Gr1 vs Gr2

Both are industrial pure titanium. The difference is in the oxygen content. That changes how they behave.

Feature	Grade 1 (Gr1)	Grade 2 (Gr2)
Oxygen content	Lowest (purity)	Slightly higher than Gr1
Tensile strength	Lower (240 ksi)	Higher
Yield strength	Lower (170 ksi)	Higher
Ductility / Elongation	Very high (24%)	High (still good)
Cold working	Excellent – deep drawing, complex bends	Good – light to medium forming
Forming difficulty	Easiest	Easy
Welding	Excellent	Excellent
Load capacity	Low to medium	Medium
Corrosion resistance	Excellent	Excellent (close to Gr1)
Most common use	Complex shapes, thin-wall parts	General industrial, higher stress

Quick rule of thumb:

Need to bend it into a complicated shape? → Gr1

Need it to hold more weight? → Gr2

Chemical composition – Grade 1

Low oxygen, plain and simple. That's what makes it soft. You can bend it, shape it, do whatever you need – it won't crack. We also keep iron, carbon, and nitrogen low. Fewer hard spots. Fewer inclusions.

Why buy from us?

We've been in this business long enough to know that what's written on a datasheet doesn't always match what shows up at your loading dock.

So we run each batch of Titanium plate ASTM B265 industrial grade through actual dimension checks before it ships. We don't guess. We measure.

No assembly gaps – thickness tolerance is actually ±0.05 mm
No warping headaches – flatness is actually ≤2.0 mm/m
No surface prep delays – Ra ≤0.4 μm, ready to go
No waiting forever – we keep stock for urgent projects

Tell us your size, grade, and quantity. We'll send you a quote with a lead time you can actually rely on.

FAQ

Q: What's the thickness tolerance?

A: ±0.05 mm. That's our standard, not a best-case number.

Q: Can you cut plates to custom sizes?

A: No problem. We cut to your exact dimensions. Need circles, rings, strips, or blanks? We do those too.

Q: Do you have stock for urgent projects?

A: Yes. We keep a rolling stock of Titanium plate ASTM B265 industrial grade in the most common sizes. Ship in 7–10 days. In a rush? We can often do 3–5 days. Just ask.

Q: Which grade should I pick?

A: Gr1 for complex forming (deep drawing, tight bends). Gr2 for higher strength. Not sure? Tell us what you're making – we'll help you pick.
