Commercially pure titanium (CP) and titanium alloys offer a unique balance of strength, weight, and corrosion resistance. Developed in the 1950s for defense and aerospace applications, titanium alloys offer a high strength-to-weight ratio while bridging the performance gap between steel and aluminum. Over the years, increased production has reduced the cost of these materials, enabling their widespread use across a wide range of industries.
CP titanium alloy, Ti 6Al-4V, Ti 6Al-4V ELI, Ti-Pd, and grade 12 titanium alloys are the most commonly used titanium alloys in industry; however, GNEE also offers other grades in limited supply for more specialized applications.
Through innovation across diverse market sectors, titanium alloys have found widespread application in a variety of applications, including satellites, electroplating racks, cryogenic storage vessels, brine conversion units, wet chlorine gas pipelines, seawater pumps, pulp and paper, aircraft, high-current superconductors, and offshore drilling equipment. They are also used in consumer goods such as yachts, jewelry, eyeglass frames, and golf clubs. Titanium remains the material of choice for implants in the medical and dental industries, pacemakers, and hip and knee replacements.

Grade 12 titanium is also very near pure with some molybdenum and nickel added. This alloy offers slightly improved strength and optimum ASME Code design. Ti Grade 12 is readily weldable and has superior crevice corrosion resistance.

Mechanical Properties

Other Properties

Titanium and its alloys are at least as strong in compression as in tension. They are 60 percent as strong in shear as in tension. The hardness of CP titanium ranges from less than 120 Bhn to 300 Bhn. The tensile modulus of elasticity is about 14.9 x 106 psi and the shear modulus is 6.5 x 106 psi. The impact resistance and fracture toughness of titanium and its alloys are inversely affected by increased strength levels and interstitial content. In fatigue situations, the normal endurance limit of these materials is about .5 to .65 multiplied by the ultimate tensile strength for unnotched elements. Corners, notches, holes, rough surfaces and other discontinuities reduce fatigue resistance considerably.

An allotropic change from HCP to BCC and the pickup of interstitial gases limit the high temperature applications of titanium. For short-time service, such as fire walls, titanium is useful to 2000 F, but for long-time service, the upper limit for titanium in hot air is about 1000 F. The thermal conductivity of titanium is in the range of 9.5 Btu/ht/ft2/F/ft, which is similar to that of austenitic stainless steels. The electrical resistivity of titanium is 48-60 microhm-cm at room temperature and increases with temperature reaching 135-145 microhm-cm between 1000 and 1400 F.

Titanium's corrosion resistance results from a very thin (~10nm), stable, continuous oxide layer that regenerates instantaneously if any oxygen or moisture is present.
