Titanium Heat Treatment Services
Titanium Heat Treatment
At Laube Titanium, we provide professional heat treatment services designed to enhance the mechanical properties of titanium through precise and controlled heating processes. Whether you require improved strength, hardness, or ductility, our heat treatment solutions ensure optimal performance for your specific application.
Why Titanium Heat Treatment?
Titanium Heat treatment is essential in tailoring titanium’s characteristics to meet demanding industrial requirements. Through controlled heating and cooling cycles, we can alter the material’s microstructure to achieve desired properties such as:
- Increased Strength: Enhancing load-bearing capabilities.
- Improved Ductility: Allowing better formability and machining.
- Optimized Hardness: Providing enhanced wear resistance.
- Residual Stress Relief: Minimizing distortions from machining and fabrication.
Our Heat Treatment Processes
We utilize industry-standard methods to ensure consistent and reliable results:
- Annealing: Reduces hardness and improves ductility, making titanium easier to work with.
- Solution Treatment and Aging (STA): Strengthens titanium alloys by creating a uniform microstructure.
- Stress Relieving: Removes internal stresses to prevent warping and cracking.
- Beta Annealing: Enhances fracture toughness and mechanical uniformity.

Glossary of Terms for Titanium Heat Treatment
Annealing: A heat treatment process that softens titanium, reducing hardness and increasing ductility to make it easier to machine and form.
Beta Annealing: A specialized heat treatment that improves fracture toughness and mechanical uniformity by heating titanium into its beta phase before controlled cooling.
Dimensional Verification: The inspection process ensuring that titanium components retain precise measurements and tolerances after heat treatment.
Hardness Testing: A method used to assess the surface strength and wear resistance of titanium by measuring its resistance to deformation.
Microstructure Analysis: The examination of the internal structure (grain size and phase distribution) of titanium to verify the effects of heat treatment and ensure uniform properties.
Residual Stress Relief: A heat treatment technique designed to remove internal stresses developed during machining or fabrication, minimizing the risk of warping or cracking.
Solution Treatment and Aging (STA): A two-step heat treatment that strengthens titanium alloys by dissolving and then precipitating strengthening phases within the metal structure.
Ultrasonic Inspection: A non-destructive testing method using high-frequency sound waves to detect internal flaws or inconsistencies in titanium components.
