Geat benefits are provided by grade 2 titanium round bar for heat exchanger applications. These benefits include great resistance to corrosion, superior thermal conductivity, and amazing lifespan in tough industrial conditions. The use of this commercially pure titanium material offers manufacturers an appropriate choice for chemical processing, maritime, and power generation systems, all of which are areas in which standard materials are unable to match the performance criteria. Because of its one-of-a-kind characteristics, Grade 2 titanium round bar is the material of choice for engineers who are looking for heat transfer solutions that are dependable, cost-effective, and maintain their efficiency over lengthy service periods.
Key Parameters and Performance Indicators of Grade 2 Titanium Round Bars
Engineers are able to make more educated decisions about the selection of materials when they have a thorough understanding of the technical standards. Round bars made of grade 2 titanium are manufactured in accordance with the standards of ASTM B348, ASTM F67, and ASTM F136. Their diameters can range anywhere from 6mm to 350mm according to the specifications. The material has a yield strength that ranges from 275 to 380 MPa and a tensile strength that operates between 345 and 450 MPa.
The circular bar made of Grade 2 titanium has a density of 4.51 grams per cubic centimeter, making it substantially lighter than its steel counterparts. As a result of this reduction in weight, the requirements for structural support are lowered, which in turn results in lower transportation costs. The thermal conductivity reaches a value of 17 W/m·K, while the coefficient of thermal expansion remains consistent at 8.6 × 10⁻⁴ with respect to the temperature.
When it comes to performance qualities, chemical composition is a very important factor. The parameters of grade 2 titanium round bars include maximum permitted levels of 0.25% iron, 0.10% carbon, 0.03% nitrogen, and 0.015% hydrogen, with titanium making up the remaining portion of the bar. Through the use of this regulated composition, the mechanical qualities and resistance to corrosion are maintained consistently across all production batches.
Core Benefits for Heat Exchanger Applications
The high resistance to corrosion that Grade 2 titanium round bar possesses is the key benefit that it offers in heat exchangers. When exposed to chlorides, acids, and seawater, titanium does not lose its structural integrity. This is in contrast to typical materials, which deteriorate at a quick rate in situations that are characterized by severe chemical conditions. Because of this resistance, there is no longer a requirement for frequent replacements, which cuts down greatly on the costs of maintenance.
Performance in terms of thermal efficiency is still another important advantage. The thermal conductivity of the material is always steady, which guarantees effective heat transfer while also ensuring that the material's dimensions remain stable regardless of temperature fluctuations. In heat exchangers, uses of grade 2 titanium round bars demonstrates outstanding performance in temperature ranges ranging from -269 degrees Celsius to 300 degrees Celsius without affecting the structural integrity of the heat engine.
Because it is biocompatible and non-toxic, Grade 2 titanium round bar is an excellent choice for use in applications related to the food processing industry and the pharmaceutical industry. Because titanium satisfies the specifications set forth by the FDA for direct food contact and pharmaceutical processing equipment, regulatory compliance becomes much simpler thanks to this material.
There are many benefits associated with fabrication, including high machinability and welding properties. The machining of grade 2 titanium round bars enables exact tolerances and smooth surface finishes, both of which are necessary for achieving maximum heat transfer efficiency. This material responds well to typical machining techniques, which reduces the complexity of the manufacturing process and the expenses associated with it.

To guarantee that you make the best possible choice when selecting materials for your heat exchanger design, our technical team offers comprehensive consultancy services.
Selecting the appropriate surface finish has a considerable impact on the efficiency of heat transfer. Variations of hot-rolled, forged, and precision-ground titanium round bars are available as surface finishes for grade 2 titanium round bars. The coefficients of heat transfer are improved by smooth finishes, whereas various surface textures may be advantageous for certain applications that need better fluid mixing.
In order to avoid contamination and surface damage, suitable handling practices are among the installation issues that must be attended to. When cutting round bars made of grade 2 titanium, it is important to employ the necessary tools and processes in order to preserve the surface integrity. It is important to avoid contaminating carbon steel tools, as this can result in localized corrosion problems that are localized.
When it comes to welding methods, special techniques are required in order to preserve corrosion resistance. The welding of titanium round bars of grade 2 requires the use of inert gas shielding and the preparation of the joints correctly. In order to achieve the highest possible joint strength and resistance to corrosion, our technical support staff offers comprehensive welding processes and recommendations.
Critical Implementation Considerations
Maintaining the integrity of the material prior to installation is protected by storage and handling regulations.
