Daxun Alloy's Pure Titanium Grade 1 Tubes Include:
Seamless and welded titanium tubes showcasing unparalleled ductility and cold formability, perfect for deep drawing applications. Grade 1 titanium tubes are renowned for their superior resistance to general and seawater corrosion, as well as their exceptional defense against oxidizing, neutral, and slightly reducing media (solutions) including chlorides.
The low density of titanium, approximately half that of nickel-based alloys, combined with its high strength, light weight, and outstanding corrosion resistance, makes it indispensable for various challenging chemical environments. Adhering to the highest standards: 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)
Primarily utilized in industrial applications, this titanium tube offers an exceptional balance of moderate strength and ductility. It delivers excellent corrosion resistance in highly oxidizing and slightly reducing conditions, including chlorides. Essential for the chemical and offshore sectors, aircraft manufacturing, heat exchangers, hypochlorite systems, fire water systems, ballast water systems, and various industrial and aerospace components.
Fabrication
Titanium Grade 2 is highly receptive to cold forming with standard techniques. While it is easily machinable, maintaining sharp tools and using abundant coolant is crucial. Similar to machining austenitic stainless steels, deep and continuous cuts with slow feed rates and speeds are recommended.
Stock Availability
Daxun Alloys maintains an extensive inventory of CP 2 Grade Titanium Seamless and Welded Pipes in various dimensions.
Weight Reduction
CP 2 grade titanium tubes boast a low density and an impressive strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for applications necessitating weight reduction without compromising strength. They exhibit excellent cold formability, ductility, and can be welded using TIG and MIG processes with inert gas shielding to prevent weld zone embrittlement.
Crystal Structure
At room temperature, ASTM B338 Grade 2 titanium tube features an alpha (hexagonal close-packed) crystal structure, similar 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 vary based on impurities or alloying additions, which also create distinct temperature zones: the alpha transformation zone (below which the alloy is entirely alpha) and the beta transformation zone (above which the alloy is entirely beta). Between these temperatures, both alpha and beta forms coexist. For Grade 2 titanium, the 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 fabricated from hollow blanks via hot extrusion or an oblique rolling and piercing process, followed by multiple cold rolling stages. Throughout the manufacturing process, titanium seamless tubes retain continuous perimeters. The production sequence includes: sponge titanium vacuum arc melting, ingot blanking to obtain hollow blanks, cleaning, cutting and feeding, hot extrusion or oblique rolling and 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 utilizing an advanced automatic arc welding (TIG) process. Our production pipeline 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. Each welded pipe undergoes at least one stress-relief heat treatment post-formation and welding. Daxun ensures no filler materials are used during the welding process, maintaining the highest standards of purity and strength.
