Grade 1 Titanium is a commercially pure titanium alloy, known for its excellent corrosion resistance, high ductility, and good formability. Here are some key characteristics and typical applications of Grade 1 Titanium:

Ⅰ. Key Characteristics

① Purity: Grade 1 Titanium is the purest form of titanium with a minimum of 99.5% titanium content.

② Corrosion Resistance: Exceptional resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments, including seawater and industrial chemicals.

③ Ductility: High ductility makes it easy to form and shape.

④ Strength: Although it has the lowest strength compared to other titanium grades, it still provides adequate strength for many applications.

⑤ Weldability: Excellent weldability, making it suitable for various fabrication processes.

⑥ Biocompatibility: Non-toxic and biocompatible, making it suitable for medical and dental implants.

Ⅱ. Typical Applications

① Chemical Processing: Used in equipment such as heat exchangers, reaction vessels, and piping systems due to its corrosion resistance.

② Marine Applications: Ideal for seawater applications including boat fittings, marine hardware, and desalination plants.

③ Medical and Dental: Used for implants, surgical instruments, and dental fixtures due to its biocompatibility.

④ Aerospace: Employed in aircraft and spacecraft components where corrosion resistance and weight reduction are critical.

⑤ Energy Production: Utilized in the production and storage of energy, particularly in the oil and gas industry.

⑥ Consumer Goods: Found in high-end sporting goods, eyewear, and jewelry.

Ⅲ. Physical and Mechanical Properties

① Density: Approximately 4.51 g/cm³

② Tensile Strength: Around 240 MPa (35 ksi)

③ Yield Strength: Approximately 170 MPa (25 ksi)

④ Elongation: About 24% in 2 inches

⑤ Modulus of Elasticity: 105 GPa (15.2 Msi)

Grade 1 Titanium is favored in applications where corrosion resistance, ease of fabrication, and good ductility are important considerations.
