Titanium CP1 Grade 4 is the softest and most ductile of all the titanium grades. It has excellent corrosion resistance and high impact toughness and is generally the material of choice for any application where ease of formability is required.
Titanium CP1 Grade 4 is most commonly applied in the aerospace, chemical processing and paper industries. It possesses outstanding corrosion resistance and ductility, not only this, it has excellent resistance to corrosion fatigue in seawater meaning it’s also well suited to marine components.
This alloy is also very resistant to many chemical environments including oxidizing media, alkaline media, organic compounds and acids, aqueous salt solutions, and wet or dry hot gases. It also has sufficient corrosion resistance in liquid metals, nitric acid, mildly reducing acids, and wet chlorine or bromine gas.
Titanium CP1 Grade 4 has the highest strength of the CP grades, making it competitive with stainless steels for many corrosion resistant applications. Its strength is on a par with annealed stainless steels, and, in addition, it offers lighter weight and superior corrosion resistance. Titanium CP1 Grade 4 is not subject to grain boundary embrittlement or sensitization at elevated temperatures. Specific strength (strength/density) provides a way to compare materials based on a combination of strength and weight.
With an inventory that includes over two dozen grades of Nickel, duplex, titanium, stainless and super alloys in plate, sheet bar, pipe and fittings we are well placed to provide customers with metal alloys that display strength and high resistance to heat/corrosion in even the most extreme environments. Our strength lies in the fact that not only do we provide a wide range of outstanding alloys, our outstanding processing capabilities allow us to deliver the ultimate in stock sized materials and custom cut parts.
