Titanium Grade 3
Titanium Grade 3 is a commercially pure titanium alloy offering a balanced combination of moderate strength, good ductility, excellent corrosion resistance, and weldability. Stronger than Grades 1 and 2, but more formable than Grade 4, Grade 3 is ideal for applications requiring structural integrity in corrosive environments, such as chemical processing, marine, aerospace, and power generation industries.
- Moderate to High Strength: Higher tensile and yield strength than Grades 1 and 2.
- Corrosion Resistance: Excellent performance in oxidizing and mildly reducing environments.
- Good Formability: Can be formed and cold-worked with ease compared to higher-strength titanium grades.
- Excellent Weldability: Compatible with most welding techniques for fabrication.
- Biocompatibility: Suitable for medical use due to its non-toxic and non-reactive nature.
