Titanium Based Alloys
Titanium and its alloys are useful engineering materials because of their excellent resistance to corrosion in oxidizing environments and / or high strength to weight ratio. They also offer resistance to erosion by flowing solutions with entrained solids and good heat transfer characteristics.

| GRADE | MAJOR APPLICATIONS | AVAILABILITY | COMPOSITION | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TI GRADE 12 UNS R53400 | Grade 12 is a highly weldable and fabricable alloy offering improved strength and pressure vessel code allowances compared to Grade 2. It also has corrosion resistance advantages. | Imported; ex-stock or mill availability. | 98.5Ti - 0.3Mo - 0.8Ni (controlled interstitials) | |
| TI GRADE 16 UNS R52402 | A lower cost, leaner Pd version of Grade 7 with equivalent mechanical and physical properties and corrosion resistance between that of Grades 7 and 2. | Imported; ex-stock (limited) or mill availability. | 99.5Ti - 0.05Pd (controlled interstitials) | |
| TI GRADE 2 UNS R50400 | Moderate strength unalloyed grade of titanium with excellent weldability, cold formability and fabricability; "workhorse" grade for industrial service. It displays excellent resistance to a wide range of conditions ranging from mildly reducing to highly oxidising. | Selected items from stock; or imports from stock or mill availability. | 99.5Ti - 0.03N - 0.30Fe - 0.25 O | |
| TI GRADE 4 UNS R50700 | Much stronger version of Grade 2 as a result of the higher level of interstitial elements. It has reasonable weldability but reduced ductility and formability. Widely used for plating and anodising jigs and fixtures. | Imported; ex-stock (limited) or mill availability. | 99.3Ti - 0.05N - 0.50Fe - 0.40 O | |
| TI GRADE 5 UNS R56400 | Heat treatable, high strength, most commercially available titanium grade for use up to 400 deg c.- "workhorse" grade for the aerospace industry. Offers excellent combination of strength, toughness and ductility along with good weldability and fabricability. Grade 23 is a variant having extra low interstitial elements and thus improved ductility and fracture toughness. | Imported; ex-stock or mill availability. | 89.3Ti - 6Al - 4V - 0.05N - 0.40Fe - 0.20 | |
| TI GRADE 7 UNS R52400 | The titanium alloy most resistant to corrosion in reducing acids and to localised attack in hot halide media. It has physical and mechanical properties equivalent to Grade 2 and excellent weldability / fabricability. | Imported; ex-stock or mill availability. | 99.3Ti - 0.2Pd - 0.03N - 0.30Fe - 0.25O |
