Titanium Grade 1
Titanium Grade 1 is a commercially pure titanium known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, excellent formability, and high ductility. It adheres to the specifications of ASTM B265, 3.7025, and UNS R50250, making it a preferred choice for a wide range of industrial applications.
This grade is particularly valued for its superior corrosion resistance, especially in marine and chemical environments. It is the softest and most ductile of all commercially pure titanium grades, allowing for easy cold forming and fabrication. Additionally, its outstanding biocompatibility makes it ideal for medical implants and surgical instruments.
Key Features
- Corrosion Resistance: Excellent in seawater, oxidizing acids, and alkaline environments.
- Formability: Superior ductility, easily shaped into various forms.
- Weldability: Highly weldable using conventional techniques.
- Biocompatibility: Non-toxic and suitable for medical applications.
