Grade 2 (3.7035)
Applications
Chemical Processes: Grade 2 titanium proves useful in chemical processes, since it is highly resistant to chemical environments including oxidizing media, alkaline media, organic acids and compounds, aqueous salt solutions and hot gases. Its corrosion resistance holds up in liquid metals, nitric acid, mildly reducing acids and wet chlorine or bromine gas. Grade 2 titanium is also used to manufacture heat exchangers and cryogenic vessels.

Marine: In seawater, Grade 2 is fully resistant to corrosion at temperatures up to 600 F, rendering it ideal for a variety of marine uses. It is suitable for condensers and evaporators, as well as the titanium tubing and tube headers in desalination plants.
Aerospace: As with other applications where corrosion resistance and formability are essential, Grade 2 titanium proves useful in the aerospace industry. In addition totitanium sheet for airframe skins, this pure grade is ideal for ductwork, brackets and galley equipment.
Other Applications: Grade 2 titanium has a variety of other uses, not limited to power generation, hydrocarbon processing, CPI equipment, architecture, and automotive and medical uses. It is also used to produce baskets, jigs, cathodes and starter-sheet blanks for the electroplating industry.
