Description
Ti Gr.2 (UNS R50400)
It is the most widely used titanium alloy in all product forms for industrial service because of its moderate strength, excellent corrosion resistance, and formability. Titanium Grade 2 is a pure alpha titanium and is the most widely used titanium alloy in all product forms for industrial service. Grade 2 titanium is slightly weaker than Grade 3 titanium, but stronger than Grade 1 titanium and equally resistant to corrosion when compared to the other commercially pure titanium grades. Grade 2 provides an excellent balance of moderate strength and ductility with reasonable brittleness. Additionally, this material is non-magnetic. For use in chemical processes (it can be used in oxidising media, alkaline media, organic acids and compounds, aqueous salt solutions, and hot gases); offshore industries (it is fully resistant to corrosion when exposed to seawater at temperatures up to 300 °F); aircraft construction (it has a high strength level and is easy to form); and cryogenic vessels (it can be used in hypochlorite systems, fire water systems, ballast water systems, pumps, and cryogenic vessels).
Titanium is a lightweight metal that is exceptionally corrosion resistant, and in many environments, it outperforms stainless steel in terms of resistance to corrosion. Grade 2 titanium is the most widely used of the four commercially pure (C.P.) titanium grades, and it is the alloy of choice for the vast majority of industrial applications requiring high ductility and corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of titanium's C.P. grades is attributed to the formation of a highly adherent, stable, protective oxide film, which occurs in the presence of oxygen. The presence of this film renders commercially pure titanium grades resistant to the majority of oxidising agents.
