Titanium Grades and Specifications

Commercially Pure Titanium Grade 1

Titanium Grade 1 is the softest titanium with the highest ductility, good cold formability which gives Titanium Grade 1 an excellent resistance from mild to high oxidization.

Commercially Pure Titanium Grade 2

Titanium Grade 2 has moderate strength with excellent cold formability, weldability. Commercially Pure titanium Grade 2 also has excellent resistance to high oxidization.

Titanium Alloy Grade 5 - Ti6Al4V

Titanium Grade 5 has very high strength but relatively low ductility. The main application of Titanium Grade 5 is in aircraft and spacecraft, while offshore use is growing. The alloy is weldable and can be precipitation hardened.

Titanium Grade 7

Titanium Grade 7, is the most corrosion-resistant titanium alloy offering outstanding resistance to general and localized crevice corrosion in a wide range of oxidizing and reducing acid environments including chlorides, with a good balance of moderate strength, reasonable ductility and excellent weldability. Physical and mechanical properties equivalent to Titanium Grade 2.

Titanium Alloy Grade 9

Titanium Grade 9, is sometimes referred to as "half 6-4". It offers 20-50% higher strength than C.P. grades, but is more formable and weldable than Ti-6AI-4V. Titanium Grade 9 combines strength, weldability and formability. The alloy has excellent formability plus higher tensile strength than the strongest unalloyed grade.

Titanium Grade 11

Titanium Grade 11, is the same as Titanium Grade 1, but with Pd added for better corrosion resistance. Titanium Grade 11 has optimum ductility and cold formability. It has also useful strength, high-impact toughness and excellent weldability.

Titanium Grade 12

Titanium Grade 12 is highly weldable, exhibiting improved strength allowable at increased temperatures, combined with superior crevice corrosion resistance, and excellent resistance under oxidizing to mildly reducing conditions, especially chlorides.

Titanium Grade 16

Titanium Grade 16 is a corrosion-resistant material offering outstanding resistance to general and localized crevice corrosion in a wide range of oxidizing and reducing acid environments including chlorides. It possesses a good balance of moderate strength, reasonable ductility and excellent weldability.

Titanium Grade 17

Titanium Grade 17, is the same as Titanium Grade 1, but with Pd for better corrosion resistance. Titanium Grade 17 has optimum ductility and cold formability with useful strength, high-impact toughness, and excellent weldability. Titanium Grade 17 is very resistant to crevice corrosion.
