Grades of Titanium – Grades 1-4

To help you decide which Grade of Titanium is best suited for your needs, here's a little information on each. Grades 1-4 are pure titanium, while the rest are all alloys of some kind.

Pure titanium is desired for its high resistance to corrosion – alloys are valued for their high strength-to-weight ratio.

Grade 1 titanium is relatively low strength and high ducility; it's often used for plate heat exchangers.

Grade 2 is the most common pure grade, since it offers the best combination of strength, ducility and weldability - It's ideal for piping systems.

Grade 3 is high in strength, and used for matrix plates in shell and tube heat exchangers.

Grades of Titanium – Grades 5-12

Grade 5 titanium alloy is the most commonly used of its kind. It is exceptionally strong and highly heat resistant, making it perfect for the aerospace and subsea industries.

Grade 7 offers outstanding corrosion resistance in reducing and oxiding environments – it's therefore quite commonplace in the chemical industry.

Grade 9 titanium alloy combines excellent strength with great corrosion resistance – it is commonly used in hydraulic pumping or subsea applications.

Grade 11 is also used in the chemical industry, but is more suitable for deep drawing.

Lastly, we have Grade 12 titanium. This offers an even greater heat resistance than pure titanium. It is used in the chemical industry, as well as for shell and tube heat exchangers.

Titanium Qualities

The use of Titanium is becoming increasingly commonplace in a number of important industries, and it's all down to the numerous advantages it holds over more conventional metals. As mentioned above, pure titanium is exceptionally corrosion resistant, while alloys offer superior strength-to-weight ratios. Titanium also benefits from a high heat resistance and a very high melting point, which makes it ideal for heat transfer applications. Furthermore, It has very good oxidation capabilities, low elasticity, and low thermal expansion coefficient.

Machining and Cutting of Titanium

Despite its reputation, Titanium is NOT difficult to machine. In fact, it can be undertaken by any workshop that is professional and committed. On the Ti-Tek website, you can find more information on turning, milling, boring, drilling, broaching, tapping, toothing, grinding, lapping and cutting. These processes are no more difficult than if one were working with stainless steel.

ASTM Standards

Our materials are delivered in accordance with the ASTM Standard (American Society for Testing and Materials). This covers the mechanical, chemical, and metallurgical requirements of the four grades of pure titanium used for the manufacture of surgical implants. ASTM standards are accepted and used in R&D, product testing, quality systems and commercial transactions throughout the globe.

If you would like to find out more about ASTM standards, please follow the link to our website.

Our Services

To complement an already fantastic service, Ti-Tek also takes on sawing, shearing, water jet cutting and machining of parts. Whatever the specification, we'll have a look at your designs and drawings and machine or cut exactly as needed. We also offer technical services which support engineers, designers and buyers with information on the cost, availability, fabrication and application of titanium and its alloys.
