Titanium Grade 1 vs Grade 2 vs Grade 5 vs Grade 23
| Grade | Type | UNS Reference | Typical ASTM References | Common Buyer Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 1 | Commercially pure titanium | UNS R50250 | ASTM B265, B338, B348 and B381 as applicable | Maximum formability, corrosion-resistant sheets, plates, strips and formed components. |
| Grade 2 | Commercially pure titanium | UNS R50400 | ASTM B265, B338, B348, B861, B862 and B381 as applicable | General-purpose corrosion resistance for chemical, marine, heat exchanger and industrial equipment. |
| Grade 5 | Ti-6Al-4V alloy | UNS R56400 | ASTM B265, B348, B381 and F1472 as applicable | High-strength aerospace, fasteners, machined parts, structural and performance components. |
| Grade 23 | Ti-6Al-4V ELI | UNS R56407 | ASTM F136, B348 and B265 as applicable | Medical, surgical-related, precision, aerospace and high-integrity applications where specified. |
Final grade selection should follow the drawing, project specification, service environment, testing scope and documentation requirement. Titanium Grade 5 or Grade 23 is not automatically better than commercially pure titanium; each grade serves a different procurement need.
Titanium vs Stainless Steel Comparison
| Factor | Titanium | Stainless Steel | Buyer Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | Lower density and strong strength-to-weight positioning. | Generally heavier for the same component volume. | Titanium is often reviewed when weight reduction is important. |
| Corrosion service | Commonly selected for seawater, chemical and chloride-related service where specified. | Broad grade range from general fabrication to high-alloy corrosion service. | The right material depends on grade, environment, temperature and design. |
| Fabrication | Requires grade-aware machining, welding and handling controls. | Widely fabricated across general industrial shops. | Share drawings and fabrication notes when requesting titanium. |
| Commercial fit | Application-driven selection for specific high-performance needs. | Often practical for general industrial, structural and process requirements. | Rubinox can help review the enquiry details without assuming one material suits every case. |

Aerospace and High-Performance Engineering Applications
Titanium Grade 5 is commonly reviewed for aerospace and high-performance engineering components where strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance and project specifications justify titanium alloy selection. Grade 23 may be considered where ELI requirements, precision parts or high-integrity documentation are specified.
- Bars, rods, sheets and plates for machined components.
- Fasteners, precision parts and drawing-based items.
- Material test certificates, traceability and inspection documentation where required.
Medical and Precision Applications
Titanium Grade 23, also known as Ti-6Al-4V ELI, is commonly specified for medical, surgical-related and precision applications where the buyer defines the correct standard, certificate and traceability requirement. Rubinox does not provide regulatory certification; buyers should share the exact standard and documentation scope.
- Precision machined components and instrument-related parts.
- Grade 2 and Grade 23 enquiries where project standards specify them.
- Certificate, inspection, finish and traceability requirements at enquiry stage.
Chemical Processing, Marine and Heat Exchanger Service
Titanium Grade 2 is a common workhorse for corrosion-resistant industrial service, including chemical processing, marine equipment, condensers and heat exchangers. Grade 1 may be reviewed when formability is the main requirement, while alloy grades are selected when strength or project standards require them.
- Heat exchangers, condensers and process equipment.
- Marine, seawater, desalination and coastal applications.
- Chemical plant parts, piping, fittings and fabricated items.
Titanium Buyer Specification Guide
A complete titanium enquiry should include the details needed to identify the correct material, route, inspection scope and delivery requirement.
- Grade and UNS reference: Grade 1 R50250, Grade 2 R50400, Grade 5 R56400 or Grade 23 R56407.
- ASTM, ASME, EN or project specification with revision if available.
- Product form, size, thickness, OD, schedule, class, length or drawing dimensions.
- Finish, condition, machining, fabrication or packing requirement.
- MTC, PMI, third-party inspection, dimensional report or traceability requirement.
- Quantity, delivery location, timeline and end-use notes.

Titanium Supply FAQs
Which titanium grades does Rubinox supply?
Rubinox can support enquiries for Titanium Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 5 and Grade 23 in common product forms such as sheets, plates, pipes, tubes, bars, rods, flanges, fittings, fasteners and drawing-based components.
What is the difference between Titanium Grade 1 and Grade 2?
Grade 1 is commercially pure titanium with excellent formability, while Grade 2 is a widely used commercially pure grade for corrosion-resistant industrial service. The right grade depends on strength, formability, standard, size and application requirements.
How does Titanium Grade 5 compare with Grade 23?
Grade 5 is Ti-6Al-4V, a high-strength titanium alloy used for aerospace, fasteners, machined parts and performance components. Grade 23 is Ti-6Al-4V ELI and is often specified where ELI chemistry, precision or medical-related standards are required.
What is the UNS number for Titanium Grade 2?
Titanium Grade 2 is commonly associated with UNS R50400. Buyers should mention the grade, UNS reference, ASTM or project specification, product form, size and testing requirement when sending an enquiry.
Which ASTM standards should buyers mention?
Common titanium standards include ASTM B265 for sheet and plate, ASTM B338 for tubes, ASTM B348 for bars, ASTM B381 for forgings, ASTM B861 for seamless pipe and ASTM B862 for welded pipe. Medical-related alloy enquiries may specify ASTM F136 or ASTM F1472 where applicable.
Is titanium suitable for aerospace applications?
Titanium Grade 5 and selected titanium alloys are commonly reviewed for aerospace and high-performance engineering applications because of their strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Final suitability depends on the buyer drawing, material specification, testing and documentation requirement.
Is titanium suitable for medical applications?
Titanium Grade 23 is often specified for medical, surgical-related and precision applications where the buyer defines the correct standard and certificate requirement. Rubinox does not provide regulatory certification; buyers should share the required specification and documentation scope.
Which titanium grade is commonly used in chemical processing?
Titanium Grade 2 is commonly reviewed for chemical processing, marine, heat exchanger and condenser applications due to its corrosion-resistant positioning. Grade selection should still follow service conditions, project standards, fabrication needs and inspection requirements.
What details are required for a titanium quotation?
Share the grade, UNS reference if available, ASTM or project standard, product form, size, quantity, finish, testing or certificate requirement, application, delivery location and timeline. Drawings are helpful for machined or custom components.
