Grade 2 Titanium, also known as Titanium CP-2 (Commercially Pure Grade 2), is one of the most common grades of titanium used in various applications. Here are some key features and uses:
① Composition: Essentially pure titanium with a small amount of oxygen (up to 0.25%) and other trace elements.
② Strength: Moderate strength (lower than Grades 3 and 4 but higher than Grade 1).
③ Density: Approximately 4.51 g/cm³.
④ Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to a wide range of corrosive environments.
⑤ Weldability: Excellent weldability.
⑥ Ductility: Good ductility, making it easier to form and fabricate.
① Aerospace: Used in aircraft frames, jet engines, and other aerospace components due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion.
② Chemical Processing: Utilized in chemical processing plants for tanks, pipes, and heat exchangers due to its resistance to corrosion.
③ Marine: Employed in marine applications for shipbuilding, offshore structures, and desalination plants due to its resistance to seawater corrosion.
④ Medical: Used in medical implants and devices due to its biocompatibility.
⑤ Industrial: Applied in various industrial applications where strong, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant materials are required.
Grade 2 Titanium strikes a balance between strength, formability, and corrosion resistance, making it versatile for many engineering and industrial applications.
