1. Tensile and Yield Strength of Grade 2 Titanium
Grade 2 titanium is an unalloyed, commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) with excellent corrosion resistance and moderate strength. Its mechanical properties are defined by international standards such as ASTM B348 (for forgings and bars) and ASTM B265 (for sheet, plate, and strip).
>= 0.345 GPa (345 MPa) (50,000 psi)
Yield Strength (0.2% Offset):
>= 0.275 GPa (275 MPa) (40,000 psi)
>= 20%
These values represent the minimum requirements for Grade 2 titanium in the annealed condition, which is the most common state for industrial applications.
2. Hardness of Grade 2 Titanium
The hardness of Grade 2 titanium is relatively low compared to alloyed titanium grades, reflecting its ductile nature.
Approximately 110 - 150 HB
Approximately 60 - 80 HRB
Approximately 280 - 320 HV
The hardness can vary slightly depending on the specific manufacturing process, heat treatment (e.g., annealing), and the thickness of the material.
