Titanium Alloy Grade 2 is 100% pure titanium. It has excellent corrosion resistance and strength similar to austenitic stainless steels despite its low density. It is readily formable and has strong weldability. It is the most widely used titanium grade.
The properties of titanium
High Strength, Low Density
Pure titanium is distinguished by its unique strength, which can exceed 590 MPa tensile strength. This strength increases significantly in alloy shape, reaching 1250 MPa.
Its fatigue strength is about half that of its tensile strength and does not deteriorate when subjected to welding or immersed in seawater. Titanium grade 2 Sheets and plates are ideal for applications that need a unique blend of strength and material lightness.
4.506 g/cm3 density
Tensile power ranges from 200 MPa to 1300 MPa varies depending on purity and alloy composition.
Resistance to Corrosion
Since pure titanium readily reacts with oxygen, it creates an oxide layer that protects it from corrosive materials and environments. Its corrosion resistance is caused by chlorine compounds, seawater, common acids, and extreme temperatures.
Refractory properties
Its refractory metal properties distinguish titanium. Its melting point exceeds 1650°C, which is considerably greater than that of aluminium and steel. Meanwhile, the thermal expansion coefficient is 8.6 m/ (mK), which is less than that of steel and copper.
Applications of Titanium
Aerospace Industry
Titanium grade 2 Sheets and plates are used to produce aircraft parts (airframe and fastening components, hydraulic system components, and landing gear due to their temperature and corrosion resistance.
Titanium materials are most commonly used in the aerospace industry. Because of its high strength-to-weight ratio and high-temperature properties, it is a desirable commodity for this industry. Titanium is frequently found in aircraft components and fasteners. These same properties make titanium valuable for the manufacture of gas turbine engines and other components such as compressor blades, casings, engine cowlings, and heat shields.
Marine Equipment
Titanium has high corrosion resistance to seawater, making it an excellent material for ship rigging, propeller blades and shafts, and other submerged sections. People have been evolving using the ocean resource as technology makes it, and the land resource is being depleted. Titanium is attractive for ocean engineering applications due to its high corrosion resistance. As a result, numerous titanium materials have been used in seawater desalination, the building of warships, and ocean resource discovery.
Medical Industry
Titanium is used in various medical uses due to its inertness and non-toxicity, including surgical devices, dental implants, surgical instruments, and usability equipment.
However, since titanium is corrosion-resistant, biocompatible, and has an inherent capacity to join with human tissue, it has become a medical sector staple. Medical and dental titanium has been the primary commodity of medicine, from surgical titanium instruments to orthopedic titanium tubes, pins, and plates.
Chemical processing
Titanium adoption for plant structural and machinery products is owing to the overall cost benefits offered by its longevity over a long period.
Titanium grade 2 Sheets and plates have historically been used in aeroplanes, electric power plants, seawater desalination plants, and heat exchangers as a lightweight, sturdy, and highly corrosion-resistant material. Its aesthetic surface appearance and luxurious feel have recently found growing applications in consumer electronics, sporting goods, and information technology equipment.
