Engineered for maximum tensile strength, zero seawater corrosion, and up to 45% weight reduction over grade 12.9 alloy steel. Fully batch-tested with EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Reports.
Headquartered on Yucai Road in the High-tech Development Zone of Baoji (China's Titanium Valley), Navzo integrates raw material smelting provenance with high-end CNC fabrication to eliminate supply chain friction.
We source vacuum-arc remelted (VAR) Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) and Grade 2 titanium directly from local Baoji sponge mills. Each batch is 100% traceable with chemical spectrometry and mechanical tensile certifications conforming to ASTM B348, AMS 4928, and ISO 5832 specifications.
Unlike basic machine shops that exclusively cut threads, our facility combines automated multi-station cold heading machines for grain-aligned fastener blanks with 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC Swiss machining centers. Thread profiles are rolled post-heat treatment to maximize shear and fatigue endurance.
Titanium inherently suffers from galling and thread cold-welding under torque. Navzo provides proprietary surface modifications including High-Vacuum Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), Micro-Arc Oxidation (MAO), Thermal Anodizing, and Molydisulfide (MoS2) dry-film coatings for smooth cycling.
Every critical batch passes coordinate measuring machine (CMM) verification, non-destructive ultrasonic flaw detection, digital optical comparator profile checks, and thread go/no-go ring gauge inspection. Zero defects, guaranteed pitch diameter, and burr-free chamfers.
We routinely manufacture non-standard heads, internal/external relief bores, lightening pockets, asymmetric flanged sleeves, and custom titanium equipment fittings. Our engineers complete DFM (Design for Manufacturability) analysis within 24 hours of receiving your 3D CAD models.
With massive raw billet inventories stored in-house, standard sizes ship within 3–7 days from catalog stock. For prototype CNC production runs, we provide 5-day rapid sampling, supporting tier-1 industrial clients across the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and the UK.

How progressive supply chains are transitioning from transactional part purchasing to strategically integrated, high-precision titanium manufacturing partnerships.
Global OEMs are cutting out regional trading houses to source directly from Baoji titanium manufacturing clusters. Direct mill integration reduces markups by 25–40% and eliminates counterfeit grade risks via direct mill heat number traceability.
With electric hypercars, battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and e-motorcycles prioritizing weight reduction to extend battery range, titanium suspension fasteners and motor mountings are replacing steel to reduce curb mass without sacrificing chassis stiffness.
Machining titanium generates high tool wear and chips (poor thermal conductivity). Advanced manufacturers are shifting from full bar billet machining to cold/warm heading blanks, followed by 5-axis finish milling, cutting cycle times and raw material scrap.
Aerospace and high-end automotive buyers increasingly require PVD Titanium Carbo-Nitride (TiCN) and Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coatings. These vacuum coatings achieve surface hardnesses exceeding 2500 HV, eliminating galvanic binding with carbon fiber.
Titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V is notorious for low thermal conductivity (6.7 W/m·K), high chemical reactivity at elevated temperatures, and low modulus of elasticity (114 GPa). Here is how Navzo engineers precision.
Because titanium conducts almost no heat into the chip, cutting temperatures at the tool-workpiece interface can exceed 1000°C. Navzo employs 70-bar high-pressure through-coolant tooling with water-soluble micro-emulsions to blast away chips instantly, preventing work hardening and edge buildup (BUE).
CNC cut threads interrupt the internal grain structure of the titanium bar, introducing microscopic notch stress concentrations. Navzo runs high-pressure cylindrical die thread rolling on all structural bolts. Rolled threads compress the grain flow along the root radius, increasing cyclic fatigue life by up to 35%.
With a modulus of elasticity nearly half that of steel, titanium pushes away from the cutting tool during milling passes, causing dimensional springback and chatter. We implement rigid carbide toolholders, optimized positive rake geometry (≥12°), and climb-milling techniques to lock tolerances to ±0.005mm.
Essential guidance covering titanium metallurgical grades, anti-galling lubrication, custom tooling lead times, and global shipping protocols.
Grade 2 is commercially pure (CP) unalloyed titanium offering outstanding ductility and near-infinite resistance to chloride, saltwater, and chemical media, but with moderate tensile strength (∼345–480 MPa). Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) is an alpha-beta alloy heat-treated to deliver minimum tensile strengths of 895–1050 MPa. Grade 5 is mandatory for load-bearing fasteners, caliper mounts, and structural powertrain applications, while Grade 2 is preferred for chemical piping, exhaust baffles, and anodizing fixtures.
Galling occurs because titanium quickly generates a self-healing native oxide film that, under localized frictional pressure, can shear and micro-weld opposing threads together. We solve this through: (1) high-precision Class 6g/6H thread rolling that eliminates surface micro-asperities; (2) PVD or Micro-Arc Oxidation (MAO) surface conversions that increase surface hardness; and (3) supplying factory-applied anti-seize pastes (copper or nickel-based) and molybdenum disulfide dry lubricants.
Every commercial production run ships with an inspection documentation package. This includes raw material Mill Test Certificates (MTR) according to EN 10204 3.1 detailing chemical composition (O, N, C, H, Fe, Al, V) and mechanical pull tests, alongside CMM dimensional inspection reports, plating/coating thickness verification, and RoHS/REACH compliance declarations.
On precision turned diameters and internal bores, our multi-axis Swiss-style lathes maintain standard tolerances of ±0.005mm (±0.0002 in). On milled contours, multi-axis face features, and hole concentricity, we comfortably hold ±0.01mm. Thread accuracy strictly satisfies ISO 965-2 / ANSI B1.1 Class 6g external and 6H internal tolerances.
For standard catalog fasteners (e.g., DIN 912 M5/M6/M8 socket bolts, M14 wheel lug nuts), our MOQ is 100 to 200 pieces per size. For fully bespoke OEM/ODM custom components produced from customer CAD drawings (STEP, IGES, DWG), we offer prototype test runs as low as 10–50 pieces, transitioning into production batches of 500 to 100,000+ pieces.
While electrochemical color anodizing offers stunning cosmetic tones (gold, blue, purple, bronze) at an economical price point, vacuum PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) provides far superior surface hardness (over 2000–2500 Vickers). PVD coatings (like TiN gold, TiAlN black, and TiCN) form a metallurgical bond with the substrate, making them ideal for high-wear wheel lug nuts and frequently torqued race fasteners.
Titanium and carbon fiber have very close electrochemical galvanic potentials, making Grade 5 titanium the only metallic fastener recommended by aerospace engineers for direct assembly into carbon composite matrices (aluminum and alloy steel create intense galvanic coupling with carbon, corroding rapidly). When pairing titanium with aluminum housings, an anti-corrosion barrier or zinc-free barrier paste is recommended in marine atmospheres.
In-stock inventory orders ship within 48 to 72 hours. Custom CNC machining runs typically require 10 to 14 business days for initial samples, with mass production completed within 20 to 28 days depending on batch scale and surface finish requirements. Express courier air shipments (FedEx, DHL, UPS) reach North America and Europe in 3 to 5 business days.
Yes. We offer high-resolution fiber laser marking directly on bolt heads, nut flanges, or machined housings with your brand logo, thread dimension, material grade (e.g., Ti-6Al-4V), or traceability lot numbers. Custom packaging options include anti-scratch thermoformed clamshell blister packs, labeled barcode bags, and foam-lined master cartons.
We reject recycled secondary melting stock. Navzo exclusively procures virgin sponge-melted titanium bars certified with low interstitial element levels (ELI Grade where designated). Every incoming heat lot is checked using a handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometer to verify elemental titanium, aluminum, and vanadium ratios before a single chip is cut.
