Our precision-focused offerings are crafted to help businesses in a wide variety of industries achieve high-performance results and longer-lasting products. Based in St. Charles, Missouri, Titanova serves industries like aerospace, agriculture, chemical processing, heavy equipment, and marine, providing specialized solutions for their toughest challenges.

At Titanova, we focus on delivering advanced laser and machining technologies that create cost-effective, high-quality results with minimal impact on materials. Whether you need surface treatments, coatings, or precision machining, Titanova is ready to meet your needs.

Titanova’s CNC machining services are at the core of our manufacturing capabilities. With a highly skilled team and advanced CNC equipment, we can create precision parts that meet exacting specifications. CNC machining allows us to work with a variety of metals and materials, producing components with tight tolerances and complex geometries that are essential in industries like aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing.

The advantage of CNC machining lies in its ability to produce large quantities of parts with exceptional consistency. Every part produced is identical to the last, making CNC machining a highly efficient solution for high-volume production runs. In addition to standard machining tasks, Titanova’s team can work with laser technologies to enhance the machining process, offering a fully integrated solution for parts that require both traditional machining and advanced laser treatments.

Laser heat treating is an advanced process used to enhance the hardness and durability of metal parts. By using focused laser beams to selectively heat the surface of materials, we can create a hardened outer layer while preserving the core material’s ductility. This results in components that are better equipped to withstand wear, stress, and extreme conditions.

The laser heat treating process is perfect for industries that require high-strength components, such as aerospace, automotive, and heavy equipment. This method offers significant advantages over traditional heat treatments, such as reduced distortion, faster processing times, and the ability to treat only specific areas of a part.

One of the key benefits of laser heat treating is that it minimizes the need for further machining after the treatment. The process can be performed with minimal heat distortion, reducing the need for post-treatment adjustments and saving both time and resources. Titanova’s laser heat treating services help customers maintain the integrity of their components while improving performance, making it an ideal solution for high-precision applications.

Laser cladding is an advanced process where a material is applied to a substrate to improve its properties. This technique uses a laser to melt a metal powder or wire, which is then deposited onto the surface of a component. The result is a layer of high-performance material that can significantly enhance resistance to wear, corrosion, and erosion.

Laser cladding offers a variety of benefits. First, it provides high precision, allowing coatings to be applied only where needed, which preserves the underlying material and reduces costs. The precision of the laser means less heat is introduced into the component, which reduces distortion and guarantees that the base material is not compromised during the coating process.

This technology is ideal for applications that require enhanced performance from components exposed to harsh conditions. Industries such as aerospace, marine, and energy production benefit greatly from laser cladding, as it can extend the lifespan of critical parts like turbine blades, shafts, and pumps.

Titanova’s team of experts works closely with clients to determine the best materials for each application, making sure that the final result is a coating that maximizes the performance of the part. Whether it’s improving surface hardness or adding wear-resistant materials, laser cladding offers a flexible solution for a wide range of applications.

Titanova offers a complete solution by combining CNC machining with laser-based technologies like heat treating and cladding. The combination of these services allows us to provide a comprehensive approach to part fabrication, making sure that every aspect of a part meets the highest standards of performance and precision.

For example, a part may first undergo CNC machining to achieve the required shape and size. Then, it may go through laser heat treating to enhance its surface hardness. Finally, the part could undergo laser cladding to add a wear-resistant coating to areas subject to high stress or wear. By using these services together, Titanova can help businesses reduce costs, eliminate the need for additional processing, and achieve better overall performance from their components.

This integrated approach is especially beneficial in industries where precision, durability, and cost-efficiency are essential. It allows businesses to reduce production time while increasing the performance and longevity of their parts.

Titanova doesn’t just specialize in laser heat treating and laser cladding. We also provide other laser-based services that help enhance the performance of metal parts. These services include:

• Laser Welding: Our laser welding services offer high-precision welding with minimal distortion. Laser welding is ideal for delicate parts and materials that need to be joined quickly and efficiently without the risk of overheating or distorting the base material.
• Laser Additive Manufacturing: Using laser additive manufacturing, Titanova can build up parts layer by layer, offering precise control over the material deposition process. This is particularly useful for creating complex geometries or repairing damaged parts.
• Laser Hardfacing: Our laser hardfacing service applies a layer of metal to parts that need to withstand extreme wear and tear. This technique is ideal for components used in heavy-duty environments, such as mining, agriculture, and manufacturing.
• Laser Glazing: In laser glazing, a thin layer of material is applied to improve the wear resistance of components, particularly those used in high-friction environments. This process is commonly used for parts that require improved surface hardness, such as piston rings and cylinder liners.
