Introduction

Titanium rods are essential for producing titanium alloys and raw titanium materials. They feature low density, high strength, and excellent corrosion resistance, making them indispensable in:

Aerospace: Aircraft structural components, rocket nozzles, hydraulic systems, honeycomb panels.

Chemical industry: Catalyst carriers, electrolyte purification devices.

Mechanical industry: Heat exchangers, condensers.

Medical industry: Surgical tubing, implants, prosthetics.

Marine, sports, and oil & gas industries.

Titanium can be easily fabricated, welded, and formed into tubes, rods, bars, and other shapes, making it versatile for modern industrial operations.

Specification

Applications

Titanium rods can be used for:

1. Cold drawing to produce lath, foil, or wire.

2. Titanium sponge (PTFE fiber) production.

3. Catalyst carriers or electrolyte purification.

4. Filler material in welding high-melting-point metals (3727°C).

5. Refractory materials and high-temperature plastics.

6. Steelmaking deoxidizers and desulfurizers.

7. Furnace internal components.

8. Nuclear reactor control rods.

9. Aircraft engine blades and rocket nozzles.

10. Containers for uranium extraction from seawater.

11. Heat-resistant glass, zirconia fiber.

12. Artificial joints, surgical implants.

13. Semiconductor devices.

Common Titanium Alloy Grades for Rods & Tubes:

Ti Grade 2: Most commonly used for power plant surface condensers, excellent corrosion resistance.

Ti 3Al/2.5V: Good ductility, corrosion resistance, high strength; available in seamless or straight tubes.

Ti 6Al/4V: Widely used α+β alloy; excellent strength, fabricability, weldability, corrosion resistance.
