1. What Titanium Wire Is
Titanium wire is a drawn titanium product supplied in coils or spools, with diameters from fractions of a millimeter upward. Application and Performance Characteristics of Titanium Welding Wires combines the corrosion resistance, biocompatibility and strength of titanium with the flexibility needed for welding, fastening, springs and medical applications.
2. Grades and Properties
Titanium wire is supplied in commercially pure grades and alloy grades, with the mechanical condition, diameter tolerance and surface finish defined by the order. CP grades offer good ductility for forming and welding; alloy grades add strength for springs and structural use. The certificate reports the composition and mechanical properties per batch.
3. Manufacturing
The wire is produced by drawing titanium rod through a series of dies, with intermediate annealing to restore ductility. The final pass sets the diameter and the surface finish, which may be bright, pickled or coated. The wire is wound on spools or coils to the ordered weight.
4. Applications
Welding filler wire for titanium joints.
Fasteners, pins and springs.
Medical devices and orthodontic components.
Electronics and sensor applications.
Additive manufacturing feedstock.
5. Selection and Quality
The grade, diameter, temper and surface are selected by the application. Buyers should verify the diameter tolerance, the surface cleanliness and the mechanical properties on the certificate, and should confirm the spool weight and the packaging that protects the wire during transport.
