Common grades of titanium metal

TA1 (American Standard Gr1) TA1 (Gr1) titanium is the first of the four commercially pure titanium grades. It is the softest and most ductile of these grades. It has the greatest formability, excellent corrosion resistance, and high impact toughness. Grade TA1 is the material of choice for any application that requires easy formability and is commonly available as titanium plate and tube.

 

TA2 (American Standard Gr2) Grade TA2 Grade titanium is known as the "workhorse" of the commercially pure titanium industry due to its diverse availability and wide availability. It has many of the same qualities as TA1 grade titanium alloy, but is slightly stronger. Both are equally corrosion resistant. The grade has good weldability, strength, ductility, and formability. This makes TA2 grade titanium rod and sheet the first choice for many applications in construction, power generation, the medical industry, and more.

 

TA3 (American Standard Gr3) Grade. This grade is the least used commercially pure titanium grade, but that doesn't make it any less valuable. TA3 grade is stronger than TA1 and TA2 grades, has similar ductility, and only slightly less formability. But it has higher mechanical properties than its predecessor. TA3 grade is used in applications requiring moderate strength and major corrosion resistance, such as aerospace, chemical processing, marine industry, etc.

 

TA4 (American Standard Gr4) Grade TA4 grade is considered the strongest of the four commercially pure titanium grades. It is also known for its excellent corrosion resistance, good formability, and weldability. It is used in some airframe components, cryogenic vessels, heat exchangers, and other applications that require high definition.

 

TA9 (American Standard Gr7) Grade TA9 grade is mechanically and physically equivalent to TA2 grade, except for the addition of the interstitial element palladium, making it an alloy. Grade 7 has excellent weldability and characteristics, and is the most corrosion resistant of all titanium alloys. In fact, it is the most corrosion resistant in reducing acids. TA9 grade is used in chemical processes and production equipment components. TA9 has extremely strong corrosion resistance, especially in reducing acid environments.

 

TA9-1 (ANSI Gr11) Grade TA9-1 is very similar to TA1 except that a small amount of palladium is added to enhance the corrosion resistance, making it an alloy. This corrosion resistance is useful for preventing crevice corrosion and reducing acids in chloride environments. Other useful properties include optimum ductility, cold formability, useful strength, impact toughness, and excellent weldability. This alloy can be used in the same titanium applications as Grade 1, especially where corrosion resistance is a concern.

 

Ti 6Al-4V (GB TC4, ANSI Gr5) Grade Known as the "workhorse" of titanium alloys, Ti6Al-4V or Grade 5 titanium is the most commonly used of all titanium alloys. It accounts for 50% of the total titanium usage worldwide. Its availability lies in its many benefits. Ti6Al-4V can be heat treated to increase its strength. It can be used in welded structures at service temperatures up to 600°F. This alloy combines high strength with light weight, useful formability, and high corrosion resistance. The availability of Ti6AI-4V makes it an optimal alloy for use in multiple industries, such as the aerospace, medical, marine, and chemical processing industries. It can be used to create the following technical content: Aircraft turbine engine components. Aircraft structural components, Aerospace fasteners, High-performance automotive parts, Marine applications, Sports equipment Ti 6AL-4V ELI (GB

 

TC4ELI, ANSI Gr23) grade Ti 6AL-4V ELI or TC4ELI grade is a higher purity form of Ti 6Al-4V. It can be made into coils, strands, wires, or flat wires. It is the first choice for any situation where high strength, light weight, good corrosion resistance, and high toughness are required. It has excellent damage tolerance to other alloys. These advantages make TC4ELI grade the ultimate dental and medical titanium grade. Due to its biocompatibility, good fatigue strength, and low modulus, it can be used in biomedical applications such as implantable components. It is also used in detailed surgical applications such as: Orthopedic pins and screwsOrthopedic cablesLigature surgical implantsOrthodontic appliances, joint replacementsCryogenic containers, fixation devices

 

TA10 (American Standard Gr12) Grade TA10 grade titanium is given an "excellent" grade because of its high quality weldability. It is a highly durable alloy that offers great strength at elevated temperatures. TA10 grade titanium has similar properties to the 300 series stainless steels. The alloy can be hot or cold formed using press forming, hydroforming, stretch forming, or drop hammer methods. Its ability to be formed in a variety of ways makes it useful in many applications. The high corrosion resistance of this alloy also makes it invaluable to those fabricating equipment where crevice corrosion is a concern. TA10 grade can be used in the following industries and applications: Shells and heat exchangers. Hydrometallurgical applications, temperature chemical manufacturingMarine and airliner components.

 

5Al-2.5Sn Ti 5Al-2.5Sn is a non-heat treatable alloy that is used to obtain good weldability and stability. It also offers high temperature stability, high strength, good corrosion resistance, and good creep resistance. Creep refers to the phenomenon of plastic strain occurring at high temperatures for a long time. Ti 5Al-2.5Sn is mainly used in aircraft and airframe applications and cryogenic applications.
