We provide an extensive list of metals and metal products. People need these essential items for an extensive array of applications. Fortunately, we’re here to offer titanium round bar grade 7 and grade 9, as well as many other materials. We’ll be able to do so quickly as well.
Titanium is the world’s 9th most common element. You find it in metamorphic and igneous rock formations, as well as their derived alluvial deposits. After magnesium, iron, and aluminium, it is the 4th most common structural element. Titanium comprises 0.66% of the planet’s crust.
A mere 5% of titanium ore becomes metal. This sees considerable use in the automotive, chemical processing, and aerospace industries. Here, the metal’s properties come into their own. This includes corrosion resistance as well as high strength with low density.
As for the other 95%, we use it to manufacture brilliant white titanium oxide pigment. The colour originates from the high refractive index. You will see it used in everything from the sprinkling on doughnuts to sun cream.
Titanium’s reactivity
Due to how reactive titanium is, it’s expensive to process into a pure end product. But, the mechanical and physical attributes make it one of our most exciting metals. It has the same strength as steel while being 45% lighter. Also, it is 60% heavier than aluminium but possesses twice the strength. Together with its fantastic corrosion resistance, you can use it in some of the world’s most demanding engineering projects.
There are various titanium grades in existence, which can make choosing them tricky. Let’s have a quick look at grade 7 and grade 9 so you know what to expect when you choose titanium round bar.
Grade 7 has mechanical and physical characteristics equal to CP3 titanium or grade 2. The fabrication and welding features are exceptional. Also, it can resist corrosion, particularly from reducing acids. Applications include power generation, desalination, and chemical processing.
With titanium grade 9, it comes with medium strength that lies between grades 4 and 5. The corrosion resistance here is great too. Furthermore, you can use it at higher temperatures than grades 1 to 4. It specifically has decent cold rolling features as well. The applications you can use it for include transportation, medial, marine, and consumer products.
