Widely used in aircraft structures, engine components, hydraulic tubing, landing gear systems, and aerospace fasteners where high strength and low weight are critical.
Suitable for offshore platforms, seawater piping systems, marine heat exchangers, desalination equipment, and subsea engineering because of its excellent resistance to seawater corrosion.
Used in reactors, heat exchangers, condensers, piping systems, storage vessels, and process equipment exposed to corrosive chemicals.
Applied in surgical instruments, orthopedic implants, prosthetics, and medical devices due to its biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and high strength.
Ideal for power plant condensers, heat exchangers, nuclear auxiliary systems, and renewable energy equipment requiring long service life and reliable performance.
ASTM B338 Grade 5 Titanium Alloy Tube is a seamless or welded titanium tube manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V alloy, offering excellent strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight performance for demanding industrial applications.
Grade 2 is commercially pure titanium with superior corrosion resistance and formability, while Grade 5 is a titanium alloy with much higher strength, making it ideal for aerospace and structural applications.
