Titanium Grade 2
UNS R50400 · ASTM B381 F-2
The most common commercially pure titanium grade for fabricated corrosion-resistant equipment, balancing formability, weldability, and useful strength.
Titanium Grade 7
UNS R52400 · Palladium-alloyed commercially pure titanium
A palladium-alloyed commercially pure titanium grade considered where Grade 2 needs improved corrosion performance in selected reducing environments.
Titanium Grade 12
UNS R53400 · Ti-Ni-Mo alloy
A titanium-nickel-molybdenum grade offering a different balance of strength and corrosion resistance from commercially pure titanium.
Titanium Grade 5
UNS R56400 · Ti-6Al-4V
A high-strength alpha-beta titanium alloy used extensively in engineered components, but not the default choice for welded chemical-process piping.
Grade 2 is the common commercially pure route; Grade 7 adds palladium for improved performance in selected reducing conditions; Grade 12 uses nickel and molybdenum; Grade 5 is a high-strength alpha-beta alloy and is not automatically interchangeable with commercially pure titanium in process piping.
Procurement comparison
Translate the material name into order data.
The same commercial alloy name can map to different forging, fitting, and casting designations. State the complete material and product-form specification.
| Grade | Selection cue | Typical project context | Procurement control |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanium Grade 2 | Commercially pure titanium | Seawater, chemical processing, heat exchangers, desalination, and selected chloride systems. | Confirm Grade 2 product form, surface condition, iron and interstitial controls, welding cleanliness, PMI, and galvanic design. |
| Titanium Grade 7 | Reducing-condition upgrade | Chemical processing and acid-service equipment after media-specific corrosion review. | State UNS R52400, palladium grade, product-form standard, weld procedure, and the corrosion basis for selection. |
| Titanium Grade 12 | Corrosion plus strength | Process equipment, heat exchangers, piping, and selected hot chloride or mildly reducing environments. | Confirm product availability, forming and welding controls, design allowables, and project corrosion evidence. |
| Titanium Grade 5 | High-strength titanium | High-strength mechanical components and project-specific pressure parts with qualified fabrication. | Check code acceptance, toughness, section size, heat treatment, weldability, and corrosion suitability before specifying. |
Engineering note: This page supports early-stage procurement. The responsible engineer must verify corrosion, pressure, temperature, fabrication, compatibility, and code requirements.

Technical FAQ
Direct answers for early material screening.
Structured for buyers, engineers, search engines, and future answer-engine retrieval.
What is Titanium?
Titanium combines low density with a protective oxide film that performs well in many oxidizing and chloride-bearing environments. It is not universally corrosion-proof: reducing acids, crevices, galvanic couples, temperature, and contamination during fabrication require review.
How do I choose between the listed Titanium grades?
Grade 2 is the common commercially pure route; Grade 7 adds palladium for improved performance in selected reducing conditions; Grade 12 uses nickel and molybdenum; Grade 5 is a high-strength alpha-beta alloy and is not automatically interchangeable with commercially pure titanium in process piping.
Can the same alloy designation be used for flanges, fittings, and valves?
The same alloy family can be used across a pressure system, but the ASTM grade designation can change with product form and manufacturing route. Confirm the forging, wrought-fitting, or casting specification together with the dimensional standard and pressure rating.
What should a Titanium RFQ include?
Include component type, exact grade and UNS where applicable, ASTM product specification, size, schedule or bore, pressure class, facing or end connection, quantity, service conditions, heat treatment, testing, certification, marking, and inspection requirements.
Does the material standard also define flange, fitting, or valve dimensions?
Usually not. The purchase specification normally combines a material standard with a dimensional or pressure-rating standard such as ASME B16.5, B16.9, B16.11, B16.34, an EN or DIN standard, or a project-specific specification.
