Aviation Grade Titanium Sheet Metal For Industrial Construction Decoration

Aviation Grade Quality Titanium Sheets In Various Sizes In Stock For Industrial Construction Decoration

Titanium plate is a new important structural material used in the aerospace industry. Its specific gravity, strength and service temperature are between aluminum and steel, but it has high specific strength and excellent seawater corrosion resistance and ultra-low temperature performance.

Titanium sheet and plate can be supplied to a number of different surface finishes. The importance of the surface finish is largely determined by the application and closeness to finished state as typically surfaces of products maybe be completed after final fabrication. The common supply state is an annealed mill finish however Standard Titanium Co. can offer various surface finishes dependent on size and supply conditions. The differing types of surface finishes are:

Milled

Polished

Pickling (descaled)

Brushed

Blasted – Shot / Sand

Titanium sheet and plate are commonly used in manufacturing today, with the most popular grades being 2 and 5.
Grade 2 Titanium
Grade 2 is the commercially pure titanium used in most of the chemical processing plants and is cold formable. Grade 2 plate and sheet can have ultimate tensile strength at and above 40,000 psi.
Grade 5 Titanium
Grade 5 is the aerospace grade and is not cold formable, so it is used more often when no forming is needed. Grade 5 aerospace alloy will have ultimate tensile strength at and above 120,000 psi.
Plate is often used with the goal to get really close to the final dimensions of the part being made. The material is worked to the closest size of the desired part and the grain structure of the finished piece is more homogenous. Titanium sheet is often used as a heat barrier because titanium stops the heat and does not transfer to the rest of the assembly. Titanium plate and sheet have ballistic properties making it great for driver protection in racing.
