Overview

Commercially pure titanium with the highest ductility and formability of all titanium grades. Lowest strength but best corrosion resistance in oxidizing environments. The preferred grade for chemical processing equipment, plate-type heat exchangers, and applications requiring extensive cold forming. Excellent weldability with no post-weld heat treatment required.
