Machined Titanium Medical Parts

We machine titanium medical parts to your drawing for device OEMs, equipment makers and contract manufacturers: instrument, device and equipment parts, and implant components as an additional capability. The OEM chooses the grade; we buy it as specified.

CNC Machining Titanium Medical Parts

introduction

MedCNCParts, the medical division of DEK, machines titanium components for device OEMs, medical equipment manufacturers and contract manufacturers. Titanium is chosen for strength at low weight and corrosion resistance.

We buy the grade your drawing specifies, verify its mill certificate (copies on request), and keep heat and lot traceability to the shipped part, under an ISO 13485 quality system.

The OEM chooses the grade for its device. We hold the drawing on every lot, from the first article to repeat orders, and confirm the documentation each order needs with the quote.

Parts

Titanium medical parts we machine

From lightweight instrument components to device housings and implant components, every part is machined to the drawing and the grade it specifies.

Type

Medical titanium grades and standards

CP titanium, Grades 1 to 4

CP titanium, Grades 1 to 4 Featured Image

Commercially pure titanium, specified to ASTM F67 and ISO 5832-2.

Typical parts: thin-wall housings, instrument parts, plates and dental components, machined to the grade and standard named on the drawing.

Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 5

Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 5 Featured Image

Specified as ASTM B348 bar for non-implant parts, and to ASTM F1472 when the drawing calls for implant use.

Typical parts: instrument and equipment parts, and high-strength device parts.

Ti-6Al-4V ELI, Grade 23

Ti-6Al-4V ELI, Grade 23 Featured Image

Specified to ASTM F136 and ISO 5832-3. ELI (extra low interstitial) means lower oxygen and iron limits than standard Grade 5.

Typical parts: implant components such as screws, plates, nails, cages and abutments. When the drawing calls for an implant grade, we buy it to that specification.

Knowledge

Machining and finishing titanium

  • Machining titanium parts

    • Heat at the cut: sharp tools, controlled speeds and high-pressure coolant.
    • Galling: tool coatings, coolant and thread design chosen to limit it.
    • Thin walls: fixturing and finishing passes planned around springback.
    • Tool wear: tool life managed by count on critical features.
    • Burrs: deburring is a defined step, checked on the first article.
    • Secondary steps: wire EDM, sinker EDM, cylindrical grinding.

  • Finishing titanium

    • Color anodizing: size and type identification, not a performance claim.
    • Type II anodizing per AMS 2488: gray layer against galling and wear.
    • Passivation: per ASTM F86 or ASTM A967, as specified.
    • Electropolishing and laser marking: part, lot and UDI data, per the callout.
    • Background: read our guide to titanium anodizing.

  • When another material fits

    Titanium costs more than stainless steel and machines more slowly. Threaded pairs can gall, and its lower stiffness can matter on long, slender instrument parts.

    316L or 17-4PH stainless often suits instrument and equipment parts better, and PEEK suits radiolucent or polymer parts; compare titanium vs PEEK and stainless steel and titanium in implants. The choice for a device stays with the OEM.

  • Traceability and certificates

    Every lot keeps its heat number traced from bar to finished part.

    On request, the lot ships with the mill test report to the ASTM or ISO standard on the drawing and a Certificate of Conformance. For what makes a grade medical, read what makes titanium medical grade.

MedCNCParts manufactures components to customer specifications; it does not design or market medical devices.

What is titanium used for medically?

Seen from the parts side: lightweight instrument components, device and equipment parts, and implant components such as plates, screws and dental abutments machined to OEM drawings. The OEM selects the grade for the device.

How expensive is medical titanium?

Medical grades such as Ti-6Al-4V ELI cost more than commercial grades because of tighter chemistry limits and certification. The cost of a part depends mostly on stock size, machining time and finishing.

What are the downsides of titanium for machined parts?

It is harder to machine (heat at the cut, tool wear), prone to galling in threads and less stiff than steel. These are managed in the process and in the design.

What is the difference between Grade 5 and Grade 23?

Grade 23 is the ELI version of Ti-6Al-4V, with lower oxygen and iron limits, specified in ASTM F136 for implants.

Do you supply mill certificates?

Yes, on request: material certificates with heat traceability and a CoC for each lot.
