What is Precision drilling of gas holes?

Precision drilling of gas holes capability for titanium components

Integrated manufacturing capability for Precision drilling of gas holes, supported by in-house QC, material certification, and engineering review.

Engineering Parameters & Capabilities

Laser drilling of titanium uses pulsed laser energy to create precise holes through percussion or trepanning methods. Hole diameters range from 0.05 mm to 3 mm with aspect ratios up to 20:1, specifically for valve. Precision valve for Oil & Gas present unique challenges: Seat leakage Class VI (ANSI FCI 70-2) requires lapped sealing surfaces. Stem straightness ±0.02 mm over 500 mm.
