Daxun Alloy's Pure Titanium Grade 1 Tubes Include:
Seamless titanium tubes and welded titanium tubes, featuring remarkable ductility and cold formability, are perfect for deep drawing. Grade 1 titanium tubes are renowned for their outstanding general and seawater corrosion resistance and exceptional resilience against oxidizing, neutral, and slightly reducing media (solutions), including chlorides.
Titanium's low density (approximately half that of nickel-based alloys), combined with its high strength, lightweight nature, and excellent corrosion resistance, makes it an ideal choice for a range of challenging chemical environments. The execution standards for our titanium tubes include: ASTM B338, ASTM B265, ASME SB265, ASTM F67, ISO 5832-2, 3.7025, and UNS R50250.
Grade 2 Titanium Tube (UNS R50400 / Werkstoff WS 3.7034)
This titanium tube is widely utilized in industrial applications, offering a perfect balance of moderate strength and reasonable ductility. It provides excellent corrosion resistance in highly oxidizing and slightly reducing conditions (including chlorides). Its robust corrosion protection makes it ideal for the chemical and offshore industries, as well as aircraft manufacturing, where strength and formability are critical. Additionally, it is used in heat exchangers, hypochlorite systems, fire water systems, ballast water systems, industrial and aerospace components, CPI equipment, and pipes.
Fabrication
Titanium Grade 2 is highly responsive to cold forming using standard methods. It is easily machined, but maintaining sharp tools and the liberal use of coolant is crucial. Similar to machining austenitic stainless steels, deep and continuous cuts with slow feeds and speeds are recommended.
Stock Availability
Daxun Alloys maintains a diverse stock of CP 2 Grade Titanium Seamless and Welded Pipes in various sizes.
Weight Reduction
CP 2 grade titanium tubes boast low density and a high strength-to-weight ratio, making them perfect for applications requiring weight reduction without compromising overall strength. They exhibit good ductility, are cold formable, and can be welded using traditional TIG and MIG processes. However, inert gas shielding is necessary to prevent embrittlement of the weld zone.
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. At approximately 885°C (1625°F), they transform into a beta (body-centered cubic) structure. This transformation temperature can vary depending on the type and amount of impurities or alloying additions. Alloying elements can also separate the single temperature of the equilibrium transformation into two 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 two 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 crafted from hollow blanks through a hot extrusion process or an oblique rolling and piercing process, followed by multiple cold rolling processes. Titanium seamless tubes maintain continuous perimeters throughout all manufacturing stages. The comprehensive manufacturing process 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 exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship, produced from annealed flat-rolled steel plate or strip using the advanced automatic arc welding (TIG) process. Key production stages include: uncoiling titanium plate, 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. Post-formation and welding, the pipes undergo a mandatory stress relief heat treatment to ensure durability. Notably, Daxun maintains a stringent process, eschewing the use of any filler materials during welding.
