FAQ

ASTM B265 is the standard specification for titanium and titanium alloy strip, sheet, and plate. It covers all commercially pure grades (1–4) and common alloys including Ti-6Al-4V. Most of our titanium sheet and plate products are supplied to this specification with full mill certification.

ASTM B348 is the standard specification for titanium bars and billets used in general industrial applications. AMS 4928 is an aerospace material specification for Ti-6Al-4V bars, forgings, and rings with stricter requirements on chemistry, mechanical testing, and traceability. We supply to both specifications depending on your industry requirements.

All our products ship with Mill Test Certificates (EN 10204 3.1) documenting chemical composition, mechanical properties, and heat treatment records. We can also provide third-party inspection reports, material certificates per ASTM/AMS/ASME standards, and compliance documentation for specific industry requirements.

A Mill Test Certificate (also called Mill Cert or MTC) is a quality document issued by the producing mill that certifies the chemical analysis and mechanical test results of a specific heat or lot. Our MTCs conform to EN 10204 Type 3.1, meaning the results are verified by the manufacturer's quality department and are traceable to the original ingot.

Yes, we can arrange third-party inspection through internationally recognized agencies such as SGS, Bureau Veritas, or TUV. This can include dimensional verification, chemical re-analysis, mechanical re-testing, and visual inspection. Third-party inspection is available upon request and the cost is typically borne by the buyer.

Titanium pricing varies significantly depending on the grade, product form, dimensions, quantity, and current raw material market conditions. CP Grade 2 is generally the most economical, while aerospace-grade alloys command a premium. Request a quote with your specific requirements for accurate pricing.

Our minimum order quantity varies by product form. For standard titanium bars and plates, we can accommodate orders as low as 50 kg. For custom specifications, the MOQ may be higher depending on the mill's production schedule. We are flexible and work with customers to find solutions for both small prototype orders and large-volume procurement.

We typically respond to quote requests within 24 hours during business days. For standard products in stock, we can often provide pricing within a few hours. Complex custom orders or specifications requiring mill consultation may take 2–3 business days. Submit your inquiry and we will respond as quickly as possible.

Yes, custom manufacturing is one of our core strengths. We can produce titanium products to your exact dimensions, tolerances, and specifications. This includes custom sheet/plate cutting, bar turning, tube drawing, and forging to drawing. Share your drawings or specifications with us for a tailored quotation.

We accept T/T (telegraphic transfer) as our standard payment method. For new customers, we typically require 30% deposit with the balance paid before shipment. Established customers may qualify for more flexible terms. We also accept L/C (Letter of Credit) for larger orders.

Titanium can be machined successfully with proper tooling and techniques, but it does require more care than steel or aluminum. Key factors include using sharp carbide tools, maintaining low cutting speeds with high feed rates, ensuring adequate coolant flow, and avoiding dwell time. Our machining partners have extensive experience processing titanium and can handle complex geometries.

Yes, titanium is readily weldable using TIG (GTAW) and electron beam welding processes. The critical requirement is complete shielding from atmospheric contamination — the weld zone, heat-affected zone, and back side must be protected with inert gas (argon or helium) until cooled below approximately 500°F (260°C). We can supply titanium welding wire and offer technical guidance on welding procedures.

We offer a range of surface finishes including mill finish (as-rolled or as-forged), pickled and annealed, ground, polished, and blasted. For bars, we provide hot-rolled, cold-drawn, centerless ground, and polished finishes. Specific surface roughness requirements (Ra values) can be met upon request.

Yes, we provide cut-to-length services for titanium bars, plates, and sheets. Cutting methods include precision sawing, waterjet cutting, and plasma cutting depending on the material thickness and required tolerance. This helps reduce your material waste and machining time.

Yes, we offer CNC machining services for titanium components through our network of experienced machining partners. Capabilities include CNC milling, turning, drilling, and multi-axis machining. We can work from your CAD drawings or samples to produce finished or semi-finished parts to your specifications.

Yes, we ship to customers worldwide. Our primary export markets include North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Australia. We work with established freight forwarders experienced in handling titanium products and can arrange delivery by sea, air, or express courier depending on urgency and volume.

Titanium products are carefully packaged to prevent surface damage and contamination during transit. Standard packaging includes plastic film wrapping, cardboard protection, and wooden crates or pallets for sea freight. For precision-machined parts, we use custom foam inserts and sealed packaging. All packaging meets international shipping and fumigation requirements.

For standard products in stock, we can ship within 3–7 business days. Custom production orders typically require 15–30 days depending on the specification and quantity. International shipping adds 15–35 days by sea or 5–7 days by air. We provide order tracking and keep you updated throughout the process.

Yes, we handle all necessary export documentation including commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, and fumigation certificate. We can also provide documentation required for customs clearance in your country. Our logistics team has extensive experience with international titanium trade compliance.

We are based in Baoji, Shaanxi Province, China — widely known as "China's Titanium Valley." Baoji is the center of China's titanium industry, home to the country's largest titanium sponge and mill product producers. Our location gives us direct access to the supply chain, ensuring competitive pricing and fast turnaround. Learn more on our About page.

We are a specialized titanium supply company with deep integration into Baoji's titanium manufacturing ecosystem. We work directly with partner mills and processing facilities, managing quality control, logistics, and customer service. This model allows us to offer mill-direct pricing with the added value of dedicated export service and technical support.

Baoji Titanium Valley (also called China Titanium Valley) is the largest titanium industrial cluster in the world, located in Baoji, Shaanxi Province. It accounts for over 60% of China's titanium production capacity and is home to hundreds of titanium smelting, processing, and fabrication companies. Being based here gives us unmatched access to materials, processing capabilities, and industry expertise.

We maintain long-term partnerships with over 10 qualified titanium mills and processing facilities in the Baoji region. Each partner is selected based on their specialization — some excel in sheet and plate, others in bars, tubes, or forgings. This network allows us to match your specific requirements with the most capable producer.

Quality control is embedded at every stage of our process. We verify raw material certificates, conduct in-process inspections at partner mills, and perform final inspection before shipment. Our QC team checks dimensions, surface quality, and documentation. We can also arrange third-party inspection by SGS, Bureau Veritas, or other agencies upon request.
