Titanium Grade 1 Sheet

Titanium Grade 1 Sheet is the first of four commercially pure titanium grades. It has the lowest strength but best formability of all commercially pure grades.

Titanium grade 1 density is approximately half that of steel. Gr1 titanium sheet is lightweight yet strong.

Titanium's outstanding corrosion resistance is due to the formation of a tightly adherent oxide film on its surface. When damaged, this thin invisible layer immediately reforms, maintaining a surface that is completely resistant to corrosive attack in sea water and all natural environments. This oxide is so resistant to corrosion that titanium components often look brand new even after years of service.

Grade 1 titanium sheet offers excellent corrosion resistance in:

Highly oxidizing environments

Mildly reducing environments

Sea water and marine environments

Chlorides and brackish water

1. What is Titanium Grade 1 Sheet?
Titanium Grade 1 Sheet is the softest and most ductile of the commercially pure titanium grades. It has 24% minimum elongation, excellent corrosion resistance, and high impact toughness (310 J Charpy). It is ideal for forming and bending applications.

2. What is the difference between Grade 1 and Grade 2 titanium sheet?
Grade 1 has lower oxygen (0.18% vs 0.25%) and lower iron (0.20% vs 0.30%), resulting in lower yield strength (170 MPa vs 275 MPa) but higher elongation (24% vs 20%). Choose Grade 1 for forming; choose Grade 2 for higher strength.

3. What is the density of Grade 1 titanium sheet?
Titanium grade 1 density is 4.51 g/cm³ (0.163 lb/in³), approximately half that of steel. This makes gr1 titanium sheet significantly lighter than steel sheet of the same dimensions.

4. What are the mechanical properties of Grade 1 titanium sheet?
Tensile strength is 240 MPa minimum, yield strength is 170-310 MPa, elongation is 24% minimum, and Brinell hardness is 120 (annealed). These properties make it the most formable titanium grade.

5. Is Grade 1 titanium sheet corrosion resistant?
Yes. Titanium forms a tightly adherent oxide film that immediately reforms if damaged. This provides excellent corrosion resistance in sea water, chlorides, oxidizing environments, and mildly reducing environments.

6. What industries use Grade 1 titanium sheet?
Power generation (flue gas scrubbers, stack liners), chemical processing (acid production, chlorination), pulp and paper (bleach plants), pharmaceutical and food processing, waste treatment, and oil & gas (sour gas wells).

7. What value-added services are available for titanium sheet?
Shearing, saw cutting, chemical milling, slitting, and water-jet cutting are available. These services allow you to get gr1 titanium sheet cut to your exact specifications without purchasing additional equipment.

8. What certifications are provided with Grade 1 titanium sheet?
Mill Test Certificates (EN 10204 3.1), Third Party Inspection Reports, and NABL Approved Lab Reports are available upon request.

9. Can Grade 1 titanium sheet be deep drawn?
Yes. gr1 titanium for deep drawing is excellent due to low yield strength (170 MPa) and high elongation (24%). It has the best formability of all commercially pure titanium grades, making it ideal for complex deep drawn parts.
