1. What is Titanium Plate?
Titanium Plate is a flat, thick titanium product manufactured from commercially pure titanium or titanium alloys. It combines low density with excellent strength and corrosion resistance.
2. What is the most common titanium plate grade?
Grade 2 is one of the most commonly used commercially pure titanium grades because it offers an excellent combination of corrosion resistance, strength, formability, and weldability.
Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) is one of the most widely used titanium alloys when higher strength is required.
3. What is the difference between Grade 2 and Grade 5 Titanium Plate?
Grade 2 is commercially pure titanium and provides excellent corrosion resistance and fabrication characteristics. Grade 5 is an alpha-beta titanium alloy containing aluminum and vanadium and provides substantially higher strength.
4. What applications use Titanium Plate?
Titanium plate is commonly used in aerospace, defense, chemical processing, marine, medical, energy, semiconductor, and industrial applications.
5. Can Titanium Plate be welded?
Yes. Titanium can be welded using appropriate procedures and controlled environments. Proper shielding is particularly important to prevent atmospheric contamination during welding.
6. What thicknesses are available?
REG Metals can supply titanium plate in a wide range of thicknesses, from relatively thin plate to heavy sections. Custom thicknesses and cut-to-size dimensions are available.
