Titanium Seamless Tube & Pipe Grade 2 Titanium Tubing to Chemical Processing Plants

Introduction of Titanium Tube Grade 2:

Titanium Seamless Tube Grade 2 is a commercially pure titanium alloy known for its excellent corrosion resistance, formability, and weldability.

Here’s an introduction to Titanium Seamless Tube Grade 2:

Composition: Grade 2 titanium consists primarily of titanium (around 99% pure) with small amounts of oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, iron, and traces of other elements. It does not contain alloying elements such as aluminum or vanadium.

Corrosion Resistance: Grade 2 titanium exhibits superb corrosion resistance in a wide range of environments, including seawater, chlorides, and acids. This property makes it highly suitable for applications where protection against corrosion is critical, such as chemical processing, marine environments, and medical implants.

Strength and Ductility: Grade 2 titanium has good strength comparable to some steels but is much less dense. It offers excellent ductility and toughness, allowing it to be formed and fabricated easily into various shapes and sizes.

Weldability and Fabrication: Titanium Seamless Tube Grade 2 is readily weldable using standard techniques for titanium and its alloys. It can be seamlessly formed into tubes through processes like extrusion or cold drawing, ensuring consistent dimensions and mechanical properties.

Biocompatibility: Due to its purity and lack of alloying elements, Grade 2 titanium is biocompatible and widely used in medical applications. It is often used for surgical implants, prosthetics, orthopedic devices, and dental instruments where it interacts safely with human tissues.

Heat Resistance: Grade 2 titanium maintains its properties at moderate temperatures and is suitable for applications involving heat transfer and thermal processing equipment.
