Gr3 titanium plate

Gr3 Titanium Plate

LINHUI TITANIUM specializes in producing high-end Gr3 titanium plate with remarkable accuracy and quality. For demanding applications, our plates' controlled cold rolling technology ensures steady forming performance by maintaining thickness tolerance within ±0.05mm. These plates offer 30% better mechanical qualities than Grade 2 substitutes while retaining superior processability and weldability, with tensile strengths of up to 450 MPa and yield strengths of 380 MPa. The density advantage over steel—roughly 45% lighter—significantly lowers product weight, improving operational efficiency in a variety of industries.

With extensive certifications such as ISO 9001:2015, ASTM B265, and PED 2014/68/EU compliance, our production plant keeps more than 200 tons of inventory on hand for prompt delivery.

Key Features & Benefits

Superior Strength-to-Weight Ratio

The elevated oxygen content in Gr3 titanium plate provides enhanced mechanical strength without compromising corrosion resistance. This makes it ideal for pressure vessels and structural components.

Excellent Formability

Our controlled rolling process ensures uniform grain structure, allowing complex forming operations without surface cracking. The material maintains 18% minimum elongation for safe contouring during fabrication.

Corrosion Immunity

The natural titanium oxide layer protects against chlorides, seawater, and industrial chemicals. Your equipment experiences extended service life with minimal maintenance requirements.

Manufacturing Process

Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) Triple-melt VAR technique guarantees chemical homogeneity throughout the ingot and removes inclusions. This procedure ensures uniform mechanical characteristics across the titanium plate.

Annealing and Hot Rolling

Internal stress is eliminated by vacuum annealing after controlled hot rolling at 850–950°C. A homogeneous microstructure with ASTM grain size No. 7 or finer is achieved by the plate.

Finishing and Cold Rolling

Tight thickness tolerances are achieved through precision cold rolling. Alpha case, an oxygen-enriched surface layer that could lead to cracking during forming operations, is eliminated by subsequent acid pickling.

Quality Inspection

Completely NDT Testing

To find subsurface flaws, each plate is subjected to ultrasonic testing in accordance with AMS 2631 Class A1 requirements. Surface discontinuities larger than 0.5 mm are detected by eddy current examination.

Mechanical Confirmation

The minimum properties of 450 MPa tensile strength and 380 MPa yield strength are confirmed by tensile testing (ASTM E8). Formability without edge breaking is confirmed by bend testing.

Chemical Evaluation

Oxygen and interstitial element content are confirmed by combustion analysis and ICP-OES. Every package comes with complete traceability documentation and heat number tracking.

Applications Of Gr3 titanium plate

Chemical Processing Equipment

Reactor vessels, heat exchanger plates, and pickling tanks benefit from the superior corrosion resistance in chlor-alkali and bleach production environments.

Marine Engineering

Offshore platform components and desalination systems utilize the seawater immunity and weight reduction advantages of titanium plate.

Aerospace Components

Structural brackets, fairings, and fastener plates leverage the high strength-to-weight ratio for fuel efficiency improvements.

Medical Devices

Surgical instrument housings and implant manufacturing benefit from the biocompatibility and sterilization durability.

FAQ

Q: Is it possible to weld your Gr3 plates to stainless steel?

A: Brittle intermetallic composites are produced via direct welding. Instead, use explosion-bonded transition joints or mechanical connections.

Q: What is the highest temperature at which services can be provided?

A: Up to 425°C, continuous operation is advised. Embrittlement results from fast oxidation and oxygen absorption brought on by higher temperatures.

Q: Do you offer certificates for material tests?

A: Yes, each shipment is accompanied with EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certificates with complete mechanical and chemical test data that may be linked to heat numbers.

Q: How much is the minimum order quantity?

A: The starting weight of stock items is 100 kg. A minimum of 500 kg per specification is needed for custom sizes.

Q: How can I confirm authenticity?

A: Every plate has a heat number laser-marked on it. It is possible to schedule a third-party examination by SGS, BV, or TÜV prior to shipment.
