Polishing titanium
1998
I am looking for a way to polish titanium. I need to get a smooth, slick and shiny finish (the grain in titanium has to come off) for mass production.
I have about 500.000 small pieces (rings and bars) to get done. The sizes vary from 18g to 12g and 1/4 inch to 1 1/2 inch inside diameter. I hope someone can help me.
Sorry for my bad english, I am german.
Regards,
Michael DuprePeople from our directory that advertise polishing equipment perhaps could offer assistance.

Have you considered fine grit shot blasting? This is similar to gem tumbler polishing. Allvac suppiles premium quality Titanium billet for the Aircraft Engine Manufacturing Industry.
