Our ASTM B863 Titanium Wire is a powerhouse for industrial and chemical processing, built to tackle the toughest environments where corrosion and durability are critical. Available in Grade 2 (commercially pure titanium) and Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V with 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium), this wire meets the strict ASTM B863 standard, ensuring top-notch quality for demanding applications. Whether it’s heat exchangers, piping systems, or chemical reactor components, our titanium wire delivers unmatched performance.
We offer this wire in diameters from 0.1mm to 10mm, in coils, spools, or custom-cut lengths to fit your project needs. Grade 2 shines for its corrosion resistance and formability, while Grade 5 brings extra strength for high-stress applications. Both resist aggressive chemicals like acids and chlorides, making them perfect for chemical plants and industrial settings. Lightweight and reliable, our wire helps optimize equipment efficiency while standing up to harsh conditions.
This titanium wire is a game-changer for industrial and chemical processing. Grade 2’s tensile strength of 345-450 MPa makes it strong enough for most applications, with excellent ductility for shaping into complex parts like valve components. Grade 5, with a tensile strength of 900-1000 MPa, is a beast for high-pressure systems, outpacing 316L stainless steel (485-620 MPa) in both strength and corrosion resistance. Unlike stainless steel, which can suffer chloride-induced pitting, our titanium wire stays corrosion-free in acidic and saline environments.
The lightweight nature of titanium—around 4.43-4.51 g/cm³ compared to stainless steel’s 8.0 g/cm³—means you can reduce equipment weight without sacrificing durability, a big win for efficiency-driven industries. Grade 2 handles temperatures up to 400°F (204°C), while Grade 5 pushes it to 600°F (316°C), covering a wide range of processing conditions. Grade 2’s formability makes it a breeze to work with, while Grade 5’s hardness requires our advanced machining techniques to deliver flawless results. Both grades are weldable, ensuring strong, corrosion-resistant joints for your systems.

The industrial and chemical processing sectors are buzzing with growth, and our ASTM B863 titanium wire is right in the mix. With global demand for chemical products rising, plants need materials that can handle corrosive substances like sulfuric acid or chlorine without breaking down. Titanium’s superior corrosion resistance makes it a top pick, especially as industries push for longer-lasting, low-maintenance equipment. The global chemical processing market is expected to grow steadily, and our wire is poised to meet that demand.
Sustainability is a big trend shaping the industry. Companies are looking for materials that reduce energy use and environmental impact. Our titanium wire’s lightweight properties help cut energy costs in processing equipment, while its durability reduces replacement frequency. Additive manufacturing is another hot topic, enabling custom components like intricate heat exchanger coils. Our wire is 3D-printing-ready, supporting innovative designs with minimal waste.
Cost is always a factor, as titanium’s production is more complex than stainless steel. But advancements in the Kroll process and titanium recycling are bringing costs down, and our optimized manufacturing keeps prices competitive. The industry’s shift toward green production aligns with our commitment to sustainable practices, ensuring our wire meets both performance and environmental goals.
Applications of ASTM B863 Titanium Wire
Our ASTM B863 titanium wire is a workhorse in industrial and chemical processing. Grade 2 is perfect for heat exchangers, piping, and valves exposed to corrosive chemicals, thanks to its formability and resistance to acids and chlorides. Grade 5 steps up for high-pressure systems like reactor vessels or pump components, where its strength shines. Both grades are used in chemical plants for equipment that needs to withstand aggressive environments without corroding or degrading.
Beyond chemical processing, our wire finds a home in other industries. In marine applications, it’s used for seawater-resistant fittings and cables. Aerospace relies on Grade 5 for structural components and Grade 2 for non-structural parts. Medical applications leverage both grades for biocompatible implants. But in industrial and chemical settings, this wire truly excels, keeping systems running smoothly in conditions that would eat away at lesser materials.
