Commercially pure titanium grades have an excellent strength-density ratio and good corrosion resistance. This makes them suitable for weight-saving structures with lower mass forces as well as for the manufacture of components that require high corrosion resistance. In addition, thermal stresses in titanium structures are lower than other metallic materials due to the low thermal expansion of titanium. The materials are also widely used in the medical industry due to their exceptional biocompatibility.
Titanium Grade 3 is stronger and less formable than Titanium Grade 1 and Titanium Grade 2. Grade 3 titanium is in the following standards: ASME SB-363, ASME SB-381, ASME SB-337, ASME SB-338, ASME SB-348, ASTM F-67, AMS 4921, ASME SB-265, AMS 4902, ASME SB -337, ASME SB-338, AMS 4942
The main areas of use are Aviation, Architecture, Automotive, Chemical Processing and Chlorate Production, Desalination, Hydro Carbon Processing, Marine, Medical, Energy Generation sectors.
