Generally, stainless steel 304L can not be used in applications involving nitric acid since it may experience significant uniform or intergranular attack. Grade 2 titanium is applicable for handling and producing nitric acid. It shows excellent resistance to HNO3 attack …

Chromic acid is the aqueous solution of chromium trioxide (chromic anhydride) simply attained by dissolving CrO3 into water. The unalloyed titanium of ASTM grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 16 can be used for applications involving chromic acid over a wide …

Titanium and its alloys are fully resistant to pure water, all nature waters, and stream to temperatures in excess of 315°C [600°F] since a firm passive titanium dioxide film will form which exhibits some surface discoloration at higher temperatures. When …

The commercially pure titanium (unalloyed titanium) ASTM grades 1 to 4 can be used for applications involving acetic acid, or acetic acid combined with acetic anhydride, chlorine ion, or formic acid. The corrosion data for grade 1, grade 2, grade …

In ferrous and nonferrous metals selection, there are several natural metal and applicable environment combinations. These combination usually represent the maximum corrosion resistance at the lowest cost and should always be considered. The favored material / application combinations are listed …

The tensile strength values for grade 2 titanium seamless or welded tubes at temperatures ranging from -20°F to 600°F are listed in below table: *Temp.: metal temperature, °F, not exceeding; *T.S.: minimum tensile strength at given temperature. *ASME SB-338 grade …

Applicability and Temperature Limits Manufactured to ASTM B338(ASME SB-338), seamless and welded grade 2 titanium tubes can be used for condensers and heat exchangers. According to ASME Boilers and Pressure Vessel Code Section II Part D, they  are applicable for the …

Designated as UNS R50400, the ASTM Grade 2 titanium (commercially pure titanium) has several international equivalents which include DIN 3.7035 (German), GOST BTI-0 (Russian), BS 25-35t/in2 (British), JIS Class 2 (Japanese), Gr. TA2 (Chinese GB). Their chemical compositions and mechanical properties …

Impact toughness of the material is a crucial parameter in design of pressure vessels. Generally, at the option of the purchaser, Charpy V-notch impact test shall run for ASTM A516 (ASME SA-516) pressure vessel plates. The test shall be conducted in …

Generally, there are 8 grades of titanium and titanium alloys that are most commonly used in industrial applications in which corrosion resistance is often of primary concern. Among these titanium materials, titanium Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, and Grade …

Titanium has been recognized as an element for more than 200 years. Only in the early 1950’s, however, has the metal gained strategic importance. Titanium and its alloys are first used for aerospace applications due to their high strength-to-density ratios. …
