Daxun Alloy's Pure Titanium Grade 1 Tubes Include:
Seamless and welded titanium tubes, renowned for their outstanding ductility and cold formability, perfect for deep drawing applications. Grade 1 titanium tubes excel in general and seawater corrosion resistance, offering exceptional resilience against oxidizing, neutral, and slightly reducing media (solutions) including chlorides.
Titanium's inherently low density (approximately half that of nickel-based alloys) combined with high strength, lightweight properties, and superior corrosion resistance, positions it as the ideal choice for use in a multitude of harsh chemical environments. Adhering to stringent execution standards such as ASTM B338, ASTM B265, ASME SB265, ASTM F67, ISO 5832-2, 3.7025, and UNS R50250 ensures unparalleled performance.
Grade 2 Titanium Tube (UNS R50400 / Werkstoff WS 3.7034)
Grade 2 titanium tubes are the preferred choice for industrial applications, striking an excellent balance between moderate strength and ample ductility. These tubes deliver superior corrosion resistance in highly oxidizing and slightly reducing conditions (including chlorides) and provide robust protection in chemical and offshore industries, as well as aircraft manufacturing. Applications include heat exchangers, hypochlorite systems, fire water systems, ballast water systems, industrial and aerospace components, CPI equipment, and piping systems.
Fabrication
Titanium Grade 2 is highly responsive to cold forming using conventional methods, and can be easily machined with proper maintenance of sharp tools and liberal use of coolant. Similar to machining austenitic stainless steels, deep, continuous cuts with slow feeds and speeds yield optimal results.
Stock Availability
Daxun Alloys maintains a robust inventory of CP 2 Grade Titanium Seamless and Welded Pipes in a variety of sizes to meet diverse application needs.
Weight Reduction
CP 2 grade titanium tubes, characterized by low density and a high strength-to-weight ratio, are tailored for applications demanding weight reduction without compromising on strength. These tubes are cold formable, exhibit good ductility, and are weldable using standard TIG and MIG processes, provided inert gas shielding is employed to prevent weld zone embrittlement.
Crystal Structure
At room temperature, ASTM B338 Grade 2 titanium tubes possess an alpha (hexagonal close-packed) crystal structure, akin to commercially pure titanium grades 1 and 3. Upon reaching approximately 885°C (1625°F), it transitions to a beta (body-centered cubic) structure. Impurities or alloying elements can modify this transformation temperature. The introduction of alloying elements splits the single 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 zones, both alpha and beta forms 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 through hot extrusion or oblique rolling and piercing processes, followed by a series of cold rolling operations. The manufacturing process ensures continuous perimeters at each stage, involving steps such as vacuum arc melting, blank preparation, hot extrusion, degreasing, drying, cutting, annealing, straightening, pickling, cold rolling, final vacuum annealing, and stringent inspections before marking (DAXUN) and packaging.
Grade 2 Titanium Welded Pipe Manufacturing Process
Discover the cutting-edge ASTM B338 Grade 2 titanium welded pipe from Jiangsu Daxun Alloy Co., Ltd. Expertly crafted using automatic arc welding (TIG) with annealed flat-rolled steel plate or steel strip, our production process includes a series of meticulous steps: titanium plate uncoiling, shearing, butt welding, cleaning, pipe forming, TIG welding, eddy current testing, pre-sizing, annealing, precision reducing and sizing, straightening, caliper marking, cutting, ultrasonic testing, hydrostatic testing, final inspection, and packaging. Each pipe undergoes stress relief heat treatment after forming and welding, without the use of any filler materials during the welding process.

The DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 Titanium Tube can be expertly machined using techniques akin to those for austenitic stainless steels. Employ slow speeds, high feed rates, robust tool rigidity, and generous quantities of non-chlorinated cutting fluids to achieve precise results.
Weldability
The DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 Titanium Tube excels in weldability when in the annealed or solution and partially aged conditions, with aging completed during post-weld heat treatment. Proper precautions should be taken to prevent contamination from oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen.
To ensure impeccable fusion welding, conduct the process in an inert gas-filled chamber or utilize an inert gas tail shield over the molten metal and adjacent hot zones. Techniques such as spot welding, seam welding, and flash welding can also be employed without the necessity of a protective atmosphere.
Special Considerations
While working with the DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 Titanium Tube, it is vital to avoid contamination from hydrogen during improper pickling, as well as from the absorption of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon during various processes like forging, heat treating, and brazing. Such contamination can negatively impact ductility and impair notch sensitivity and formability.
