Titanium and Titanium alloys can be used in aerospace, military, medical, jewelry, telecommunications and other industries.There are several grades of Titanium. Grade 1 to Grade 4 are of pure Titanium, and the other grades are of alloys. Pure Titanium is used for its high corrosion resistance, and its alloys, for their extremely high strength to weight ratio.

 

 

Titanium has excellent strength retention in temperatures up to 800 K, is 30% stronger than steel, and twice as strong as aluminum. It is also lightweight (50% lighter than steel) and demonstrates excellent corrosion resistance.

 

Titanium Grade 2 UNS R50400, Of the four commercially pure (C.P.) titanium grades, Grade 2 is typically used in applications that require superior corrosion resistance in various aggressive media. Corrosion resistance is similar between these four C.P. grades but mechanical properties vary along with varying oxygen and iron contents.

 

Titanium's C.P. grades corrosion resistance comes from a strongly adherent, stable, protective oxide film, which forms in the presence of oxygen. This film makes the commercially pure titanium grades resistant to most oxidizing, neutral and inhibited reducing as well as mildly reducing environments. Strong reducing media may cause heavy corrosion.
