TITANIUM GRADE 2 UNS R50400 / DIN 3.7035 / ASTM B265 / AMS 4902

Titanium Grade 2

TITANIUM GRADE 2, also known as UNS R50400 or DIN 3.7035, is a commercially pure titanium with excellent corrosion resistance and good strength. It is specified under ASTM B265 and AMS 4902.

Titanium Grade 2 is known for its balance of strength and ductility, making it ideal for a wide range of applications in the aerospace, chemical, and marine industries. Its purity ensures outstanding resistance to corrosion in harsh environments.

Titanium Grade 2 Sheet | Plate

Titanium Grade 2 sheets and plates are available in various thicknesses and sizes. These materials are used in applications where corrosion resistance and strength are required, such as in chemical processing and aerospace components.

Titanium Grade 2 Round Bar | Rod

Titanium Grade 2 round bars and rods come in different diameters and lengths. They are essential for precision machining and manufacturing components that require good strength and resistance to corrosion.

Titanium Grade 2 Strip | Coil

Available in strips and coils, Titanium Grade 2 is used for flexible applications requiring high strength and corrosion resistance, such as in gasket manufacturing and structural components.

Titanium Grade 2 Applications

  • Utilized for aircraft components, including structural parts and fasteners, due to its good strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion.

Titanium Grade 2 Properties

  • Tensile Strength: Provides a good balance of strength and ductility, with a tensile strength of approximately 345 MPa.
  • Density: About 4.51 g/cm³, offering a favorable strength-to-weight ratio.
  • Thermal Conductivity: Low thermal conductivity, beneficial for applications requiring thermal insulation or stability.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to corrosion in a wide range of environments, including acidic and alkaline conditions.

Machining Titanium Grade 2

  • Cutting: Use carbide tools or high-speed steel for cutting Titanium Grade 2. Techniques like water jet cutting or laser cutting are recommended for precision work.
  • Drilling: Employ carbide or cobalt drills for drilling Titanium Grade 2. Proper cooling and lubrication are essential to maintain tool life and ensure accurate drilling.
  • Turning: Carbide inserts are preferred for turning Titanium Grade 2. Consistent cutting speeds and high-pressure cooling are crucial for achieving optimal results.
  • Milling: Milling operations should use carbide end mills with adequate cooling to manage heat and maintain precision during processing.
  • Grinding: For grinding Titanium Grade 2, use diamond or CBN wheels to achieve precise tolerances and a high-quality surface finish. Adequate cooling is necessary to prevent overheating and maintain dimensional accuracy.
