Daxun Alloy's pure titanium Grade 1 titanium tubes include:
Seamless titanium tubes and welded titanium tubes, crafted with exceptional ductility and cold formability, making them perfect for deep drawing. Grade 1 titanium tubes are renowned for their outstanding general and seawater corrosion resistance, as well as superb resistance to oxidizing, neutral, and slightly reducing media (solutions), including chlorides.
Titanium's low density (approximately half that of nickel-based alloys), coupled with its high strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance, renders it an excellent choice for a myriad of harsh chemical environments. Execution standards include: ASTM B338 | ASTM B265 | ASME SB265 | ASTM F67 | ISO 5832-2 | 3.7025 | UNS R50250.
Grade 2 Titanium Tube (UNS R50400 / Werkstoff WS 3.7034)
This is the most prevalently used titanium tube for industrial applications, offering a superb equilibrium of moderate strength and reasonable ductility. It boasts outstanding corrosion resistance in both highly oxidizing and slightly reducing conditions, including chlorides. This tube is ideal for use in the chemical and offshore industries, aircraft manufacturing, heat exchangers, hypochlorite systems, fire water systems, ballast water systems, CPI equipment, and pipes.
Fabrication
Titanium Grade 2 adeptly responds to cold forming using standard techniques. It can be easily machined, but special care must be taken to maintain sharp tools and generously use coolant. Similar to machining austenitic stainless steels, cuts should be deep and continuous with slow feeds and speeds.
Stock Availability
Daxun Alloys maintains an extensive inventory of CP 2 Grade Titanium Seamless and Welded Pipes in various sizes.
Weight Reduction
CP 2 grade titanium tubes feature low density and a high strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for applications demanding weight reduction without compromising strength. They are cold formable, exhibit good ductility, and can be welded using conventional TIG and MIG processes, with inert gas shielding necessary to prevent embrittlement of the weld zone.
Crystal Structure
At room temperature, ASTM B338 Grade 2 titanium tube possesses an alpha (hexagonal close-packed) crystal structure, akin to commercially pure titanium grades 1 and 3. At approximately 885°C (1625°F), it transitions to a beta (body-centered cubic) structure. This transformation temperature can be adjusted based on impurities or alloying additions. Alloying elements also split the single equilibrium transformation temperature into two zones: the alpha transformation zone (below which the alloy remains alpha) and the beta transformation zone (above which the alloy is all beta). Between these temperatures, both alpha and beta forms coexist. Typical alpha and beta transformation temperatures for Grade 2 titanium 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 produced from hollow blanks using hot extrusion or oblique rolling and piercing processes, followed by multiple cold rolling operations. Throughout manufacturing, titanium seamless tubes should have continuous perimeters. The production process includes: vacuum arc melting of sponge titanium ingots, blanking to obtain 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
Experience the precision and excellence of Daxun's ASTM B338 Grade 2 titanium welded pipes, meticulously crafted from annealed flat-rolled steel plate or steel strip using the advanced automatic arc welding (TIG) process. Our comprehensive production process 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 optimal performance, all welded pipes undergo at least one stress relief heat treatment post-forming and welding. Daxun guarantees top-notch quality without employing any filler materials during welding.

Forgeability/Formability The DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 Titanium Tube boasts exceptional forgeability. It is forged at a temperature of 1,750°F (954°C) with a final forging temperature of 1,450°F (788°C). To achieve optimal results, a reduction of at least 35% is highly recommended.
Our DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 Titanium Tube presents challenges in forming at room temperature, even when annealed. Therefore, critical forming operations such as bending or stretching should be performed on the annealed material at elevated temperatures up to 1,200°F (649°C), ensuring no alteration in its mechanical properties. For hot sizing or forming, creep forming is a viable method, with temperatures ranging from 1,000 to 1,200°F (538 to 649°C).
Machinability The DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 Titanium Tube can be expertly machined using techniques suitable for austenitic stainless steels.

Weldability The DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 Titanium Tube demonstrates excellent weldability in both the annealed and solution-aged conditions. Post-weld heat treatment includes an aging process.
Post-weld heat treatment ensures the desired properties are achieved. It is crucial to prevent contamination with oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. Fusion welding should be performed in an inert gas-filled chamber or using an inert gas tail shield over the molten metal and adjacent hot zones. Spot welding, seam welding, and flash welding can also be executed without requiring a protective atmosphere.
Special Considerations The DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 Titanium Tube must be handled with care to prevent hydrogen contamination from improper pickling and the absorption of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon during various processes such as forging, heat treating, and brazing. Such contamination may negatively impact ductility, notch sensitivity, and formability.
