Short answer: Titanium (density 4.51 g/cm3) delivers the best strength-to-weight ratio of any structural metal and is essentially immune to chloride corrosion. HXSCO supplies commercially pure titanium (Grade 1/2) and alpha-beta alloys such as Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) in sheet, plate, bar, tube, and wire, with mill-test certificates for aerospace, medical, chemical, and marine service.
At a Glance
Why Specify Titanium?
Titanium’s combination of low density, high strength, and outstanding corrosion resistance makes it the default choice where weight and durability both matter. It forms a stable, self-healing oxide film that resists seawater, chlorides, and most acids, and it is biocompatible and non-magnetic. The trade-off is higher material and machining cost, which is why it is used where steel or aluminum simply cannot survive.
Commercially Pure and Alloy Grades
The chart above groups the grades buyers specify most. Grade 1/2 are commercially pure titanium with excellent formability and corrosion resistance for chemical and marine service. Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) is the workhorse alpha-beta alloy for aerospace and medical implants. Grade 7 adds palladium for superior crevice corrosion resistance, and Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) is the extra-low-interstitial grade for surgical implants.
Supply Forms and Tolerances
- Sheet & plate: 0.5-50 mm for aerospace skins, heat exchangers, and marine fittings.
- Bar & billet: round and flat for machined parts and fasteners.
- Tube & pipe: seamless and welded for condensers and risers.
- Wire: for welding wire, springs, and medical devices.
Aplicaciones típicas
Titanium serves jet-engine compressor blades, airframe structures, orthopedic and dental implants, desalination and chemical-process equipment, offshore risers, and high-end sporting goods. Where life-cycle cost, weight, and corrosion control dominate, titanium pays for itself.

Preguntas frecuentes
Commercially pure Grade 1 and 2, plus alpha-beta alloys such as Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) for strength and Grade 23 (ELI) for implants; Grade 7 adds palladium for corrosion resistance.
Titanium instantly forms a stable, self-healing oxide film that resists seawater, chlorides, and most acids, making it near-immune in marine and chemical service.
About 4.51 g/cm3 – roughly 60% of steel’s density and only slightly heavier than aluminum, giving the best strength-to-weight ratio of structural metals.
Yes. Grades such as Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) and ELI Grade 23 are biocompatible and widely used for implants, screws, and dental devices.
