Titanium Grade 2 is slightly stronger than Grade 1, but otherwise shares a lot of the same qualities. It is also corrosion resistant. Grade 2 is known for its weldability. Like all other titanium grades, it is also strong. It does not lose its strength when it is deformed, making it very ductile and formable. Grade 2 Ti is usually purchased in bars, tubing, pipes, sheets and plates. The types of applications Grade 2 is used for include: architecture, power generation, medical industry, airframe skin, chemical processing, marine industry and hydro-carbon processing.
Available in four distinct grades (1, 2, 3, and 4), Titanium is classified by its corrosion resistance, ductility, and strength. CP Ti Gr. 1 has the highest corrosion resistance, formability, and lowest strength, whereas, CP Ti Gr. 4 offers the highest strength with moderate formability. The most desirable feature of CP Ti is its ability to osseointegrate within the human body. Titanium also offers a higher strength-to-weight ratio and increased corrosion resistance compared to the stainless steel alloys, thus making it an attractive choice for medical applications
Grade 2 has higher levels of iron and oxygen than other CP grades, which offers excellent formability and moderate strength with superior corrosion resistance. CP Grade 2 titanium is widely used in heat exchangers. CP2 is one of the most common titanium grades, with properties that make it a good candidate for chemical and marine, aerospace and medical applications
