Titanium Settings

When laser cleaning titanium, I've seen it stand out from denser metals like steel because of its lighter weight and strong natural oxide layer that fights corrosion so well. This makes it great for aerospace parts, where you can remove tough contaminants without deep damage, but the layer also means the laser tends to skim the surface gently—start with milder power and slower passes to let heat dissipate evenly and avoid uneven heating. Unlike aluminum, which scatters heat quickly, titanium holds it locally, so building up multiple light passes clears buildup effectively while preserving its durability. Just watch out at the end for any signs of discoloration, and dial back if needed to keep that protective shine intact.
