Many engineers face a dilemma: how to balance strength, formability, and corrosion resistance without overspending on aerospace-grade alloys. Grade 2 Titanium (UNS R50400) is the answer. As the “workhorse” of the industrial titanium market, it offers the ductility needed for complex bending while remaining virtually immune to chemical attack.
Unlike standard hot-rolled bars that often require extensive surface machining, our 10mm × 10mm Square Bars are produced via a rigorous Cold Drawing process. This ensures a smooth, scale-free surface and tight dimensional control right out of the box—saving you valuable setup time on CNC Swiss lathes or manual fixtures.
Ideal Applications: Anodizing Racks & Jigs, Electroplating Hooks, Chemical Valve Stems, Marine Fasteners, Medical Instrument Handles.
We don’t just meet ASTM B348; we aim for the upper tier of the specification to ensure consistency in your production line.
| Element | ASTM B348 Limit (Max) | Our Typical Value | Effect on Performance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nitrogen (N) | 0.03 % | < 0.01 % | Lower N improves ductility. |
| Carbon (C) | 0.08 % | < 0.02 % | Low C prevents carbide formation. |
| Hydrogen (H) | 0.015 % | < 0.005 % | Ultra-low H prevents hydrogen embrittlement. |
| Iron (Fe) | 0.30 % | ~0.12 % | Controlled Fe balances strength & corrosion resistance. |
| Oxygen (O) | 0.25 % | ~0.15 % | Optimized O provides strength without brittleness. |
| Titanium (Ti) | Balance | Balance (~99.6%) | Base material. |
| Property | ASTM B348 Limit | Our Typical Value | Why It Matters? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tensile Strength (Rm) | ≥ 345 MPa (50 ksi) | 450 – 520 MPa | Provides structural reliability for loaded racks. |
| Yield Strength (Rp0.2) | 275 – 450 MPa | 320 – 380 MPa | The “Sweet Spot” for cold forming without excessive springback. |
| Elongation | ≥ 20% | 28% (Avg.) | Critical for bending hooks/clips without cracking. |
| Reduction of Area | ≥ 30% | ~50% | Indicates excellent plasticity. |
| Hardness (Vickers) | – | 160 – 180 HV | Moderate hardness allows easier machining. |
| Specification Item | Standard Value | Precision Option |
|---|---|---|
| Side Width | 10.0 mm | – |
| Tolerance Class | h11 (+0 / -0.090 mm) | h9 (+0 / -0.036 mm) upon request |
| Corner Radius (R) | ≤ 0.5 mm (Sharp) | Custom Radius Available |
| Straightness | ≤ 1.0 mm/m | ≤ 0.5 mm/m |

Working with titanium requires a different approach than steel or aluminum. Here are our recommendations to maximize efficiency and tool life.
Titanium Gr2 is soft but tends to be “gummy.”
As a specialized titanium manufacturer, quality control is integrated into every step of our process—not just checked at the end.
We understand that B2B procurement requires flexibility and reliability.
Q: I’m making anodizing racks. Is Grade 2 better than Grade 5 (TC4)?
A: Absolutely. While Grade 5 is stronger, Grade 2 offers superior corrosion resistance in electrolytes and far better electrical conductivity, which is crucial for efficient anodizing. Plus, Grade 2 is much easier to cold bend into hooks.
Q: Is Grade 2 Titanium magnetic?
A: No, Grade 2 Titanium is non-magnetic, making it ideal for use in medical devices, electronic interference shielding, and MRI environments.
Q: Can you polish the surface? The picture shows matte grey.
A: The standard finish is Acid Pickled (Matte), which is clean and oxide-free. However, for medical instruments or aesthetic parts, we offer centerless grinding or polishing to achieve a bright, mirror-like finish (Ra < 0.4μm).
Q: Do you provide MTC with the order?
A: Yes, a fully traceable Mill Test Certificate (EN 10204 3.1) containing chemical composition, mechanical properties, and inspection results is included with every shipment.
