TITANIUM GRADES
Titanium Grade 2 / UNS R50400
Description
On a commercial level pure titanium, grade 1, 2, 3, and 4 have a minimum titanium content of 99%. The chemical combination of each grade varied somewhat, which has an impact on its mechanical properties and design potential. The degree of corrosion resistance in all four classes is comparable. Titanium is incredibly light, highly resistant to corrosion, and in many cases, considerably more so than stainless steel. Of the four titanium grades that are commercially pure Grade 2 is the most favoured alloy for most industrial uses wherever high ductility and resistance to corrosion are important.
Application
Because Titanium grade 2 has a lower density than other grades, it is highly sought after when weight is an issue. Titanium alloys are frequently used in the aerospace and medical industries. Applications in the maritime, chemical processing, and desalination fields are also well-suited to titanium Grade 2 because to its strength and resistance to corrosion. Oil and gas components, reaction and pressure vessels, tubing or pipe systems, heat exchangers, liners, flue-gas desulfurization systems, and numerous other industrial items are typical uses for Grade 2 titanium. With sporadic, intermittent service at 1000°F, regular service temperatures can reach up to 800°F.
