Introduction
Gr1 titanium welding wire is a commercially pure titanium wire containing a minimum of 99% titanium. It is the softest and most ductile grade among all titanium types, making it easy to form into various shapes and sizes.
This pure titanium wire is typically produced through a cold drawing process, where the titanium rod is pulled through a series of dies to reduce its diameter while improving mechanical strength and surface finish.
Because of its excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature stability, Gr1 titanium wire is widely used in the chemical industry, meeting the demanding requirements of chemical equipment that operates under harsh conditions.

Manufacturing of Chemical Equipment
Gr1 titanium welding wire is widely used in the production of reactors, heaters, heat exchangers, storage tanks, and other chemical processing equipment. These components often operate under high temperature, high pressure, and corrosive environments—conditions where Grade 1 titanium’s corrosion resistance and thermal stability are crucial.
Connection and Maintenance of Titanium Equipment
Because titanium metal is difficult to weld, high-purity titanium welding wire is required for joining and repairing Gr2 titanium equipment to ensure strong, corrosion-resistant welds.
