Grade 9 titanium rod

Product Introduction

Grade 9 Titanium Rod (Ti-3Al-2.5V) — High Strength, Superior Formability for Demanding Industrial Applications

Grade 9 titanium rod, designated Ti-3Al-2.5V, is an alpha-beta alloy combining 3% Aluminum, 2.5% Vanadium, and balance Titanium. It is known in the industry as “half-6-4”. It provides 20–50% more tensile strength than the commercially pure grades, but with outstanding cold workability and weldability to balance strength and formability. This rod is produced by Baoji Huacan, which has over 10 years expertise in machining titanium, over 40 precise CNC machines, and over 1,000 tons of capacity annually. Support custom size, OEM/ODM, manufacture according to drawing. 

Material Advantages & Specifications

01 Material Advantages

• Strength-Formability Balance: Grade 9 delivers 20–50% higher tensile strength than CP Grade 2 while remaining cold-formable — something Grade 5 cannot offer.
• Excellent Weldability: You can TIG weld this alloy using matching ERTi-9 filler wire. It's compatible with Grade 2-to-Grade 5 transitional joints, which simplifies complex fabrication.
• Corrosion Resistance: Ti-3Al-2.5V performs reliably in seawater, chemical environments, and high-humidity conditions — outlasting steel and many stainless alloys.
• Lightweight Advantage: Roughly 40% lighter than steel at comparable strength levels, reducing dead weight in structural and mobile applications.
• Two Supply Conditions Available: Annealed condition offers maximum ductility for forming. CWSR condition provides higher strength and fatigue resistance — specify the condition based on your machining and performance needs.

Product Application

• Aerospace Hydraulic Systems: The CWSR condition gives grade 9 titanium rod the fatigue resistance needed for hydraulic tubing, actuator rods, and structural airframe components.
• Chemical Processing: Its corrosion resistance in acid and chloride environments makes it ideal for heat exchanger supports, chemical pump shafts, and reactor internals.
• Sporting & Bicycle Industry: Lightweight rods are used in high-performance bicycle frames, golf shafts, and outdoor equipment where weight savings are critical.
• Medical Instrumentation: Where ductility and biocompatibility are both required — such as surgical tools and medical tubing — Ti-3Al-2.5V outperforms rigid Grade 5 implant alloys.
• Marine & Energy: Seawater corrosion resistance makes this alloy suitable for offshore structural components and desalination equipment.

Be used in a wide range of industries.
