Ti  and Ti Alloy Extruded  Profiles

Titanium and titanium alloy extruded profiles

Titanium and titanium alloy extruded profiles are manufactured using various grades of titanium alloys, each with specific properties suitable for different applications. Here are some commonly used titanium alloy grades for manufacturing extruded profiles:

Grade 1 (Ti-CP): This commercially pure titanium grade offers excellent corrosion resistance, high ductility, and good formability. Grade 1 titanium extruded profiles are used in applications such as architectural structures, chemical processing equipment, and marine components.

Grade 2 (Ti-CP): Similar to Grade 1, Grade 2 titanium extruded profiles are commercially pure and exhibit excellent corrosion resistance. They find applications in industries such as chemical processing, power generation, and marine equipment.

Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V): This is one of the most widely used titanium alloy grades for extruded profiles. Grade 5 titanium extrusions offer a balance of high strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight. They are commonly used in aerospace, automotive, and marine industries, as well as in medical implants and sporting equipment.

Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V): This titanium alloy grade provides a combination of strength, formability, and weldability. Grade 9 titanium extruded profiles find applications in aerospace, marine, chemical processing, and automotive industries.

Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI): This is a medical-grade titanium alloy with low interstitial elements (Extra Low Interstitials or ELI). Grade 23 titanium extruded profiles are commonly used in medical implants, including orthopedic devices and dental components.

These are just a few examples of titanium alloy grades used for manufacturing extruded profiles. The specific grade chosen depends on the required properties of the final product, such as strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Titanium and its alloys are widely utilized in industries such as aerospace, automotive, chemical processing, and medical, where the combination of properties offered by titanium alloys is advantageous for extruded profile applications. Some specific uses include structural components, heat exchangers, frames, and tubing.
