Titanium

Commercially pure Grades 1, 2, 7, 11 and alloyed Grades 5, 9 and 12 in bar, sheet, plate, pipe, tube, flange, fitting and fastener form — ASTM B265 / B348 / B338 with 3.1 / 3.2 MTC.

Overview

What is titanium?

Titanium is a light, high-strength metal with roughly 60% the density of steel and complete immunity to seawater and chloride corrosion, thanks to a self-repairing titanium dioxide film. Commercially pure Grade 2 (UNS R50400) covers most chemical and marine service, while Ti-6Al-4V Grade 5 (R56400) delivers about 900 MPa tensile strength for aerospace and high-stress components.

Steelco Metal & Alloys stocks titanium in Mumbai in round bar, sheet, plate, seamless and welded pipe, condenser tube, flanges, buttweld fittings and fasteners, in both ASTM and AMS condition. Every dispatch leaves our Mumbai warehouse with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate (3.2 with TUV, SGS, BV, Lloyd's or IRS witness on request), PMI verification and full heat-number traceability.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Answers to the questions our Mumbai desk is asked most often.

What is the difference between Titanium Grade 2 and Grade 5?

+

Grade 2 is commercially pure titanium with about 345 MPa tensile strength, excellent formability and weldability, used for chemical and seawater service. Grade 5 is Ti-6Al-4V, an alpha-beta alloy with roughly 900 MPa tensile strength, used where strength-to-weight matters — aerospace structures, fasteners and high-load components — but it is less formable and needs careful welding.

Is titanium resistant to seawater?

+

Yes, completely. Titanium is immune to seawater corrosion at any velocity and temperature encountered in marine service, does not pit or crevice-corrode in ambient seawater, and needs no corrosion allowance, which is why it is standard for desalination and power plant condenser tubing.

What is UNS R50400?

+

UNS R50400 is Titanium Grade 2, commercially pure titanium with a maximum 0.30% iron and 0.25% oxygen. It is supplied to ASTM B265 (sheet and plate), B348 (bar and billet), B338 (tube) and B381 (forgings and flanges).

Can titanium be welded?

+

Yes, using GTAW or plasma welding with full argon shielding on the face, root and trailing area. Titanium absorbs oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen above about 400 °C, so a clean surface and complete inert-gas coverage are essential — a straw or blue weld colour indicates contamination and should be rejected.
