Titanium Grade 2 Wire ASTM B863

Titanium wire combines low density, high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and good ductility. It is widely used in chemical processing, welding, electroplating, water treatment, fastening, medical applications, and other industries.

Commercially pure titanium grades such as Gr1 and Gr2 are commonly selected for applications requiring corrosion resistance and good formability. Titanium alloy grades such as Gr5, Gr9, Gr12, and Gr23 provide higher strength or enhanced performance for specific applications.

Titanium wire is available in coils or straight lengths and can be supplied according to customer requirements.

Titanium Wire for Welding

Titanium welding wire is used as filler metal for TIG and other suitable welding processes.

Straight titanium welding rods can be supplied in standard or customized lengths, while small-diameter titanium wire can also be supplied in coils.

Common applications include welding and fabrication of:

Titanium tanks

Titanium heat exchangers

Titanium piping

Titanium vessels

Titanium equipment

Chemical processing equipment

The appropriate titanium grade should be selected according to the base material and welding requirements.

Key Properties

Titanium wire offers a combination of:

Excellent corrosion resistance

Low density and light weight

High strength-to-weight ratio

Good ductility

Good fatigue resistance

Good weldability for suitable grades and conditions

Stable performance in many chemical environments

Good performance at elevated and low temperatures

Gr1 and Gr2 titanium wire are particularly suitable when corrosion resistance and formability are the primary requirements.

Mechanical Properties

Typical mechanical properties vary according to titanium grade, product condition, and applicable specification. The following values can be used as a general reference:

Grade	Tensile Strength, MPa	Yield Strength, MPa	Elongation, %
Gr1	≥240	≥170	≥24
Gr2	≥345	≥275	≥20
Gr4	≥550	≥483	≥15
Gr5	≥895	≥828	≥10
Gr7	≥400	≥275	≥18
Gr9	≥620	≥483	≥15
Gr12	≥483	≥348	≥18
Gr23	≥793	≥759	≥10

Actual mechanical properties should be confirmed according to the applicable material standard and supplied product condition.

Applications

1. Chemical Processing

Gr1 and Gr2 titanium wires are widely used in chemical environments because of their excellent corrosion resistance.

They can be used for:

Titanium mesh

Chemical filters

Fasteners

Tying and fixing components

Equipment components

Corrosion-resistant structures

2. Electroplating and Water Treatment

Titanium wire and titanium alloy wire can be used to manufacture or assemble:

Electroplating baskets

Electrode structures

Titanium mesh

Water-treatment electrodes

Electrochemical components

Cathodic protection components

Titanium wire is particularly useful where corrosion resistance and long service life are required in electrolytic environments.

3. Titanium Fasteners and Components

Titanium wire can be processed into various small components, including:

Fasteners

Springs

Clips

Pins

Ties

Custom formed parts

Titanium's low density and high strength-to-weight ratio make it suitable for applications where weight reduction is important.

4. Medical Applications

Selected titanium and titanium alloy grades are used in medical and dental applications because of their biocompatibility and corrosion resistance.

Applications may include:

Medical wires

Dental components

Orthopedic devices

Surgical components

Implant-related components

Medical applications require appropriate material certification, processing, and regulatory compliance.

5. Shape Memory Titanium Alloys

Special titanium alloys such as nickel-titanium (NiTi) have shape-memory and superelastic properties.

NiTi wire is widely used in applications such as:

Medical devices

Orthodontic products

Eyeglass frames

Actuators

Precision components

These applications are different from conventional commercially pure titanium wire and require specialized NiTi alloy processing.

Titanium Wire for Electrochemical Applications

Titanium wire can be used as a structural or conductive component in electrochemical systems.

Depending on the application, it may be supplied as:

Plain titanium wire

Titanium wire mesh

MMO-coated titanium wire

Customized titanium electrode assemblies

For electrochemical applications, factors such as titanium grade, wire diameter, electrolyte composition, current density, operating temperature, and electrode coating should be considered when selecting the material.
