Ti CP Gr.3

1. Introduce

– Pure titanium containing approximately 99% or more Ti

– Provides high strength compared to Ti Gr.1 and Gr.2, with similar ductility, formability and corrosion resistance

– Excellent strength over a temperature range of up to approximately 204°C

– Good oxidation resistance up to a temperature range of approximately 315°C

– UNS R50550

* CP Titanium

1. CP Titanium : unalloyed, commercially pure titanium grade(CP : Commercially Pure)
2. Grade types : Ti CP Gr.1, Gr.2, Gr.3, Gr.4
3. Elemental content
   → CP titanium has different contents of O, Fe, and N, and O, Fe, and N are treated as impurities in titanium
   (Increase or decrease of O, Fe, N: affects mechanical properties(yield strength, tensile strength, elongation))
   → Ti CP Gr.4 has the highest oxygen content
   (O : increases brittleness, decreases elongation, toughness, and high temperature stability)
4. Grades are ordered based on corrosion and formability
5. Higher grades increase strength and decrease formability

* Ti Gr.1 vs Ti Gr.2

– Ti Gr.1, Gr.2 : most impervious to impurities

– Ti Gr.1 : Highest ductility, low tensile stresses

– Ti Gr.2 : Excellent formability, yield and tensile strength, higher strength than Gr.1, suitable for surgical applications

* Ti CP vs Ti-6-4

– CP : α / β phase pure titanium

1. Allotropic transformation based on 882℃, α phase exists below 882℃ and β phase exists above 882℃
2. Mechanical properties of titanium change depending on the amount of α phase and β phase

– Ti-6-4 : α+β phase alloy titanium

1. Strength, machinability, weldability, and ability to withstand moderately high temperatures

* UNS

1. Abbreviation for Unified Numbering Systems for Metals and Alloys
2. Unified unique numbering system for metals and alloys
3. A representative number that is compatible with metals and alloys defined in many material-related codes such as ASTM, AISI, ASME, AWS, etc.

* R : Reactive and Refractory Metals and Alloys

* UNS R50550 : 5XXXX : Titanium

2. Property

– Excellent specific strength, biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, light weight

– Can be used in strong oxidizing to mildly reducing environments
