Titanium Slab Scalping
Turning One of the Industry's Most Difficult Materials into Precision-Finished Plates
Titanium combines exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties. However, these advantages also make it one of the most challenging materials to machine.
During slab surface milling, titanium generates high cutting forces, concentrates heat around the cutting edge, rapidly wears tooling, and tends to adhere to cutting surfaces. Maintaining surface quality, thickness accuracy, flatness, and long-term machine stability requires far more than simply increasing machine power.
Maxton developed a dedicated titanium slab milling solution to overcome these challenges and achieve reliable, high-precision processing of large titanium slabs.
Engineering Challenges
Processing titanium slabs requires overcoming multiple technical difficulties simultaneously, including machining stability, surface quality control, dimensional consistency, production efficiency, and long-term equipment reliability.
Through years of engineering development and practical project experience, Maxton successfully delivered a complete solution that satisfies the stringent requirements of the titanium industry.
