine laser cutting systems and state-of-the-art beam sources, we produce the finest cuts with a gap width of 0.03 mm or less. Tolerances depend on the sheet thickness as well as the cutting contour and are in the range of +/- 0.01 mm.

Which titanium alloys are suitable for precision laser cutting?

There are different types of titanium sheet, which are made of different alloys and have different strengths and resistances. In this overview you will find the most commonly processed titanium alloys that HAILTEC uses for titanium laser cutting. We always have many of them in stock, of course with material test certificate. We can also procure special alloys on request or you simply provide us with the material.

Pure titanium of grades 1 - grade 5. These alloys are extremely corrosion-resistant and have very good cold-forming properties. In addition, the low thermal expansion leads to lower heat-related stresses compared with other metallic materials. Due to its excellent biocompatibility, this material is also widely used in the medical field. Typical applications are in the chemical and machinery industries, as well as for aircraft parts due to the material's strong formability.

General information about titanium

Titanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It is a transition metal and forms refractory alloys with other metal elements. The properties of titanium are similar to those of iron and vanadium, but it is not as reactive as these. Titanium is a common element and is the second most abundant metal nucleus constituent in the earth. Most titanium ores also contain trace amounts of iron, magnesium, and calcium. Titanium is an important element for industry, especially in aerospace engineering, the chemical industry, and medical technology.

William Gregor discovered titanium in England in 1791. Heinrich Klaproth, the German chemist, also discovered it in rutile ore in 1795. Klaproth named the element after the Greek deity of the Titans.
Titanium is extracted from ilmenite or rutile with the aid of a complex manufacturing process. In 2008, titanium cost about 12,000 euros per ton.

Titanium alloys are metal compounds consisting mainly of titanium and a number of other additives. These alloys are often categorized from Grade 1 to 35 according to the American ASTM standard, with the grade classification based on the different composition of the alloy. For example, grades 1 to 4 refer to a pure titanium alloy, while higher grades contain a range of titanium dioxide and other elements.

Can titanium be laser cut?

Titanium is not only particularly biocompatible and corrosion-resistant, but also has a very good strength-to-density ratio. Titanium can be processed very precisely and extremely finely with pulsed fiber lasers with a wavelength of 1030nm. The cutting gas used is usually the reaction-inhibiting gas argon, in order to achieve a perfect cut with low heat input. HAILTEC can laser cut titanium from 0.05mm - 5mm with different laser sources.

Laser cutting of titanium is considered one of the most complex and technically demanding techniques in materials processing. Due to its chemical and physical properties, titanium is often used for filigree components in heavy-duty, high-stress applications. Because laser beam is highly concentrated and targeted, it can produce very fine shapes and structures that traditional cutting cannot. It is possible to create the finest details or complex structures at high speeds that ensure precise processing. In addition, unwanted sparks and deformations can be avoided by eliminating mechanical processes. This process allows for an extremely precise and smooth surface, which in turn enables accurate assembly and use in heavy-duty applications. Laser cutting of titanium is one of the most versatile techniques in the field of materials processing, which makes it possible to achieve very precise shaping while maintaining the mechanical properties of the material.

In which industries is titanium used?

Titanium is a material that is widely used in the aerospace, automotive and chemical industries due to its high strength, light weight and safety resistance. Thanks to the characteristic properties of titanium such as high strength and corrosion resistance, it is a very useful material for various applications. Also, its ability to withstand external temperatures and resist strong mechanical impacts make it a very valuable material. Titanium machining is performed using the most advanced CNC technology. This technology makes it possible to machine components with high precision and, using standardized machining parameters, to produce customized solutions to meet specific customer requirements.

Is laser cutting of titanium suitable for medical technology?

Titanium is a very valuable material used in medical technology for various applications. It is a lightweight, biocompatible and strong material that has a high resistance to biological aggressiveness due to its immunity to corrosive environments and good physiological properties. In addition, it is hypoallergenic and therefore widely used and appreciated in medical technology. Thanks to its low density and thermal conductivity, titanium can be used for many different medical instruments and appliances, as well as implants. It also features high dimensional stability, corrosion resistance and resistance to chemical substances. Thus, titanium can help provide greater safety to surgical procedures while increasing the durability of medical devices. It is therefore not surprising that many applications in medical technology involve the use of titanium.
