Description of Titanium Rod, Titanium Bar
Titanium, symbolized by Ti and having an atomic number of 22, is a lustrous silver-gray metal renowned for its exceptional strength, lightweight nature, excellent corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. These properties make it indispensable across a range of industries, including aerospace and medical sectors. Titanium is offered in various grades, each tailored for specific applications and classified by their chemical composition and mechanical characteristics. Notable grades include Commercially Pure (CP) Titanium and various Titanium Alloys.
Grade 1: Soft and ductile with excellent corrosion resistance; used in chemical processing, marine applications, and medical devices.
Grade 2: Most widely used grade, balancing strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance; common in aircraft construction and chemical processing.
Grade 3: Stronger than Grade 2 but less ductile; suited for industrial and marine applications requiring higher strength.
Grade 4: The strongest commercially pure titanium grade; ideal for aerospace components and medical implants.
Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V): The most common titanium alloy, offering high strength and good weldability; widely used in aerospace and medical applications.
Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI): Similar to Grade 5 but with lower impurities, making it preferable for medical implants.
Grade 7: Similar to Grade 2, but with added palladium for enhanced corrosion resistance, especially in chemical processing.

Titanium Rod/Bar manufacturing and treatment processes
Raw Material Preparation
- Titanium Sponge: Titanium ore is processed into titanium sponge using methods like the Kroll process.
- Melting: The sponge is melted in a vacuum arc remelting (VAR) furnace to create titanium ingots.
Forming
- Forging: The titanium ingots are heated and forged into rough shapes. This process improves grain structure and mechanical properties.
- Rolling: The forged material may be rolled to achieve the desired thickness and shape.
Machining
- Cutting: The rolled or forged titanium is cut into specific lengths to produce rods or bars.
- Turning: Precision machining may be applied to achieve the final dimensions and surface finish.
Heat Treatment
- Annealing: The rods and bars are heat-treated to relieve internal stresses and enhance ductility, often involving heating to specific temperatures followed by controlled cooling.
Surface Treatment
- Cleaning: The products are cleaned to remove any surface contaminants, often using pickling or other chemical methods.
- Finishing: Depending on requirements, further surface finishing processes such as polishing may be applied.
Application
- Orthopedic implants (hip and knee replacements)
- Dental implants
- Surgical instruments
- Biomedical devices
- Aerospace applications requiring superior toughness and strength
