11H042V - Walter Zip Titan 4.5-Inch Cutting Wheel for Titanium and Brass (5-Pack)

Precision Cutting for Exotic Metals

The Walter Zip Titan 11H042V is a specialized abrasive solution designed to meet the unique challenges of cutting titanium and brass. In industrial MRO and fabrication environments, working with exotic metals requires consumables that respect the material's properties. Standard cutting wheels often generate excessive friction, leading to heat buildup that can discolor titanium or gum up when cutting softer brass alloys. The Zip Titan is engineered with a unique formulation that resists loading and maintains a cool cutting action throughout the life of the wheel.

This 5-pack configuration is ideal for maintenance teams and specialized fabricators who need reliable performance without committing to bulk quantities. Each 4-1/2 inch wheel features a 3/64 inch thickness, providing the perfect balance between structural rigidity and a thin kerf for minimal material loss. The Type 1 flat profile allows for deep, perpendicular cuts, making it suitable for sectioning pipe, tubing, and sheet metal made from titanium alloys.

Safety and efficiency are paramount in the design of the Zip Titan. The wheel is reinforced to withstand the stresses of high-speed cutting while delivering a consistent cut rate. By preventing the metal from overheating, it reduces the need for secondary rework or surface preparation, ultimately saving time and reducing consumable costs in high-value manufacturing processes.

Technical Excellence in Abrasives

Walter Surface Technologies has developed the Zip Titan to address the specific metallurgical reactions that occur when grinding or cutting non-ferrous and reactive metals. The bonding agent used in these wheels prevents the 'smearing' effect often seen with brass and the 'blueing' or heat-checking seen with titanium. This ensures that the mechanical properties of the base material remain unaltered near the cut zone.
