Titanium Grade 4 Product Description

Overview

Titanium Grade 4 is the highest-strength member of the commercially pure (unalloyed) titanium grades. This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / ASME / UNS) standard system.

With the highest interstitial (oxygen and iron) content of the commercially pure grades, Titanium Grade 4 offers the highest strength of the unalloyed titanium grades while retaining good formability and weldability. The higher oxygen raises strength at the expense of some ductility relative to the lower grades. It combines this strength with the excellent corrosion resistance characteristic of titanium — a stable, self-healing oxide film gives high resistance to seawater, chlorides, nitric acid and many oxidizing media — together with good weldability and excellent biocompatibility, and is suited to strength up to about 200 °C with oxidation resistance to about 315 °C.

Typical applications include plate heat exchangers and condenser tubing, deep-drawn and severely formed components, chemical and marine equipment, cryogenic vessels, cathodic-protection anodes, and medical implants and surgical instruments.

1. Physical Properties

Property Value Unit
Density 4.51 g/cm³
Melting point 1670 °C
Elastic modulus 103 GPa
Coefficient of thermal expansion (20–100 °C) 8.6 µm/m·°C
Thermal conductivity (20 °C) 16 W/m·K
Specific heat (20 °C) 523 J/kg·K
Structure Alpha (hexagonal close-packed)

2. Chemical Composition (wt %)

Element Symbol Min % Max % Role in Alloy
Titanium Ti Balance Base element (≥99.0%)
Oxygen O 0.40 Interstitial; strength vs ductility
Iron Fe 0.50 Residual; highest of CP grades
Carbon C 0.08 Interstitial impurity
Nitrogen N 0.05 Interstitial impurity
Hydrogen H 0.015 Interstitial impurity

3. Mechanical Properties

Annealed condition, per ASTM B265 for UNS R50700.

Condition Property Value
Annealed Tensile strength (UTS) ≥550 MPa (80 ksi)
Annealed 0.2% yield strength 483–655 MPa (70–95 ksi)
Annealed Elongation at break ≥15 %
Annealed Hardness ~265 HB
Elastic modulus 103 GPa

Confirm against the mill test report. Properties cannot be increased by heat treatment; cold work raises strength.

4. Corrosion Resistance

Environment Performance Notes
Seawater / marine Excellent Self-healing oxide film
Chlorides / brine Excellent Resists pitting and crevice attack
Oxidizing acids (e.g. nitric) Excellent Stable passive film
Reducing acids Limited Less resistant than in oxidizing media
Chloride stress-corrosion cracking Excellent Highly resistant

The protective titanium-oxide film gives excellent resistance to seawater, chlorides and oxidizing media; resistance is lower in strongly reducing acids unless inhibited.

5. Heat Treatment

A commercially pure (alpha) titanium; not hardenable by heat treatment. Properties are set by annealing and cold work.

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; avoid hydrogen-bearing atmospheres.

6. Weldability and Joining

Excellent weldability with inert-gas processes; the weld must be fully shielded (including the root and cooling weld) from atmospheric contamination, which causes embrittlement.

Welding Process Applicability Filler / Consumable
GTAW / TIG Excellent AWS A5.16 ERTi-4 (matching)
GMAW / MIG Good ERTi-4
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 for CP titanium; avoid galling
Coolant Generous non-chlorinated coolant

Forming Processes

Process Notes
Cold forming Excellent — deep drawing, severe bending, stamping
Hot forming ~600–800 °C; protect from contamination; anneal afterward

Heat transfer Plate heat exchangers, condenser tubing Formability + corrosion resistance
Chemical / marine Pickling baskets, tanks, harsh-environment parts Corrosion resistance
