Titanium?

Jun 12, 2005 4 Replies

Any recommendations for the best titanium alloy?



Project is compensators/muzzle brakes for handguns. Flame cutting and powder particle impact erosion are factors.



Conventional manual machining. Turn, drill, bore, tap, and milling operations.



Go with Ti-6AI-4V? Or is there another I should consider? Best source for



1"x1" bar stock in small quantities?

Been to the FAQ and Google, still confused, So it's time to tap the group wisdom!



Thanks,



Bill

Interesting! I wasn't aware that titanium could be flamecut.

Depends on if its a muzzle brake, or flash suppressor. And how many vents it has. Ive seen a number of titanium brakes on race guns. Shrug...if thats something you really need.
