Chemical Properties
Grade 1 Titanium Bar exhibits exceptional resistance to various corrosive environments:
- Acids and Alkalis: Strong resistance to dilute acids like sulfuric and hydrochloric; excellent resistance to alkalis; moderate resistance to concentrated acids.
- Seawater: Superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion in marine environments, ideal for Grade 1 titanium industrial bar in shipbuilding.
- Environmental Limits: Performs best in oxidizing conditions; may experience reduced corrosion resistance in highly reducing environments without proper surface treatment.
Things to Note (Limitations)
- Low Strength: Lower strength compared to alloyed titanium grades like Grade 5; not suitable for high-stress structural applications.
- High-Temperature Limits: Above 400°C, strength decreases significantly; not recommended for high-temperature applications.
- Reducing Acids: Limited resistance to hot concentrated reducing acids; protective coatings may be required in such conditions.
- Machining Challenges: Can be prone to galling; requires low speeds, sharp tools, and proper cooling during machining.
Corrosion Data
| Environment | Corrosion Rate (mm/year) | Conditions | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stagnant Seawater | <0.001 | 25°C, 12 months exposure | No pitting observed |
| 5% Sulfuric Acid | 0.01 | 30°C, 3 months exposure | Good resistance in dilute solutions |
| 5% Hydrochloric Acid | 0.03 | 25°C, 1 month exposure | Moderate resistance |
| Atmospheric (Coastal, Humid) | <0.001 | 25°C, 12 months exposure | Excellent resistance |
| 5% Sodium Hydroxide (Alkaline) | <0.002 | 40°C, 3 months exposure | Excellent resistance |
| 5% Nitric Acid | <0.001 | 30°C, 3 months exposure | Superior resistance |
Welding and Manufacturing Tips
- Welding: Use TIG welding with pure argon shielding to prevent contamination; filler metals like ERTi-1 are recommended. Weld in a clean environment to avoid embrittlement.
- Forming: Highly formable due to excellent ductility; can be cold or hot formed; hot forming should be done between 400°C and 600°C.
- Machining: Use low cutting speeds, high feed rates, and abundant coolant; suitable for producing Grade 1 titanium round bar but requires care to avoid galling.
- Heat Treatment: Annealing at 600–700°C followed by air cooling can relieve stresses and improve ductility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What makes Grade 1 Titanium Alloy Rod different from Grade 2 titanium?
A: Grade 1 Titanium Alloy Rod has lower oxygen content, offering higher ductility and better formability than Grade 2, while maintaining similar corrosion resistance. It’s ideal for applications requiring extensive shaping over Grade 2’s slightly higher strength.
Q2: Is Grade 1 Titanium Bar suitable for cryogenic applications?
A: Yes, Grade 1 Titanium Bar retains its ductility and toughness at cryogenic temperatures, making it suitable for applications like cryogenic storage tanks or low-temperature piping systems.
Q3: How does Titanium Rod perform in acidic environments compared to stainless steel?
A: Titanium Rod offers superior resistance to dilute acids and seawater compared to most stainless steels, which may pit or corrode in similar conditions, making it a better choice for chemical and marine applications.
Q4: Can Grade 1 Titanium Alloy Rod be customized for specific industrial needs?
A: Absolutely, we offer tailored solutions such as custom diameters, lengths, and finishes for Grade 1 Titanium Alloy Rod to meet your exact specifications. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
Q5: What certifications come with Grade 1 Titanium Bar purchases?
A: Our Grade 1 Titanium Bar complies with standards like ASTM B348 and ASTM F67. We provide material test certificates (MTC) with every order and can accommodate additional certifications upon request.
Q6: Why choose Grade 1 Titanium Alloy Rod over aluminum for lightweight applications?
