Titanium rod is a cylindrical strip made of pure titanium or titanium alloy. It is widely used in many fields because of its excellent corrosion resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio and biocompatibility. The specific specifications, application and performance parameters of titanium rods vary according to different industry standards and use requirements, and common specifications include diameter, length and material grade specified according to different standards (such as ASTM, AMS).

Medical field: Used in the production of medical devices, implants, such as prosthetics, bone fixation nails, etc., thanks to its good biocompatibility and non-toxic properties.
•
Chemical industry: As a component of reaction kettle and heat exchanger, corrosion resistance enables it to work in acid and alkali environment for a long time.
•
Aerospace: Used in aircraft engine parts, rocket structural parts, etc., using its light and high strength characteristics to reduce weight and increase load.
•
Marine engineering: Manufacturing ship parts, submarine pipelines, excellent seawater corrosion resistance makes titanium rods an ideal choice.

The grade of titanium rod is usually divided according to its alloy composition and use, the following are some common titanium alloy grades and a brief description:


Pure titanium:
•
Gr.1, Gr.2: corresponding to ASTM B348 Grade 1 and Grade 2 respectively, suitable for general corrosion environment, Gr.2 strength is slightly higher than Gr.1.

Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5):
•
One of the most widely used titanium alloys, with good comprehensive properties, including high strength, corrosion resistance and good weldability, suitable for aerospace, medical implants and other fields.

Ti-3Al-2.5V (Grade 9):
•
It has good corrosion resistance and low temperature toughness, and is suitable for offshore oil platforms, submarine components, etc.

Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Extra Low Interstitials):
•
Designed to improve crack resistance and scalability, it is suitable for medical implants with high toughness requirements.

Ti-0.3Mo-0.8Ni (Beta C):
•
A β-type titanium alloy with good cold working performance and high strength.

CP Ti (Commercially Pure Titanium):
•
It includes the above Gr.1 to Gr.4, of which Gr.4 has the highest strength and is suitable for applications requiring higher mechanical properties.
Each grade has its specific chemical composition ratio and corresponding performance characteristics, and the selection of the appropriate grade needs to be determined according to the needs of the specific application.
