Description
What is Grade 1 Titanium?
Grade 1 Titanium (also known as titanium CP1 or titanium GR1) is the softest and most ductile of the commercially pure titanium grades (CP-1). It is widely known for its exceptional corrosion resistance in various environments, including marine and industrial atmospheres.
GR1 titanium offers the best formability and is ideal for applications requiring extensive cold forming, bending, and deep drawing. Its high resistance to oxidation and general corrosion makes it particularly suitable for use in chemical processing, desalination plants, and medical industries.
Due to its superior corrosion resistance, titanium grade 1 is also a popular choice for applications in seawater environments and can be found in marine components and desalination systems. In addition, its biocompatibility makes it useful in medical implants and equipment.

FAQ
What Is Grade 1 Titanium?
Grade 1 titanium (also known as titanium GR1 or titanium CP1) is the softest and most ductile of the commercially pure titanium grades, containing 99.5% minimum titanium. It offers exceptional corrosion resistance and excellent formability.
What Does GR1 Titanium Mean?
GR1 is simply the industry abbreviation for Grade 1 titanium. The "GR" stands for "Grade," followed by the grade number – also referred to as titanium GR1.
Titanium Grade 1 vs Grade 2: What's the Difference?
GR1 has lower oxygen content (≤0.18%) than GR2 (≤0.25%), making it softer and more ductile. GR2 offers higher strength, while GR1 provides superior formability and corrosion resistance. This is the key difference between pure titanium GR1 and GR2.
Titanium Grade 1 vs Grade 3: What's the Difference?
Grade 1 titanium has the lowest oxygen content and is the most ductile. Grade 3 titanium has higher oxygen content (≤0.35%), offering increased strength but reduced formability compared to Grade 1.
GR1 vs GR5 Titanium: Which One to Choose?
GR1 is commercially pure titanium – best for corrosion resistance, formability, and welding. GR5 (Ti-6Al-4V) is a titanium alloy – offers higher strength but is less formable. Choose GR1 for forming/bending applications; choose GR5 for high-strength structural applications.
What Is Grade 1 Japanese Titanium?
Grade 1 Japanese titanium refers to GR1 titanium produced in Japan, typically meeting JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) specifications. Japanese titanium is widely recognized for its consistent quality and purity.
Is Grade 1 Titanium Expensive?
Compared to stainless steel or aluminum, yes. However, within the titanium family, GR1 is one of the most affordable grades due to its simpler production process and widespread availability. Contact us for current GR1 titanium price per kg.
Is Grade 1 Titanium Implant Grade?
Yes, GR1 titanium meets ASTM F67 and ISO 5832-2 standards for surgical implant applications. Its biocompatibility and corrosion resistance make it suitable for medical grade 1 titanium implants and surgical instruments.
How Strong Is Grade 1 Titanium?
GR1 titanium has a minimum tensile strength of 240 MPa (35 ksi) and yield strength of 170 MPa (25 ksi). While it is the softest titanium grade, it offers excellent durability for its weight and corrosion resistance.
