Lightweight High-Strength Titanium Fittings with Exceptional Corrosion Resistance
MicroTech Stainless Steel Co. supplies premium Titanium Pipe Fittings in Grade 2 (commercially pure), Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), Grade 7 (Ti-0.15Pd), and Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V) materials, engineered for applications demanding the highest strength-to-weight ratio combined with outstanding corrosion resistance. Titanium offers exceptional performance in seawater, chlorine, chloride solutions, and oxidizing/reducing acids where weight reduction is critical.
Grade 2 titanium provides excellent corrosion resistance in a wide range of environments with good formability and weldability. Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) is the workhorse aerospace alloy offering high strength (nearly twice that of commercial pure titanium) with density approximately 60% that of steel. Grade 7 adds palladium for enhanced crevice corrosion resistance in reducing acids and hot brine. Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V) provides intermediate strength with excellent cold formability and weldability.
Our titanium fittings are manufactured to ASME B16.9 and ASTM B363 standards in butt weld and socket weld configurations including elbows, tees, reducers, caps, and stub ends. Available in sizes from 1/2" to 12", each fitting undergoes comprehensive testing including chemical composition analysis, mechanical testing, dimensional inspection, and non-destructive testing to ensure reliable performance in aerospace, chemical processing, offshore, desalination, and military applications.
Titanium density is 43% lighter than steel with Grade 5 strength approaching high-strength steels. Ideal for weight-critical aerospace, marine, and racing applications requiring maximum performance.
Outstanding resistance to seawater, brackish water, and chloride environments. Passive titanium oxide film prevents corrosion in seawater indefinitely without coating or cathodic protection.
Excellent resistance to wet chlorine gas, chlorine dioxide, hypochlorite solutions, and strong oxidizing environments. Grade 7 excels in reducing acids and hot brine with palladium addition.
Maintains ductility and toughness at cryogenic temperatures down to -320°F (-195°C). No brittle transition temperature makes titanium ideal for LNG, liquid nitrogen, and space applications.
Excellent biocompatibility and osseointegration properties. Widely used in medical implants, surgical instruments, and pharmaceutical processing equipment requiring non-toxic, hypoallergenic materials.
Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) is the most widely used aerospace alloy. Meets AMS specifications for aircraft structures, jet engines, landing gear, and space vehicle components with full traceability.
