Renowned for their superior general and seawater corrosion resistance, Grade 1 tubes also excel in oxidizing, neutral, and slightly reducing environments, including chlorides.
Titanium's low density-roughly half that of nickel-based alloys-combined with its high strength, lightweight nature, and exceptional corrosion resistance, makes it the ideal choice for challenging chemical conditions. 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)
Widely utilized in industrial applications, Grade 2 titanium tubes offer a remarkable balance of moderate strength and excellent ductility. They provide exceptional corrosion resistance in both highly oxidizing and slightly reducing conditions, including chlorides. These tubes are indispensable in the chemical and offshore industries, aircraft manufacturing, heat exchangers, hypochlorite systems, fire water systems, ballast water systems, industrial and aerospace components, CPI equipment, and pipelines.
Fabrication
Titanium Grade 2 is highly responsive to cold forming with standard methods. It can be easily machined, requiring sharp tools and liberal coolant usage. Similar to machining austenitic stainless steels, the 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 boast low density and a high strength-to-weight ratio, ideal for applications demanding weight reduction without compromising strength. They are cold formable, highly ductile, and can be welded using conventional TIG and MIG methods, although inert gas shielding is essential to prevent weld zone embrittlement.
Crystal Structure
At room temperature, ASTM B338 Grade 2 titanium tubes feature an alpha (hexagonal close-packed) crystal structure, similar to commercially pure titanium grades 1 and 3. At approximately 885°C (1625°F), this structure transforms to a beta (body-centered cubic) form. Alloying elements can adjust this transformation temperature, dividing it into two zones: the alpha transformation zone (below which the alloy remains all alpha) and the beta transformation zone (above which the alloy is all beta). Between these temperatures, both alpha and beta forms coexist. Typical 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 hot extrusion or oblique rolling and piercing processes, followed by multiple cold rolling stages. Throughout manufacturing, seamless tubes maintain continuous perimeters. The process includes: sponge titanium vacuum arc melting, ingot blanking for hollow blanks, cleaning, cutting, hot extrusion or oblique rolling and piercing, degreasing, drying, cutting, online annealing, 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
Discover the superior craftsmanship of Daxun's ASTM B338 Grade 2 titanium welded pipe. Engineered from annealed flat-rolled steel plate or steel strip, this pipe is produced using the precision-driven automatic arc welding (TIG) process. Our meticulous production stages include: titanium plate uncoiling, shearing, butt welding, cleaning, pipe forming, TIG welding, eddy current testing, pre-sizing, annealing, precision reducing, sizing, straightening, eddy current testing, caliper marking, cutting, ultrasonic testing, hydrostatic testing, final inspection, and packaging. Each welded pipe undergoes essential stress relief heat treatment post forming and welding. At Daxun, we ensure the integrity of the welding process without using any filler materials.

The DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5, designed for those demanding the highest quality, proves to be a challenge to form at room temperature, even after annealing. However, severe forming tasks such as bending or stretching are achievable on the annealed material at temperatures reaching up to 1,200°F (649°C) without altering its mechanical properties.

Weldability The DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5, is highly weldable, whether in the annealed or solution and partially aged conditions. Post-weld aging further enhances its properties.
To maintain the tube's superior quality, it is essential to avoid contamination from oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. Fusion welding should be performed in an inert gas-filled chamber or with an inert gas tail shield to protect the molten metal and nearby hot zones. Spot welding, seam welding, and flash welding can also be executed successfully without a protective atmosphere.
Special Considerations For optimal performance of the DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5, precautions are necessary to prevent contamination by hydrogen during improper pickling and the absorption of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon during forging, heat treating, brazing, and similar processes. Such contamination can degrade ductility and adversely affect notch sensitivity and formability.
