EDC knife titanium handle blank profiles are Wire EDM (electric discharging machining) cut out from solid titanium plates, according the design CAD files programed as input of the machine. We offer CNC machining service of the knife handles based on client’s designs.
After the WEDM cutting, the titanium handle blank profiles are shifted to the CNC milling center in which the detailed features and all the surfaces of the handles are finished.
Materials of EDC Knife Titanium Handle Blank Profiles
The following grades of materials are optional as regular stocked materials. If required material grade is not listed, please let us known.
In this table, the composition and strength of the materials are listed.
| Titanium Grades | Composition | Density | Tensile | Yield | |||
