1. High strength and high toughness, with outstanding overall performance: GR3 pure titanium plates offer stable mechanical properties, with a tensile strength of ≥450 MPa and a yield strength of 380–550 MPa in the annealed state, as well as an elongation of ≥18%. Their hardness and load-bearing capacity far exceed those of conventional GR1 and GR2 titanium plates. While maintaining high strength, it retains excellent ductility and demonstrates outstanding resistance to fatigue, impact, and deformation. It can withstand alternating loads and high-pressure conditions over the long term without deformation or fracture, making it suitable for heavy-duty industrial applications.
2. Superior corrosion resistance for harsh environments: It offers excellent resistance to acid, alkali, seawater, and moisture corrosion, withstanding erosion from chloride, acid-alkali solutions, organic media, and humid atmospheres. Its resistance to pitting, crevice, and stress corrosion far exceeds that of stainless steel. It resists rust, oxidation, and aging during long-term use in seawater and chemical corrosive media, significantly extending equipment service life and reducing operational and maintenance costs.
3. Lightweight and Low Density, Energy-Efficient and Performance-Enhancing: With a material density of only 4.51 g/cm³—far lower than that of steel—it offers lighter weight while maintaining equivalent strength. This effectively reduces the dead weight of equipment, machinery, and components, improving operational efficiency. It is widely suited for lightweight structural design requirements and is commonly used in the aerospace, marine, and high-end equipment manufacturing sectors.
4. Excellent Machinability and Weldability: The material is uniform and pure, with no impurity segregation, allowing for easy precision machining such as bending, stamping, cutting, turning, and polishing, making it suitable for the production of various irregularly shaped parts. Additionally, it offers stable weldability, producing aesthetically pleasing, high-strength welds free of brittle cracks, with high production yields, and is suitable for a wide range of custom processing requirements.
5. Non-toxic, non-magnetic, and high-temperature resistant—safe and reliable: GR3 pure titanium is non-toxic, harmless, and highly biocompatible. It is non-magnetic and does not become magnetized. It exhibits excellent high-temperature resistance, with a long-term operating temperature of up to 500°C, and does not become brittle in low-temperature environments. Its stable performance meets safety standards for use in medical, food, precision instrument, and high-temperature industrial equipment applications.
6. Superior Craftsmanship and Consistent Quality: Produced using vacuum melting, high-precision rolling, and vacuum annealing processes, the sheets feature a smooth, flat surface with precise tolerances, free of scale, cracks, or pores. The material exhibits high consistency, ensuring uniform performance across every batch, and reliably meets the demands of mass production and precision assembly.
