Titanium Grade 2
Titanium Grade 2 is a commercially pure titanium known for its excellent corrosion resistance, good formability, and high strength-to-weight ratio. It adheres to the specifications of ASTM B348, 3.7035, and UNS R50400, making it a versatile choice for various industrial applications. This grade is particularly valued for its outstanding resistance to both oxidizing and mildly reducing environments, as well as its superior weldability and ductility.
It is widely used in industries requiring reliable performance in challenging conditions. Its biocompatibility also makes it suitable for medical applications such as implants and surgical instruments. Whether for aerospace, marine, or industrial uses, Titanium Grade 2 offers a combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties that are unmatched by other materials.
