R53400 Product Description

Overview

R53400 is a corrosion-resistant titanium alloy containing about 0.3% molybdenum and 0.8% nickel. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / ASME / UNS) standard system.

With small additions of molybdenum and nickel rather than precious metals, R53400 combines excellent elevated-temperature strength with excellent weldability and notably improved crevice-corrosion resistance compared with the commercially pure grades. It offers higher strength than the unalloyed titanium grades and good resistance in both oxidizing and reducing environments, approaching the performance of the palladium-bearing grades in many hot, chloride-containing or low-pH media while being considerably more economical. It is a commercially pure wrought alloy that is readily formed and welded.

Typical applications include heat exchangers, chemical-processing and pulp-and-paper equipment, marine components, geothermal and brine-handling equipment, and vessels operating in hot chloride environments.

1. Physical Properties

Property Value Unit
Density 4.51 g/cm³
Melting point 1660 °C
Elastic modulus 103 GPa
Coefficient of thermal expansion (20–100 °C) 8.6 µm/m·°C
Thermal conductivity (20 °C) 19 W/m·K
Specific heat (20 °C) 540 J/kg·K
Structure Alpha (hexagonal close-packed)

2. Chemical Composition (wt %)

Element Symbol Min % Max % Role in Alloy
Titanium Ti Balance Base element
Molybdenum Mo 0.20 0.40 Strength; corrosion resistance
Nickel Ni 0.60 0.90 Crevice-corrosion resistance
Iron Fe 0.30 Residual
Oxygen O 0.25 Interstitial; strength
Carbon C 0.08 Interstitial impurity
Nitrogen N 0.03 Interstitial impurity
Hydrogen H 0.015 Interstitial impurity

3. Mechanical Properties

Annealed condition, per ASTM B265 for UNS R53400.

Condition Property Value
Annealed Tensile strength (UTS) ≥483 MPa (70 ksi)
Annealed 0.2% yield strength ≥345 MPa (50 ksi)
Annealed Elongation at break ≥18 %
Annealed Reduction of area ≥25 %
Elastic modulus 103 GPa

Confirm against the mill test report. Higher strength than the commercially pure grades; not strengthened by heat treatment.

4. Corrosion Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
Crevice corrosion (hot chlorides) Excellent Major advantage over CP grades
Reducing acids Very Good Better than unalloyed titanium
Oxidizing media Excellent Stable passive film
Seawater / brine Excellent Resists chloride attack
Elevated-temperature strength Very Good Retains strength when hot

The molybdenum and nickel additions give crevice-corrosion resistance well above the commercially pure grades — approaching the palladium-bearing grades in many hot chloride and low-pH media — at lower cost.

5. Heat Treatment

A corrosion-resistant titanium alloy; not hardenable by heat treatment. Properties are set by annealing.

Anneal Anneal at approximately 650–760 °C and air cool to relieve stress and restore ductility after cold work. Protect from oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen pickup at temperature.

6. Weldability and Joining

Excellent weldability with inert-gas processes; the weld pool and cooling weld must be fully shielded from atmospheric contamination, which causes embrittlement. Matching filler is used.

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG Excellent AWS A5.16 ERTi-12 (matching)
GMAW / MIG Good ERTi-12
Resistance / spot Good

Use full inert-gas shielding and clean, contamination-free surfaces; avoid hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen pickup.

7. Machinability and Fabrication

Machining Guidelines

Parameter Recommendation
Machinability Moderate; sharp tools, low speed, high feed
Work hardening Low-to-moderate; avoid galling
Coolant Generous non-chlorinated coolant

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Cold forming Good — bending, roll forming, drawing
Hot forming ~600–800 °C; protect from contamination; anneal afterward
