Grade 2 Titanium: The Commercially Pure Workhorse | Properties, Uses & Specifications

Grade 2 Titanium: The Commercially Pure Workhorse (UNS R50400)

Grade 2 Titanium is the most widely utilized of the four commercially pure (CP) titanium grades, earning its reputation as the "workhorse" of the CP family. It offers a unique combination of moderate strength, excellent ductility, and superior corrosion resistance, making it an indispensable material across a vast range of industrial applications.

Why Choose Grade 2 Titanium? Key Features & Benefits

Superior Corrosion Resistance

Excellent resistance to highly corrosive environments, including chlorides, oxidizing acids, and alkaline media. It is a preferred choice for seawater and chemical processing applications.

Excellent Formability & Weldability

With good ductility, Grade 2 is highly formable and easily cold-worked. It possesses excellent weldability, allowing for complex fabrication with standard techniques.

High Strength-to-Weight Ratio

While only offering moderate strength, its low density provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, crucial for weight-sensitive applications in aerospace and automotive industries.

Primary Applications of CP Titanium Grade 2

The balanced properties of Grade 2 Titanium allow it to thrive in demanding environments where other materials fail. Its primary uses include:

  • Chemical Process Industry (CPI): Heat exchangers, condenser tubing, piping systems, and vessels due to its resistance to corrosive chemicals.

  • Marine & Offshore: Components exposed to seawater and brine, such as subsea equipment and pickling baskets.

  • Aerospace & Airframe: Non-structural airframe components where moderate strength and light weight are required.

  • Medical: Components for non-implantable medical devices and equipment.

  • Fasteners: Production of high-performance bolts, nuts, and other industrial fasteners.
