Titanium Grade 4 (UNS R50700)
- High resistance to corrosion
- Good formability and weldability
- Strongest among the commercially pure Titanium
- Less ductile compared to other grades
Description
Grade 4 Titanium is the strongest among the commercially pure Titanium. It can resist corrosion by acids and gases quite effectively. Being less malleable, it can be difficult to draw wires or thin sheets out of this material, but of course, in no way, this stops it from being a versatile component for various manufacturing industries.
Titanium grade 4 finds its use in a wide variety of fields like aerospace and medical industries. It tells us how reliable this material is in terms of strength, as it is used by the sectors dealing with human lives directly.

Key features:
- High corrosion resistance: Titanium grade 4 is excellent when it comes to corrosion resistive acids and gases. That is why it has paved its way in multiple machine parts that get exposed to such corrosive agents at work.
- Strong and reliable: Grade 4 is the strongest among the pure grade Titanium alloys. So, it can withstand more punishment compared to other grades. This strength is due to the highest allowable Oxygen and Iron content present in the grade.
- High weldability: Though being less ductile, CP-4 Titanium has appreciable weldability and formability. Thus, designing machine parts out of this grade is super easy and effective.
