What Is Titanium CP1?
May 14, 2026
What Is Titanium CP1?
Unalloyed titanium Grade 1 offering optimum ductility and cold formability with useful strength, high impact toughness, and excellent weldability. Titanium CP1 is well known for its highly corrosion resistant property in oxidizing and mildly reducing environments, such as chlorides.
GR1 titanium is a single phase material, thus the microstructure of the alpha phase is not affected greatly by either thermal treatments or welding temperatures. As a result, the mechanical properties of a correctly welded joint are equal to or exceeding the properties of the parent metal and exhibit good ductility.
WR NR. 3.7025 Titanium Gr 1 material is available in many forms including GR1 titanium pipe, GR1 titanium tube, bar, billet, ingot, extrusions, plate, sheet, strip, wire, and forging.

Where Is GR1 Titanium Pipe Used?
Typical applications of GR1 titanium pipe include corrosion resistance in the chemical industry, marine industries, and airframe construction where maximum ease of formability is desired.
GR1 titanium for chemical processing is a common specification for heat exchanger tubing and reactor components. GR1 titanium tube is widely used in marine piping systems due to its seawater corrosion resistance. GR1 titanium heat exchanger tubes are often supplied to ASTM B338.

FAQ
Q1: What is the UNS number for ASTM B338 grade 1 titanium pipe?
A: The UNS number for ASTM B338 grade 1 titanium pipe is R50250. This UNS designation is recognized globally for GR1 titanium pipe and is required on mill test certificates. Buyers should always verify that the UNS number matches R50250 when purchasing GR1 titanium tube.
Q2: What is the WERKSTOFF NR. equivalent for GR1 titanium tube?
A: The WERKSTOFF NR. equivalent for GR1 titanium tube is 3.7025. This German standard designation is commonly used in European specifications. When ordering GR1 titanium pipe for European projects, specifying 3.7025 ensures compliance with DIN standards.
Q3: What is the maximum oxygen content in ASTM B861 grade 1 titanium tube?
A: The maximum oxygen content in ASTM B861 grade 1 titanium tube is 0.18%. This low oxygen limit is what gives GR1 titanium its high ductility and excellent formability. By comparison, GR2 titanium allows 0.25% oxygen maximum.
Q4: Does GR1 titanium pipe require post-weld heat treatment?
A: No, GR1 titanium pipe does not require post-weld heat treatment for most applications. Because GR1 titanium is a single phase alpha material, the microstructure is not significantly affected by welding temperatures. A correctly welded joint in GR1 titanium tube will have mechanical properties equal to or exceeding the parent metal without any post-weld heat treatment.
Q5: What is the density of titanium grade 1 pipe in g/cm³?
A: The density of titanium grade 1 pipe is 4.506 g/cm³. This low density is approximately 56% of steel's density. When comparing GR1 titanium pipe to stainless steel pipe of the same dimensions, GR1 titanium pipe weighs less than half as much.
Q6: What is the melting point of ASTM B862 GR1 titanium welded tube?
A: The melting point of ASTM B862 GR1 titanium welded tube is 1670°C (3038°F). This high melting point makes GR1 titanium suitable for high temperature applications up to approximately 360°C. However, oxidation becomes a concern above 400°C even though the material does not melt until 1670°C.
Q7: Is GR1 titanium pipe suitable for marine environments?
A: Yes, GR1 titanium pipe is highly suitable for marine environments. GR1 titanium is well known for its excellent corrosion resistance in seawater and chlorides. Many GR1 titanium tube applications are in offshore platforms, shipboard systems, and desalination plants where saltwater corrosion is a major concern.
Q8: What forms of GR1 titanium tube are available from GNEE?
A: GNEE offer GR1 titanium tube in multiple forms including seamless pipe (ASTM B338), seamless tube (ASTM B861), and welded tube (ASTM B862). GR1 titanium tube manufacturers can also supply customized GR1 titanium tube with non-standard diameters, wall thicknesses, or lengths. GR1 titanium tube in stock is typically available in standard imperial and metric sizes from major GR1 titanium tube factory warehouses.
