Titanium

Vapor blasting offers a precise solution for titanium. It removes heat treat scaling and oxidation without altering base material or dimensional accuracy. Our process restores a clean, uniform surface critical for aerospace, medical, and high-performance applications.

The demand for lightweight, high-strength components continues to grow in the aerospace industry. Titanium’s strength-to-weight ratio makes it ideal for critical parts ranging from turbine blades and landing gear to wing spars and fasteners. However, during heat treatment and hardening, titanium components often develop surface scale that must be carefully removed to ensure performance, precision, and inspectability.

A Safer, More Effective Way to Descale Titanium

Wet blasting—also known as vapor blasting—is rapidly becoming the industry standard for descaling titanium parts. Unlike dry blasting or grit blasting, wet blasting suspends the abrasive media in water, eliminating the electrostatic charge that poses a serious ignition risk when working with fine titanium dust. By neutralizing static and suppressing airborne particles, wet blasting offers a safer, cleaner, and more compliant method for surface finishing titanium.

Superior Surface Finishes, Even on Complex Geometries

In addition to improved safety, wet blasting delivers unmatched surface quality. The lubricating action of water allows abrasive media to flow smoothly over the component surface, removing oxidation and heat treat scale uniformly—even on intricate or hard-to-reach features. The result is a consistent, low-Ra finish with minimal surface deformation—ideal for parts that will undergo inspection, coating, or further machining.
