One Group, Two Brands — The Complete Production Line from Melting to Machining
TUOHANG is the group that brings together two Baoji brands: Qicheng, which melts, rolls and forges titanium upstream, and Tuohang, which machines it into finished aerospace and turbomachinery parts downstream. This page sets out the structure rather than leaving you to reconstruct it.
Two brands, one production line. Qicheng melts and works the metal; Tuohang machines and inspects it. From your side there is one contract and one accountable party. Send a drawing
Buyers doing due diligence find this anyway. We would rather explain it in our own words.
Material production and precision machining are different businesses — different capital, different process controls, different certification routes. Registering them as two legal entities keeps each certification scope honest rather than stretching one certificate across two activities it does not really cover.

Why the structure stays this way. A machining scope and a melting scope are two different things. A mill that also claims an aerospace machining scope, or a machine shop that claims to melt its own titanium, is usually stretching one of them. Keeping the entities separate keeps each statement defensible during an audit.
What you experience externally. One brand, one point of contact, one quotation, one contract, one quality system and one document package. The internal transfer of material between the two companies is our problem, not yours.
About the name QCTI. You may see the abbreviation QCTI, or receive e-mail from an address at qctitanium.com. That is our material company's earlier trading name — Qicheng Titanium — still in use on our e-mail domain and in some older records. The brand we machine and contract under is TUOHANG, and the entity that signs your contract is Baoji Tuohang Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Correspondence from either name comes from the same group; if in doubt, confirm through the contact details on this site before sending payment or drawings.
Integrated Capability
Material in. Finished part out.
The practical value of the structure is that melt route, reduction, heat treatment and machining are planned against one schedule, and the heat lot is known before the first cut rather than reconstructed after the last one.
Melting · Rolling · Forging
Sponge from qualified domestic producers, melted and worked through the full bar route — hot forged, precision forged, hot rolled, cold rolled, ground. Plate to 2000 × 6000 mm. Heat number created and carried.

Chemistry and mechanical properties tested, EN 10204 documentation issued, stock released to machining.
Baoji Qicheng Nonferrous MetalsMachining · Inspection · Delivery
5-axis, 4/3-axis, CNC turning and conventional finishing, then inspection and documented shipment. The machining group runs Swiss GF Mikron and Guangzhou Feihong 5-axis centres, Xiamen Yangsen 3/4-axis centres and 10+ CNC turning centres, with Nano CMMs on Rational DMIS.
Baoji Tuohang Precision ManufacturingNo broker in the middle
The material path does not pass through a third party whose paperwork has to survive a handover.
One schedule
Melt route and machine time are sequenced together, so a material delay does not silently become a machining delay.
One answerable party
If a nonconformity traces back to the material, Tuohang still owns the corrective action.
Read the full vertical integration statement
Positioning statement. From titanium mill product to finished part, under one quality system. That is the whole proposition: the material is produced by one entity in our group, machined and inspected by the other, and delivered to you by a single contracting party that is accountable for both halves of the work.
History
How the capability was built
The milestones below are listed in the order they occurred. Specific years and event details are withheld pending confirmation of the underlying records — we will publish the dated version rather than an approximate one.
- — Entry into titanium and nonferrous material production. Melting, rolling and forging capability established in Baoji, supplying plate, bar, billet and forging stock.
- — Move into precision machining. Machining capability added to serve customers who wanted finished parts rather than mill product.
- — ISO 9001 quality system certification. Formalised quality management across the machining operation.
- — 5-axis capability commissioned. Simultaneous 5-axis machining added, opening impeller, blisk and IBR work.
- — ISO 9001 quality system certification. Quality management system certified at Baoji Tuohang.
- — Current facility configuration. 2,600 m² machining facility with more than thirty machine tools in operation.

Made in Baoji — China's Titanium Valley
Location is not a marketing line here; it is the reason the group is structured the way it is.
Baoji, in Shaanxi province, is known as China's Titanium Valley: the city hosts the country's concentration of Baoji titanium production — melting, forging, rolling, and the downstream processing that turns sponge into mill product. The supply chain around it — tooling, heat treatment, testing laboratories, and the people who know how to work the material — exists here in a density found in few other places.
For a buyer, three things follow from that:
- Material availability. Titanium in the grades you specify is a local purchase, not an import with a lead time attached to it.
- Process knowledge. Machining titanium is a skill held by people, and the people here have done it for years on the same alloys.
- Verification access. Independent testing and heat treatment are close enough to be used routinely rather than treated as an exception.
The machining facility is a single site of 2,600 m² with more than thirty machine tools. Distance to the nearest port and typical transit route:

The team behind the parts
One team in Baoji covers the full route — material handling, machining, inspection and packing. The same people who answer your enquiry at quotation see the order through to the packed crate.
The TUOHANG group team at the material warehouse, BaojiTeam & Responsiveness
We are not the biggest shop you will speak to. That is the point.
A focused facility has structural advantages that a large one cannot easily copy. We list them plainly, because they are the real reason our response times look the way they do. Behind that speed is a programming team of more than 20 engineers and technicians, averaging 8+ years of aerospace machining experience and hands-on programming of impellers, blades and casings.
Engineering and inspection staff read and apply the standards your drawing cites — ASME, ASTM, GB, IEC and FEM — and are trained in the conventional NDT methods (RT, UT, MT, PT) used to verify aerospace parts. Technical correspondence with overseas buyers is handled directly by bilingual engineers.
Short communication path
You speak to the person who quoted the part, not a sales layer relaying to an engineer who has never seen the drawing. Technical questions are answered by the people running the machines.
Fast response
A small team means a query does not sit in a queue. We answer e-mail within 24 hours, and a complete enquiry comes back quoted inside the same window — 10 minutes at the fastest; the targets are set out in full on the contact page. A dedicated engineer is assigned to each enquiry for one-to-one follow-up.
High attention per project
Your part is not one line in a portfolio of thousands. Setup engineering, tooling selection and inspection planning get the time they need, which is usually where the quality difference comes from.
Honest scope
Because our capacity is finite and visible, we decline work outside our envelope instead of accepting it and slipping. If a part does not suit us, you will hear that in the first reply.
Engineering-level contact
Process route, achievable tolerance and DFM comments come from manufacturing engineers, and are stated as recommendations you can overrule rather than as conditions.
Continuity of contact
The same person follows an enquiry through quotation, first article and repeat orders — so nothing has to be re-explained at each stage.
Team size and composition. Number of employees, engineering staff and quality staff: We publish these figures once they are confirmed rather than offering an estimate.
Talk to the people who will run your part
Send the drawing and the material callout. You will get an answer from the engineer who would programme the machine.
