Titanium sheet and plate are commonly used in manufacturing today, with the most popular
grades being 2
and 5.
Grade 2 Titanium
Grade 2 is the commercially pure titanium used in most of the chemical processing plants and is cold
formable. Grade 2 plate and sheet can have ultimate tensile strength at and above 40,000 psi.
Grade 5 Titanium
Grade 5 is the aerospace grade and is not cold formable, so it is used more often when no forming is
needed. Grade 5 aerospace alloy will have ultimate tensile strength at and above 120,000 psi.
Plate is often used with the goal to get really close to the final dimensions of the part
being made. The
material is worked to the closest size of the desired part and the grain structure of the finished piece
is more homogenous. Titanium sheet is often used as a heat barrier because titanium stops the heat and
does not transfer to the rest of the assembly. Titanium plate and sheet have ballistic properties making
it great for driver protection in racing.
