MACHINING DATA · S TITANIUM (COMMERCIALLY PURE)

Titanium Grade 2 machining data: cutting speed, feed and carbide grade to start with.

Starting cutting speed in m/min and sfm, feed in mm/rev and ipr, the carbide grade class and the setup by operation for Titanium Grade 2 (W.-Nr. 3.7035). The numbers are the published S01 Titanium (commercially pure) sub-group starting band; the designations are on the cross-reference page.

Sub-group starting values for carbide inserts, from S01 Titanium (commercially pure). They describe the whole sub-group and are not tuned to Titanium Grade 2. sfm and ipr are converted from the metric values (1 m/min = 3.281 sfm, 25.4 mm = 1 in). The published band is per sub-group, not per operation; the table below gives the setup by operation. Convert Vc to spindle speed with the speeds & feeds calculator, and see the speeds & feeds guide for the ISO S group range.

Setup by operation

OperationGeometryCoating familyCoolantFirst check
RoughingSharp, high positive rake, polished flute; keep the tool movingSharp fine-grain carbide, uncoated or thin PVDHigh-pressure coolantHeat at the edge: keen edge and coolant
FinishingSharp, high positive rake, polished fluteUncoated or thin PVD fine-grain carbideHigh-pressure coolantGalling and built-up edge: raise speed into the band
Interrupted cutSharp positive edge; never dwellFine-grain carbide, uncoated or thin PVDHigh-pressure coolantLong gummy chips: keep feed up for clearable chips
Low rigidity / thin wallSharp positive geometry so the chip thins outFine-grain carbide, uncoated or thin PVDHigh-pressure coolantChange edges early: a worn edge generates heat

Setup rows are the selection table of the S01 Titanium (commercially pure) guide. They carry no speeds, so they do not change the starting band above.

03 · CARBIDE GRADES

Carbide grade class for Titanium Grade 2

Sharp, fine-grain carbide, uncoated or thin PVD. A keen edge matters more than coating.

The P, M, K, N, S or H number inside a grade range describes what the grade is built for, not the workpiece sub-group number, and the two scales must not be matched to each other. We name no single grade here: none of our published sources ties a named grade to this alloy. Pick by ISO class, then compare what the makers publish on the ISO S grade list and in the grade chart.

Titanium Grade 2 in EN, US and JIS terms

EN Ti Grade 2, Werkstoffnummer 3.7035, US UNS R50400 (ASTM B348 Gr. 2), JIS TP340 (nearest). The full table, with the nearest-match flags, is on the Titanium Grade 2 / 3.7035 cross-reference page.

05 · NOTES

How Ti Grade 2 behaves in the cut

Softer than Ti-6Al-4V but every titanium rule already applies: low speed, constant feed, copious coolant, never let the tool dwell or rub.

06 · FAQ

Common questions

What cutting speed should I start with for Titanium Grade 2?

The published starting band for the S01 Titanium (commercially pure) sub-group is 40–90 m/min (130–295 sfm) at 0.10–0.25 mm/rev (.004–.010 ipr). It is a starting band for the whole sub-group, not a value tuned to Titanium Grade 2, so confirm on a sample part and adjust for condition, tool and rigidity.

Which carbide grade should I use for Titanium Grade 2?

Sharp, fine-grain carbide, uncoated or thin PVD. A keen edge matters more than coating. Pick the grade by ISO class rather than by brand name, then confirm the exact grade for your condition. We name no single grade here because none of our published sources ties a named grade to this alloy.

What is Titanium Grade 2 called in EN, US and JIS standards?

EN Ti Grade 2 (Werkstoffnummer 3.7035); US: UNS R50400 (ASTM B348 Gr. 2); JIS: TP340 (nearest). Entries marked nearest are the closest commonly-cited counterpart, not a same-composition equivalent.
