Fabrication
Titanium Grade 2 is highly responsive to cold forming using standard methods. It can be machined with ease, provided that sharp tools are maintained and lubricants are liberally applied. Similar to machining austenitic stainless steels, the process involves deep, continuous cuts with slow feeds and speeds for optimal results.
Stock Availability
Daxun Alloys maintains a diverse stock of CP 2 Grade Titanium Seamless and Welded Pipes in a variety of sizes, ensuring prompt availability for your needs.
Weight Reduction
CP 2 Grade Titanium Tubes boast low density and an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for applications requiring significant weight reduction without compromising strength. These tubes are cold formable, possess excellent ductility, and can be welded using conventional TIG and MIG processes. Inert gas shielding is essential to prevent embrittlement of the weld zone.
Crystal Structure
At room temperature, ASTM B338 Grade 2 Titanium Tube features an alpha (hexagonal close-packed) crystal structure, akin to commercially pure titanium grades 1 and 3. Upon reaching approximately 885°C (1625°F), it transforms to a beta (body-centered cubic) structure. This transformation temperature can vary based on the type and quantity of impurities or alloying additions. Alloying elements also divide the equilibrium transformation temperature into two zones: the alpha transformation zone (below which the alloy is all alpha) and the beta transformation zone (above which the alloy is all beta). Between these two temperatures, alpha and beta phases coexist. For Grade 2 Titanium, typical alpha and beta transformation temperatures are 890°C (1635°F) and 913°C (1675°F), respectively.
Grade 2 Titanium Seamless Pipe Manufacturing Process
Daxun's ASTM B338 Grade 2 Titanium Seamless Tubes are meticulously crafted from hollow blanks using either a hot extrusion process or an oblique rolling and piercing process, followed by several cold rolling stages. These seamless tubes exhibit continuous perimeters throughout all manufacturing stages. The intricate manufacturing process includes: sponge titanium vacuum arc melting, ingot blanking for hollow blanks, cleaning, cutting and feeding, hot extrusion or oblique rolling plus piercing, degreasing, drying, cutting, online annealing and straightening, pickling, multiple cold rolling, degreasing, drying, vacuum annealing, straightening, cutting, pickling, final inspection, marking (DAXUN), and packaging.
Grade 2 Titanium Welded Pipe Manufacturing Process
Daxun's ASTM B338 Grade 2 titanium welded pipe is crafted from annealed flat-rolled steel plate or steel strip through an advanced automatic arc welding (TIG) process. The production journey includes: titanium plate uncoiling, shearing, butt welding, cleaning, pipe forming, TIG welding, eddy current testing, pre-sizing, annealing, precision reducing and sizing, straightening, eddy current testing, caliper marking, cutting, ultrasonic testing, hydrostatic testing, final inspection, and packaging. To ensure unparalleled quality, these welded pipes undergo at least one stress relief heat treatment post-forming and welding. Notably, Daxun employs filler materials during the welding process, guaranteeing superior pipe integrity.
Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Pipe - Grade 5 Titanium Tube

Weldability
The DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5, exhibits excellent weldability in both annealed and solution-aged conditions. Post-weld heat treatment is essential for effective aging. Take necessary precautions to prevent contamination from oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. Fusion welding is best performed in an inert gas-filled chamber or with an inert gas tail shield to protect the molten metal and surrounding hot zones. Techniques like spot welding, seam welding, and flash welding can be executed without a protective atmosphere.
Ensure optimal weld quality in DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tubes by avoiding contamination from oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. Post-weld heat treatment is crucial for aging. Utilize fusion welding in an inert gas-filled chamber or with an inert gas tail shield. Protective atmospheres are not needed for spot, seam, and flash welding, ensuring versatile and efficient welding solutions.
Special Considerations
Special care must be taken when handling DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tubes to prevent contamination. Improper pickling and absorption of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon during processes like forging, heat treating, and brazing can compromise ductility, notch sensitivity, and formability. Maintain stringent controls to preserve the tube's superior qualities and ensure lasting performance.
