Titanium Round Bar Grades and Applications

Our titanium round bars are available in commercially pure Grades 1–4 and alloy Grades 5, 6, 7, 9, and 23. Each grade provides specific combinations of strength, corrosion resistance, ductility, temperature performance, and biocompatibility for aerospace, medical, marine, automotive, and chemical-processing applications.

Commercially Pure (CP) Titanium Grades (Grades 1–4)

These grades contain only trace amounts of alloying elements, making them highly corrosion-resistant and formable.
  • Grade 1 – Softest and most ductile, excellent corrosion resistance, used in chemical processing and marine applications.
  • Grade 2 – The most commonly used CP titanium, offers a good balance of strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance.
  • Grade 3 – Stronger than Grades 1 and 2, but slightly less formable; used in aerospace and industrial applications.
  • Grade 4 – Highest strength among CP titanium grades, ideal for medical implants and industrial applications.

Titanium Alloys (Grades 5 and Beyond)

These contain additional elements like aluminum and vanadium for enhanced strength and performance.
  • Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) – The most widely used titanium alloy, combining high strength, corrosion resistance, and good weldability; used in aerospace, medical, and automotive industries.
  • Grade 6 (Ti-5Al-2.5Sn) – Used in high-temperature environments, such as jet engines and aerospace applications.
  • Grade 7 (Ti-0.2Pd) – Similar to Grade 2 but with added palladium for superior corrosion resistance, used in chemical processing.
  • Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V) – Lower strength than Grade 5 but more formable, commonly used for bicycle frames and sports equipment.
  • Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) – Extra-low interstitial version of Grade 5, providing improved toughness and biocompatibility for medical implants.

Titanium Round Stock for Industrial Applications

Our titanium round stock, including bars and rods, is available in multiple commercially pure and alloy grades. Grade selection depends on required strength, corrosion resistance, machinability, temperature performance, and biocompatibility for aerospace, medical, marine, automotive, and chemical-processing applications.
