Product Details
Titanium Sheet Metal is widely used in aerospace, chemical processing, marine engineering, and medical industries. One of the most important factors in selecting titanium sheet is the grade classification, which determines strength, corrosion resistance, formability, and application suitability.
Titanium materials are mainly divided into commercially pure titanium (CP titanium) and titanium alloys. Each category includes multiple grades defined by ASTM standards.
Commercially Pure Titanium Grades
Commercially pure titanium contains very low alloying elements and is classified into Grade 1 to Grade 4 based on oxygen and iron content. As the grade number increases, strength increases while ductility decreases.
Grade 1 Titanium
Grade 1 is the softest and most ductile CP titanium.
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Highest formability
- Lowest strength among CP grades
Typical applications:
- Chemical processing equipment
- Heat exchangers
- Marine components
- Deep drawing parts
Grade 2 Titanium
Grade 2 is the most commonly used commercially pure titanium.
- Balanced strength and ductility
- Excellent corrosion resistance
- Good weldability
Typical applications:
- Industrial piping systems
- Pressure vessels
- Marine hardware
- Architectural components
Grade 3 Titanium
Grade 3 offers higher strength than Grade 2.
- Medium strength
- Good corrosion resistance
- Lower formability
Typical applications:
- Aerospace components
- Chemical equipment
- Structural parts
Grade 4 Titanium
Grade 4 is the strongest CP titanium grade.
- Highest strength among CP titanium
- Good corrosion resistance
- Lower ductility
Typical applications:
- Medical devices
- Aerospace parts
- High-strength industrial components
Titanium Alloy Grades
Titanium alloys are designed for higher strength and performance, especially in aerospace and engineering applications.
Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V)
Grade 5 is the most widely used titanium alloy in the world.
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio
- Good corrosion resistance
- Heat-treatable alloy
Composition:
- Titanium (Ti)
- Aluminum (Al): 5.5–6.75%
- Vanadium (V): 3.5–4.5%
Typical applications:
- Aerospace structures
- Aircraft engine parts
- Medical implants
- High-performance engineering components
Grade 7 (Ti-0.2Pd)
Grade 7 is a corrosion-resistant alloy.
- Excellent resistance to reducing acids
- Improved corrosion performance over CP titanium
- Similar strength to Grade 2
Typical applications:
- Chemical processing equipment
- Acid-resistant piping systems
Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V)
Grade 9 offers a balance between strength and formability.
- Higher strength than Grade 2
- Good cold working properties
- Excellent corrosion resistance
Typical applications:
- Aerospace tubing
- Bicycle frames
- Hydraulic systems
Grade 12 (Ti-0.3Mo-0.8Ni)
Grade 12 is designed for improved corrosion resistance.
- Excellent resistance to chloride environments
- Good weldability
- Moderate strength
Typical applications:
- Chemical plants
- Marine systems
- Heat exchangers
