Why Choose CP Titanium Grades R50250 and R50400?
CP Titanium is selected for its favorable strength to weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. Two levels of purity
permit a choice of finish strength.
The alloy can be formed from the annealed temper. Severe forming may be aided by an intermediate stress relief at 1000°F. Stress relieving may be appropriate after severe cold forming to remove residual stresses. Welding should be performed with inert gas shielded arc or spot welding.
Welding with active gases, coatings, or fluxes must be avoided to prevent embrittlement.
What Standard and Custom Sizes Are Available for CP Titanium Strip R50250 and R50400?
