Titanium Metal Plate for Chemical, Marine and Industrial Use

Shaanxi Chuanghui Daye Metal Material Co., Ltd. works out of Baoji, China. From there we ship titanium metal plate in commercially pure grades and in alloy grades. Chemical plants count among our buyers. Marine and industrial jobs use the plate too. Thickness goes from 0.5 mm to 50 mm. Width covers 500 mm to 2000 mm. For length, buyers can choose 1000 mm to 6000 mm. Density is 4.43 to 4.51 g/cm³. Low weight and corrosion resistance matter in some jobs. There these plates work well as machining stock or in fabricated structural assemblies. Send us the grade, the size and the standard you follow. Before you order, our team goes over the specification with you.

Specifications

Data for our this product is set out in the table below. Some parameters, flatness tolerance among them, do not appear here. Please confirm those with our team before you order.

Plate normally means a thickness over 4.75 mm (0.1875 in). Our list starts lower, at 0.5 mm. So thinner gauges are in it too. Most people call those sheet.

Material and Production Process

Vacuum arc remelted (VAR) ingot is where titanium plate starts. That ingot then gets forged and hot rolled. Cold rolling follows when the job calls for it. Annealing comes last and gives the metal a stable microstructure.

Commercially pure titanium is one choice. Alloy grades are the other. Flatness gets checked on a good plate. Interstitial elements get checked too. Carbon is one. Oxygen is another. Nitrogen and hydrogen are checked as well. Push those too high and the metal turns brittle.

Physical and Mechanical Properties

Density: 4.43–4.51 g/cm³. Weigh it against steel and this titanium metal plate comes out lighter. Grade 1 begins at 240 MPa for tensile strength. Up at Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) the number passes 895 MPa (130 ksi).

Elastic modulus sits near 110 GPa. Steel scores higher on that measure. Put a load on the plate and it bends, which designers must check for. Nothing magnetic shows up here. Melting starts around 1668 °C (3034 °F).

Corrosion Resistance

Oxygen reaches titanium and a stable oxide film (TiO2) builds on it. That film holds. Thanks to the layer, the plate hardly corrodes in air. Seawater causes no trouble either. Wet chlorine leaves it alone. Oxidizing acids do the same.

In chloride-rich settings stainless steel can pit. Crevice corrosion is a risk as well. Stress cracking (SCC) can hit it too. Titanium is a common pick for those jobs. Fewer replacements and less maintenance work can follow. Temperature still shapes performance. Concentration and design matter too. So tell us your working medium when you inquire.

Be used in a wide range of industries.

Choosing Between Grade 2 and Grade 5

Grade 2 is made of commercially pure titanium. Corrosion resistance is good. So is formability. Chemical processing equipment makers often pick it for that reason.

Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) is one of the alloy grades. It beats Grade 2 on strength. Shaping it is harder work. Aerospace structures take most of it. Send over your load figures. What forming method will you use? Let us know. Add the working medium too. We can help you pick the right grade. Please confirm the grade is available when you ask.

Cutting, Joining and Storage Tips

• Cutting: Abrasive waterjet cutting stays cold. Edges come out clean. Laser and plasma cutting work another way. Both leave a heat-affected zone (HAZ) and alpha case behind. Machining has to remove that layer.
• Alpha case: Oxygen collects in this brittle surface layer. Air plus heat makes it form on titanium. Remove it with chemical milling or machining before the plate goes into service.
• Joining to steel: Never weld titanium directly to steel. Brittle intermetallic compounds may develop. That makes the joint weaker. For titanium-to-steel joints, explosion bonding (cladding) is a common method.
• Storage: Plates should be kept away from carbon steel and grease. Iron contamination gets in that way. Titanium will not rust in normal air.

Applications for titanium metal plate

Where chloride and seawater eat into steel, chemical plants and marine structures switch to titanium plate. Aerospace structures rely on Grade 5. Machined parts often start life as This product too.

Titanium products from our range are used in metallurgy, electronics, medical and special steel fields. Medical projects may choose titanium for its non-magnetic behavior, and any required medical standards should be confirmed with us in advance.

About the Supplier

Shaanxi Chuanghui Daye Metal Material Co., Ltd. works out of Baoji High-tech Development Zone. In China, Baoji is known as the "Titanium Capital". Our founder brings more than 30 years of experience in the rare metal industry. We have shipped products to more than 50 countries. Those countries include the United States, Germany, South Korea and Singapore.

We carry tantalum, niobium, tungsten, molybdenum, zirconium, and nickel products too. More than one material can go into the same order.

Purchasing Considerations

Need a quote for a titanium metal plate? Send the grade. We need the thickness. Give us the width. Add the length. Include the standard (ASTM B265, ASME SB265 or AMS 4911). If your drawing calls for flatness limits, tell us. Same for interstitial element limits. Quantity terms are not on this page. Lead time is missing too. Certificates are absent here. Our team can confirm each of them for you.

FAQ

Q: In what main way does Grade 2 titanium plate differ from Grade 5?

A: Grade 2 is commercially pure titanium. It forms without much trouble. Corrosion does not get to it easily. Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) is an alloy. With it, you get more strength. Forming it is harder, though.

Q: Can titanium plate be welded to steel?

A: No, not in a straight weld. A direct weld can produce brittle intermetallic compounds, and then the joint may fail. Most shops use explosion bonding (cladding) for this instead.

Q: Why is alpha case a concern?

A: When titanium is heated in air, a brittle layer full of oxygen builds up on the surface. This is called alpha case. Cracks often begin there. Take it off before the part goes into service.

Q: How should titanium plate be stored?

A: Keep grease and carbon steel away from the metal. Iron contamination then has no way in. Under normal atmospheric conditions, titanium does not rust.

Q: What sizes can I order?

A: Thickness runs from 0.5–50 mm. Width is 500–2000 mm. Length goes from 1000–6000 mm. Both pure titanium and titanium alloys are available. Send your requirements to info@chdymetal.com.
