Titanium, Inconel, Hastelloy, and other exotic alloys are critical to the most demanding industries—from aerospace and medical devices to energy and defense. These materials offer exceptional strength, corrosion resistance, and heat tolerance. But they also present major machining challenges that can quickly drive up costs or compromise quality if not handled correctly.
At Minnexon, we’ve made it our specialty to solve these problems—where others struggle, we deliver.
Machining exotic materials isn’t just about having the right equipment. It demands a deep understanding of:
Material Behavior Under Heat: Alloys like Titanium and Inconel generate extreme heat during cutting. Without precise toolpath strategies and thermal control, this can lead to warping, micro-cracking, or tool failure.
Work Hardening: These materials tend to harden as they are machined, rapidly increasing cutting resistance and accelerating tool wear.
Low Machinability: Their high strength and poor thermal conductivity make conventional methods ineffective or inefficient.
Surface Finish & Tolerances: Achieving mirror finishes or tolerances within ±0.002mm requires tuned setups, rigid fixturing, and intelligent parameter control.
We bring together high-end CNC equipment, optimized tooling strategies, and years of field experience to ensure every exotic metal component meets your exact requirements.
“We can’t find a shop that can hold ±0.01mm in Inconel.”
“Our current supplier keeps burning edges on titanium parts.”
“The prototype vibrates during thin wall machining—no one can stabilize it.”
“We need both surface finish and strength—without post-processing.”
