Titanium Grade 2

Common Trade Names: Titanium Grade 2; Commercially Pure Titanium Grade 2

Titanium Grade 2 designated as UNS R50400 - With moderate strength and excellent corrosion resistance and formability, Grade 2 titanium represents the most widely used form of titanium. Compared to the other grades of commercially pure titanium, Grade 2 titanium is slightly weaker than Grade 3, but stronger than Grade 1 and equally resistant to corrosion. These properties account for Grade 2 titanium's versatility in regard to its applications.

Properties:

• Titanium's C.P. grades corrosion resistance comes from a strongly adherent, stable protective oxide film, which forms in the presence of oxygen
• Grade 2 titanium proves useful in chemical processes, since it is highly resistant to chemical environments including oxidizing media, alkaline media, organic acids and compounds, aqueous salt solutions and hot gases
• Its corrosion resistance holds up in liquid metals, nitric acid, mildly reducing acids and wet chlorine or bromine gas

Typical Applications:

• Grade 2 titanium is also used to manufacture heat exchangers and cryogenic vessels
• In seawater, Grade 2 is fully resistant to corrosion at temperatures up to 600 F, rendering it ideal for a variety of marine uses
• It is suitable for condensers and evaporators, as well as the titanium tubing and tube headers in desalination plants.
• Grade 2 titanium proves useful in the aerospace industry. In addition to titanium sheet for airframe skins, this pure grade is ideal for ductwork, brackets and galley equipment
• Grade 2 titanium has a variety of other uses, not limited to power generation, hydrocarbon processing, CPI equipment, architecture, and automotive and medical uses
• It is also used to produce baskets, jigs, cathodes and starter-sheet blanks for the electroplating industry

Product Forms:

• Sheets, Strips, Plates
• Round bars, hexagon, Flat bar
• Pipes, tubes
• Wires
