Titanium Grade 1 (R50250): composition, properties, fittings and flanges
Titanium Grade 1 (R50250, W. Nr. 3.7025) is Commercially pure titanium, lowest interstitial grade. Titanium Grade 1 is specified at Titanium Balance. Grade 1 is the softest and most formable titanium: the lowest oxygen and iron limits give maximum ductility and the best corrosion resistance, which is why deep drawn and…

Note Single figures are maximum limits unless shown as a range. Always confirm against the heat-specific EN 10204 3.1 certificate supplied with your order.
Mechanical properties
| Tensile strength, min (annealed) | 240 MPa / 35 ksi |
|---|---|
| 0.2 % yield strength, min | 170 MPa / 25 ksi |

- Explosion bonded and roll bonded clad plate
- Architecture, automotive and consumer product sheet work
- Seawater and chlor-alkali equipment needing maximum formability
Welding, forming and machining
- Welding
- Weld by GTAW with ERTi-1 filler under full argon shielding - front, back and trailing. Titanium becomes brittle if it sees oxygen or nitrogen above about 400 °C, so shielding discipline is everything.
- Heat treatment
- Anneal at 650 - 760 °C in air or vacuum and cool in still air. Stress relieve at 480 - 595 °C.
- Hot and cold forming
- Hot work in the range stated by the mill for this grade, then re-solution or re-age before final machining so that the delivered condition matches the certificate.
- Machining
- Machine with sharp carbide or high-speed steel tooling, positive rake, constant feed and ample coolant. Never dwell - the surface work-hardens quickly.
