How to quickly buy titanium materialsBasic knowledge of titanium and titanium alloys

Titanium and Titanium alloys is a popular materials for Aerospace

manufacturing, Chemical industries, Oil & Gas industries, Petroleum

industries, Shipbuilding, implant materials & medical device for medical

industry and other kind of industries. All because of its low density,

high hardness/strength, excellent corrosion resistance and non-

magnetic.

1. Common shape:

Bars / wires / rods

plates / sheets / foils

tubes / pipes 

pipe fittings: elbow, tee, reducer, flange

forges

fasteners: nuts / bolts / screws / washers

custom design parts

2. kinds of the materials

Pure titanium and titanium alloys

Common Pure titanium materials is GR1 GR2 GR3 

Common titanium alloy materials is GR5 GR7 GR9

3. Titanium Produce Standard

ASTM B265 Titanium and titanium alloy strip, sheet and plate

ASTM B348 Titanium and titanium alloy bar and billets.

ASTM B337 Titanium and titanium alloy pipe

ASTM B338 Titanium and titanium alloy tubes for Condensers and

Heat exchangers

ASTM B861 Titanium and titanium alloy Seamless Pipe

ASTM B862 Titanium and titanium alloy welded Pipe

ASTM F136 Wrought Titanium 6Al-4V ELI Alloy for Surgical Implant

Applications

ASTM F67 Unalloyed Titanium, for Surgical Implant Applications

AMS 4911 Titanium alloy strip, sheet and plate. 6AL-4V

AMS 4928 Titanium alloy bars, wires, forgings, rings, and drawn

shapes. 6AL-4V

3. characteristic of titanium materials

a. corrosion resistance, so, this materials is widely used in chemical

industry and water desalination and shipbuilding industry (except

oxalate)

b. low density with high strength. density of titanium is 4.51, and

density of stainless steel is 7.8. this feature make titanium materials

widely used in aerospace manufacturing.

c. non-toxic and non-magnetic. strong affability with body, so it is

widely used in medical industry, such as medical device and implant

materials.

4. how to express 

Bars: OD X Length

Plates: thickness x width x length

Tube: OD X ID X Length

5. how to calculate weight

Bars: π x r x r x ρ x L/1000000 kg

Plate: width x length x thickness x ρ/1000000 kg

Tube: (OD-TK)XTKX ρXπxL/1000000 kg

So, if you want buy or import titanium materials from other

company, you need show supplier detailed, such as materials,

specifications, quantities, for example, I need a gr2 bars, its

diameter is 10mm and length is 1000mm, and I need 100kg. so this

is very clear to supplier, and you will get your price very quickly.
