It's the most recommended on slim thickness for cold deformation and cold deep drawing. It is <strong>highly corrosion-resistant<\/strong> and it's also the best grade to be cladded on other types of material (less expensive).<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Grade 2<\/strong>: it's the commercially pure titanium with a higher oxygen content than Grade 1. It's the most used grade because <strong>it guarantees a better compromise between corrosion resistance, weldability and formability<\/strong>. It's the perfect material for a wide range of chemical and marine applications, aviation industry components and also for heat exchangers, valves, forgings and pumps.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Grade 3<\/strong>:  it's the commercially pure titanium with an even higher oxygen content than Grade 1 and 2. <strong>It has greater robustness, a less ductility and it's highly corrosion-resistant<\/strong>. It can be easily welded and it is used where the decrease of the thickness considering the best mechanical features is necessary.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Grade 5<\/strong>: it's a titanium alloy with <strong>very high mechanical features<\/strong> (2-3 times Grade 2). It's widely used in the applications for aerospace and automotive sectors, offshore, sports, medical field and where gas an oil are used.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Grade 7<\/strong>: it's the <strong>most corrosion-resistant<\/strong> and for this reason is widely used in the chemical industry, in the industrial components manufacturing and in the heat exchangers. Its mechanical features are the same of Grade 2.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Grade 12<\/strong>: it is highly corrosion-resistant and it's used in the chemical industry, in the industrial components manufacturing and in the heat exchangers. <strong>Its mechanical features are excellent<\/strong> (equivalent to steel AISI 316).<\/p>","AxFaq":"*RECURSION*"}}}
