Grade 5 Titanium Alloy
Grade 5 is the most common titanium alloy due to its high strength. It is a commonly welding alloy that can function in structural and pressure-containing components. It has high corrosion resistance in both oxidizing and reducing environments.
In addition, it also finds use in the chemical and petroleum industries and the fabrication of offshore drilling platforms. The alloy functions in constructing water treatment facilities, nuclear reactors, and other critical environments requiring a high-strength, low-cost material.
Grade 6 Titanium Alloy
Grade 6 is a commonly welded titanium alloy containing aluminum and tin often used for components exposed to elevated temperatures. In addition to its high-strength properties, the alloy has excellent stability, making it a good choice for airframes and jet engines.
Grade 7 Titanium Alloy
Grade 7 titanium alloy is especially useful for low temperatures and pH applications. This is a result of its extreme corrosion resistance.
Grade 11 Titanium Alloy
Grade 11 is a titanium alloy with good high-temperature strength and high corrosion resistance. The alloy is a raw material for components operating in high temperatures, such as chemical and petroleum processing equipment and manufacturing aircraft engines and airframes. Grade 11 is also used to manufacture turbines, liquid hydrogen storage tanks, and other critical equipment. The alloy is easily fabricated by machining, forging, rolling, and extruding.
Grade 12 Titanium Alloy
It applies to manufacturing aircraft components, such as engine parts, airframes, landing gear, fuel systems, and other critical equipment. The alloy is also used to manufacture cryogenic vessels, heat exchangers, distillation columns, and other equipment operating at high temperatures.
In addition, grade 12 is easily fabricated by machining, forging, rolling, and extruding. Therefore, it is ideal for the manufacture of valves, fittings, and other equipment requiring corrosion-resistant materials.
Grade 23 Titanium Alloy
Grade 23 is a titanium alloy with good ductility and fracture toughness. It functions mostly in the manufacture of medical implants.
