GR5 ASTM B348 Titanium Rod Titanium Round Bar with OD32mm for Industrial & Medical Applications

ASTM B348 is a specification that covers Titanium and Titanium Alloy Bars and Billets for use in various applications, including medical, aerospace, and industrial sectors. Grade 2 Titanium (also known as Commercially Pure Titanium or CP Titanium) is one of the most commonly used grades of titanium, known for its excellent corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and lightweight nature.

Below is an overview of ASTM B348 Grade 2 (Gr2) Titanium Rod, Round Bar, and Welding Rod:

Material Composition:
Grade 2 Titanium is composed of 99% pure titanium, with trace amounts of other elements like oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon. It has minimal alloying elements, which gives it its characteristic properties:

• Aluminum: ~0.2% max
• Iron: ~0.3% max
• Oxygen: ~0.18% max
• Carbon: ~0.08% max

• Properties:

  • Tensile Strength: 50-70 ksi (345-485 MPa)
  • Yield Strength: 40 ksi (275 MPa)
  • Elongation: 20-30%
  • Density: 4.51 g/cm³
  • Corrosion Resistance: Excellent in a variety of environments, including body fluids and seawater.
  • Workability: Very good, especially for applications requiring welding or machining.
  • Biocompatibility: Highly biocompatible, making it suitable for medical implants.

Specifications of Titanium Grades:

Grade 2 Titanium is widely used in industries that require corrosion resistance, strength, and light weight. Common applications include:

• Medical implants: Bone plates, screws, dental implants, and surgical instruments. Its biocompatibility makes it an excellent choice for these applications.
• Aerospace components: Used for components exposed to harsh environments (e.g., aircraft structures, engine parts).
• Marine industry: For seawater-resistant parts like heat exchangers and valves.
• Chemical processing: Pumps, valves, and tanks where corrosion resistance is critical.
