Why Grade Selection Matters
In chemical processing, marine engineering and other environments containing chlorine, acids or alkalis where crevice corrosion is prone to occur, material stability and corrosion resistance directly determine equipment reliability.
GR12 (Ti-0.3Mo-0.8Ni) Core Characteristics
Outstanding crevice corrosion resistance: with 0.3% Mo + 0.8% Ni, GR12 exhibits negligible crevice corrosion risk in 5% Cl⁻ environments at 100°C - far surpassing GR2 pure titanium foil and resolving its inherent crevice-corrosion susceptibility.
Balanced strength and formability: tensile strength reaches ~520 MPa - roughly 50% higher than GR2 - with excellent elongation enabling cold rolling to ultra-thin specifications; formability surpasses strength-focused GR5 foil.
Superior cost-effectiveness: corrosion resistance approaches palladium-bearing GR7 foil without the precious metal, reducing material cost by over 25% - suitable for large-scale industrial applications.
Comparison Table
| Grade | Corrosion Resistance | Cost | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| GR12 (TA10/Gr.12) | Excellent crevice corrosion resistance (Mo+Ni synergy) | Lower than TA9; high value | Chemical heat exchangers, offshore pipelines |
| GR7 (TA9/Gr.7) | Extremely strong (palladium-modified passivation) | Higher (palladium cost) | Hydrogen fuel cells, high-end medical equipment |
| GR2 (TA2/industrial pure Ti) | Average (prone to pitting in crevice conditions) | Lowest | General industrial structural components |
Selection Guidance
GR12: optimum balance for chloride/acid process equipment and offshore service.
GR7: where maximum corrosion resistance justifies the precious-metal cost.
GR2: economical choice for mild, non-crevice service.
