Understanding Titanium Grades | Friend Metals
Let's delve into the fascinating world of Titanium Grades!
First up, Titanium Grade 1 - the purest form!
Benefits:
1. Shield (for Corrosion Resistance)
2. Feather (for Lightweight)
3. Medical cross (for Biocompatibility)
It's ideal for marine, aerospace, and even medical use.
Typical Applications:
β’ Heat exchanger
β’ Ship
β’ Chemical flask
β’ Medical implant
β’ Building
Next, Titanium Grade 2 - perfectly balancing strength and ductility.
Benefits:
1. Welding torch (for Weldability)
2. Stretching metal (for Ductility)
3. Shield (for Corrosion Resistance)
Used in aircraft components, architecture and more.
Typical Applications:
β’ Airplane
β’ Chemical flask
β’ Heat exchanger
β’ Cryogenic vessel
β’ Building pillar
Meet the workhorse, Titanium Grade 5 or Ti-6Al-4V.
Benefits:
1. Weight & strength scale (for High Strength)
2. Shield (for Corrosion Resistance)
3. Thermometer (for Heat Tolerance)
It's the choice for aerospace, sports equipment, and more.
Typical Applications:
β’ Aircraft Engine
β’ Fastener
β’ Prosthetic Leg
β’ Ship anchor
β’ Bicycle
Titanium Grade 7 offers superior corrosion resistance thanks to palladium.
Benefits:
1. Shield with palladium accent (for Enhanced Corrosion Resistance)
2. Forming metal (for Formability)
Perfect for harsh environments, jewelry, and coastal architecture.
Typical Applications:
β’ Chemical reactor
β’ Desalination plant
β’ Ship
β’ Jewelry ring
β’ Beach house
Lastly, Titanium Grade 9 or Ti-3Al-2.5V, which combines strength and flexibility.
Applications:
β’ Aircraft hydraulic tube
β’ Bicycle frame
β’ Ship
β’ Heat exchanger
