TiNi0.7Mo0.3 is the designation for a corrosion-resistant titanium alloy containing about 0.3% molybdenum and 0.8% nickel. This datasheet presents the material within the EN symbol designation system.
With small additions of molybdenum and nickel rather than precious metals, TiNi0.7Mo0.3 combines excellent elevated-temperature strength with excellent weldability and notably improved crevice-corrosion resistance compared with the pure titanium grades. It is one of the low-alloy titanium materials developed for the chemical industry, offering higher strength than the unalloyed grades and good resistance in both oxidizing and reducing environments, approaching the palladium-bearing grades in many hot, chloride-containing or low-pH media while being considerably more economical. It 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.

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.
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.
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 | Matching Ti-0.3Mo-0.8Ni filler |
| GMAW / MIG | Good | Matching filler |
| Resistance / spot | Good | — |
Use full inert-gas shielding and clean, contamination-free surfaces; avoid hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen pickup.
Machining Guidelines
| Parameter | Recommendation |
