Titanium Grade 1 – Grade 1 is the softest titanium alloy, known for exceptional corrosion resistance, high ductility and very low weight. It is a material often used in the chemical process industry, marine engineering, medicine and heat exchangers. The alloy is commercially pure titanium with over 99.5% purity and is characterized by very good formability, weldability and biocompatibility.
The recommended filler material for welding is titanium AWS A5.16-90 ERTi-1.
General material description: Type: Unalloyed, commercially pure titanium (minimum 99.5% Ti) Structure: HCP structure (hexagonal close-packed) Developed for: Applications with requirements for corrosion resistance and biocompatibility Alternative names: Titanium Grade 1, CP Titanium Grade 1, UNS R50250, ASTM B265, Werkstoffnr 3.7025
Key advantages: Exceptional corrosion resistance in oxidizing and chloride environments Very low weight (approx. 45% lighter than steel) Extremely good formability and weldability Biocompatible – used in implants and medical technology Good toughness even at very low temperatures
Disadvantages / Limitations: Low strength compared to other titanium alloys (e.g. Grade 5) Not hardenable by heat treatment Not optimal for heavy loads or high temperatures (>300°C)
Applications by industry and value: Chemical industry: Equipment in chloride environments – acid resistant + low weight Medicine / Biotechnology: Implants, orthopedic devices – biocompatibility Marine technology: Boat components, heat exchangers – seawater resistance Paper & pulp: Bleaching systems, pipes – acid resistance Heat exchangers / Energy: Pipes and plates in corrosive systems – low weight, high resistance
General corrosion description: Passive oxide film provides extremely good protection in oxidizing environments Resistant to chlorides, acids and seawater Not susceptible to stress corrosion cracking in most liquids
Corrosion environments where the material works well: Hot and cold seawater Chloride solutions (e.g. NaCl, CaCl₂) Oxidizing acids (nitric acid, chromic acid) Organic acids, alkaline solutions, hydrogen peroxide
Corrosion environments where the material should be avoided: Hydrofluoric acid (HF) Reducing acids (hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid at high temperatures) Environments with high concentration of metal chlorides at high temperatures
Technical material properties (annealed condition): Property (Typical value) Yield strength (0.2%): ~170–240 MPa Tensile strength: ~240–350 MPa Elongation at break: ~24–30% Density: ~4.51 g/cm³ Elastic modulus: ~105 GPa Thermal conductivity: ~17 W/m·K Application temperature: Rec. ≤ 300°C (briefly up to 425°C) Weldability: Excellent – low risk of cracking Machinability: Very good – especially in annealed condition
