Commercially Pure Titanium UNS R53401 – Grade 12 Titanium Products
ASTM-compliant Commercially Pure Titanium UNS R53401 (Grade 12) products, such as Sheet & Plate (ASTM B265 Gr12), Heat Exchanger Tube (ASTM B338 Gr12), Bars (ASTM B348 Gr12), Castings (ASTM B367 Gr12), Forgings (ASTM B381 Gr12), Nuts (ASTM F467 Gr12), and Bolts (ASTM F468 Gr12). Our products provide outstanding corrosion resistance in challenging conditions with 100% NDT inspection and thickness tolerance maintained within ±0.05mm.
We keep more than 200 tons of stock on hand, and regular production takes 15–25 days, whereas stock orders are delivered in 3–7 days.
Key Features & Benefits
In oxidizing chloride conditions, grade 12 provides exceptional resistance to both general and crevice corrosion. When compared to unalloyed grades, the inclusion of 0.3% molybdenum and 0.8% nickel greatly improves performance in reducing acid conditions.
With a density of 4.51 g/cm³, you can save 50% on weight compared to stainless steel thanks to its lightweight composition. The material maintains base metal corrosion resistance throughout the weld zone and shows outstanding weldability without filler metal.
For intricate fabrication needs, our regulated cold rolling method guarantees steady forming performance.

Manufacturing Process
To guarantee chemical uniformity throughout the ingot, we employ vacuum arc remelting (VAR) technology. Multiple remelts improve material uniformity and remove segregation.
The controlled temperature range for hot rolling is 800–950°C. In preparation for downstream manufacture, this technique optimizes mechanical qualities and refines grain structure.
Thickness tolerance within ±0.05mm is achieved by cold rolling with precision control. Annealing cycles prepare the material for your forming operations by restoring ductility while preserving corrosion resistance.
Quality Inspection
To find subsurface flaws, every batch is subjected to eddy current testing (ECT) and 100% ultrasonic testing (UT). In crucial applications, zero-defect quality control removes the possibility of material failure.
We offer EN 10204 3.1/3.2 mill test certificates that include full heat number traceability. On request, SGS, BV, TÜV, DNV, and ABS may conduct third-party inspections.
Consistent quality control throughout manufacturing cycles is guaranteed by ISO 9001:2015 accreditation.

FAQ
Q: How does UNS R53401 compare to Grade 4 (UNS R50700)?
A: While R50700 relies on oxygen strengthening, R53401 (Grade 12) contains Mo and Ni for enhanced corrosion resistance in reducing acids. Choose R53401 when facing chloride-containing reducing environments.
Q: Can Grade 12 be welded?
A: Yes, it offers excellent weldability. Use argon/helium shielding on both weld face and root. No filler metal required for thin sections, maintaining corrosion resistance throughout the joint.
Q: What lead time should I expect?
A: Stock orders ship in 3–7 days. Standard production requires 15–25 days. Custom fabrication takes 25–40 days. Rush orders available upon request.
