Titanium products - Import export

Ti Grade 9 is a near alpha, alpha-beta alloy, sometimes referred to as “half-6-4.” It offers 20 to 50% higher tensile strength than the commercially pure titanium at room and elevated temperatures. It is much more amenable to cold working than Ti 6AI/4V alloy and can be cold worked 75 to 85% to result in moderately high strength and good ductility The alloy can be formed from the annealed temper. Severe forming may be aided by an intermediate stress relief. Stress relieving may be appropriate after severe cold forming to remove residual stresses. Weldability and corrosion resistance is very similar to commercially pure titanium. Welding should be performed with inert gas shielded arc or spot welding.Welding with active gases, coatings, or fluxes must be avoided to prevent embrittlement.

CP Titanium is selected for its favorable strength to weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. Two levels of purity permit a choice of finish strength. The alloy can be formed from the annealed temper. Severe forming may be aided by an intermediate stress relief at 1000°F. Stress relieving may be appropriate after severe cold forming to remove residual stresses. Welding should be performed with inert gas shielded arc or spot welding. Welding with active gases, coatings, or fluxes must be avoided to prevent embrittlement. Available Sizes: CP Titanium is available from Hamilton Precision Metals as strip product from 0.0005” to 0.025” (0.0127 mm to 0.635 mm) and widths up to 12.0” (304.8 mm). A foil product is available as thin as 0.000085” (0.002159 mm) and widths of 4.0” (101.6 mm) maximum. The material conforms to ASTM F67, ASTM B265, AMS 4902 and UNS R50250,R50400.

Titanium exhibits a unique combination of properties including excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and outstanding strength to weight ratios. Titanium is produced as commercially pure or alloyed. Commercially pure titanium is typically used in implantable medical applications whereas the titanium alloys are produced with the addition of vanadium or aluminum for applications such as aerospace. Hamilton Precision Metals processes strip and foil products in Titanium CP (Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 4) and Titanium 3Al-2.5V (Grade 9).

Our titanium strip portfolio includes titanium grade 23 (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) and titanium grade 5 (Ti 6Al-4V). These products are custom-made to exacting specifications and predominantly used for implantable medical devices. We also work in partnership with Hamilton Precision Metals, part of AMETEK Specialty Metal Products, to engineer titanium strip and foil in Ti Grades 1, 2, 4 and 9 down to 1.5 microns (0.000060”) thickness. Titanium Grade 23 Strip (Ti 6Al-4V ELI) Ti 6Al/4V ELI strip is used in medical implant applications owing to its excellent biocompatibility, high strength, and MRI compatibility. Titanium Grade 5 Strip (Ti 6Al-4V) Ti 6Al/4V strip has an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and fabricability. Consequently, it is used extensively in aerospace, medical, marine, and chemical processing, and surgical implants.

Because of its strength, unique density and corrosion resistance, titanium has found applications in many industries. For high quality tubing products, it’s often a better substance to use than competing materials like stainless steels or super alloys. Titanium tubes are light weight and exceptionally corrosion and heat resistantThe density of titanium is about 60 per cent of that of steel- or nickel-based alloys giving significant weight savings in aerospace structures. The tensile strength is better than that of austenitic or ferritic stainless steels. Titanium is exceptionally corrosion resistant and exceeds the resistance of stainless steels in most environments. The metal is non-magnetic too, and has good heat transfer properties, with a melting point higher than steel alloys. Titanium is easily worked. Please note that we have a minimum order value of £10,000.

Our precision metal strip products are custom-made in biocompatible alloys for implantable medical devices that improve quality of life for patients around the world. We work in partnership with Hamilton Precision Metals to manufacture innovative metal materials that enable smaller, lighter and higher performing medical implants. Superior Titanium Strip for Implantable Medical Devices We have developed proprietary practices for the successful reduction of Titanium Grade 5 (6Al-4V) and Titanium Grade 23 Alloys (6Al-4V ELI) to thicknesses of 0.0039” (0.10mm). Our process results in a finish much superior to alternative methods of etching or grinding strips to gauge. This surface finish and gauge control translates to improvements in finished product quality as well as process controls during drawing, stamping, etching or laser cutting. These alloys are offered in the fully annealed or the as-rolled tempers.
