Titanium Grade 1

Titanium Grade 1 is the purest form of titanium, characterized by excellent corrosion resistance, high formability, and very good weldability.

Titanium Grade 1 it is an unalloyed titanium, known for its optimal ductility and high cold workability. This material offers high impact toughness while remaining easy to weld. Due to its outstanding resistance to corrosion in various acidic and alkaline environments, Titanium Grade 1 is ideal for use in piping, heat exchangers, and other components exposed to corrosive substances. Being a lightweight yet robust material, Titanium Grade 1 provides long service life and is versatile in machining. It is the ideal choice for applications that require a combination of malleability, corrosion resistance, and durability.

Applications include:

• Chemical industry, due to excellent corrosion resistance
• Dentistry, for the production of molds
• Naval industry, where exposure to aggressive environments requires durable materials
• Aerospace industry, where high formability is an advantage in component manufacturing
