Titanium Grade 2 (UNS R50400, equivalent to Chinese TA2) is the most widely used commercially pure titanium grade with at least 98.9% Ti. It combines excellent corrosion resistance with good formability and weldability, and is the standard material for chemical equipment, desalination and heat exchangers.
As a manufacturer and global exporter of special alloys since 2012, Shanghai Hangbo Alloy Group Co., Ltd. supplies Titanium Grade 2 as round bars (φ2–600 mm, up to 12 m), plates & sheets (0.5–100 mm thick, up to 2500 mm wide), seamless tubes & pipes (φ6–630 mm OD, 0.5–40 mm wall), precision strip (0.02–3.0 mm, ±0.005 mm tolerance), welding wire & coils (1.0–5.0 mm), forgings & rolled rings (up to 7500 kg, 3500 mm OD), flanges & pipe fittings (Class 150–2500, DN15–DN1200) — all with EN 10204 3.1 certified material test reports.

Frequently asked questions
How does titanium Gr2 differ from 316L stainless in seawater?
316L is prone to crevice and pitting corrosion in seawater and usually needs velocity limits and regular cleaning. Titanium Gr2 forms a stable TiO₂ passive film and is essentially uncorroded in seawater, salt spray and wet chlorine, tolerating velocities above 30 m/s without coatings. Life-cycle cost is usually lower.
Why can't titanium be used in water-free methanol or fuming nitric acid?
Titanium relies on its surface oxide film. In strictly anhydrous reducing media such as dry methanol or dry chlorine, or in red fuming nitric acid with very high NOx, the film cannot be maintained and rapid corrosion or even pyrophoric reaction can occur. Use nickel alloys or run a dedicated evaluation for such service.
What forms and sizes are available?
We supply Titanium Grade 2 as round bars (φ2–600 mm, up to 12 m), plates & sheets (0.5–100 mm thick, up to 2500 mm wide), seamless tubes & pipes (φ6–630 mm OD, 0.5–40 mm wall), precision strip (0.02–3.0 mm, ±0.005 mm tolerance), welding wire & coils (1.0–5.0 mm), forgings & rolled rings (up to 7500 kg, 3500 mm OD), flanges & pipe fittings (Class 150–2500, DN15–DN1200). Custom lengths, tolerances and machining to drawing are available on request.
What is the MOQ and lead time?
MOQ is flexible — trial orders from a single piece are welcome. Stock sizes ship in 3–7 days; custom forgings and machined parts typically 15–35 days depending on quantity and process.
Can you provide third-party inspection and shipping to my port?
Yes. SGS / BV / TUV or your nominated inspector can witness all tests before shipment. Full export documentation is provided, and we ship worldwide by sea or air on FOB, CIF or DDP terms.
