GR1 GR2 Titanium Plate Pickled Sand Blasted

GR1 GR2 Titanium Plate Pickled Sand Blasted

GR1 and GR2 pure titanium plate is a cold rolled, annealed flat product finished with pickling and sand blasting, so the surface is uniform and free from scale. The plate is produced to ASTM B265 as well as ASTM F67 and ASTM F136, and also to the Chinese standards GB/T 3621 and GB/T 13810. Titanium keeps the natural character of the metal: it is light in weight, high in strength, rich in metallic luster, and it resists corrosion far better than stainless steel in moisture laden air and sea water. Thickness runs from 0.5 mm to 80 mm, width from 1000 mm to 2000 mm and length from 1000 mm to 6000 mm, and the plate can be sheared, bent or machined to the customer drawing.

Material Properties

Three properties make the plate useful. First, the strength to density ratio is better than that of most other metals, so a part can be made strong and rigid with less weight, which is why titanium serves in aircraft and aerospace engine components, frames, skins and landing gear. Second, corrosion resistance is excellent: titanium greatly resists pitting, acid and stress corrosion in sea water, alkali, chloride, chlorinated organic substances, sulphuric acid and nitric acid. Third, heat resistance is good, and the plate can work for a long period at 450 to 500 C while keeping high strength over the 150 to 500 C range.

Applications

The pickled and sand blasted finish is chosen where a clean, matte surface is wanted. Typical uses include heat exchanger plates, chemical processing vessels and pipe work, desalination plant, electroplating racks, medical and dental components and aircraft structural parts. Plate is packed in a plywood box with soft foam between the sheets so that the finish arrives unmarked, and a material test certificate can be supplied with each batch.
