Overview
Titanium is an allotrope with a melting point of 1668°C. When it is lower than 882°C, it has a close-packed hexagonal lattice structure, called α titanium; above 882°C, it has a body-centered cubic lattice structure, called β titanium. Using the different characteristics of the above two structures of titanium, adding appropriate alloying elements to gradually change the phase transformation temperature and phase content to obtain titanium alloys with different structures. At room temperature, titanium alloys have three matrix structures, and titanium alloys are divided into the following three categories: α alloys, (α+β) alloys and β alloys.
Grade3, UNS R50550, 3.7054, CP-2 Unalloyed titanium. Compared with titanium Grade1 and Grade2, it has higher mechanical strength, moderate ductility and good weldability. It can show excellent corrosion resistance in different environments. Typical applications: components and equipment for airframe and aircraft engine parts, construction, medical engineering, automotive, chemical, pharmaceutical, brewing, food, oil and gas, pulp and paper, and marine industry.
