Key Features
Titanium Spooled Wire is available in purities from 99.6% (2N6) to 99.99% (4N) in annealed, as-drawn, and hard tempers:
Self-Healing Titanium Oxide Passive Film
Titanium spontaneously forms and self-repairs a surface oxide layer that provides reliable corrosion resistance in seawater, chloride solutions, and a wide range of aggressive chemical environments where stainless steel and aluminum alloys are inadequate. This property holds across all purity grades in the range.
Non-Magnetic and Biocompatible
Titanium is non-magnetic and biocompatible, making it well suited to implantable device wire, surgical fixation components, and instrumentation used in MRI-compatible environments where magnetic interference must be eliminated.
Three Tempers for Different End Uses
The annealed condition provides maximum ductility for forming, winding, and TIG welding wire applications. As-drawn and hard tempers give the mechanical rigidity needed for spring wire, structural wire, and shaped contact components.
Purity Level is Operationally Meaningful Across the Range
Lower purity grades suit welding wire and structural applications where bulk mechanical and corrosion properties are the design driver. Higher purity grades (up to 4N) are selected where trace impurity content must be minimized for electrochemical, biomedical, or surface science applications.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Titanium’s combination of mechanical strength and low density (4.51 g/cm³) gives it a high strength-to-weight ratio, supporting lightweight structural wire applications in aerospace, marine, and medical device sectors where mass is a design constraint.
Industrial Applications
Titanium Spooled Wire is used across corrosion-resistant fabrication, biomedical device manufacture, and research wherever the self-healing passive oxide, non-magnetic character, and purity range determine material selection:
- ✦ TIG Welding Wire for Titanium Fabrication
- Annealed wire is used as TIG welding filler for titanium fabrication in aerospace, marine, and chemical processing, where grade-matched filler wire ensures consistent weld composition and corrosion resistance across the joint.
- ✦ Implantable Device Wire and Surgical Fixation Components
- Applied as wire for implantable devices and surgical fixation components, where confirmed biocompatibility, non-magnetic character for MRI compatibility, and the self-healing passive oxide’s corrosion resistance in physiological environments meet the combined requirements of biomedical device specifications.
- ✦ Spring Wire and Structural Wire in Corrosive Environments
- As-drawn and hard tempers are used as spring wire and structural wire in marine, chemical processing, and offshore environments, where the self-healing passive oxide maintains corrosion protection under the mechanical deformation and surface contact of service conditions.
- ✦ Electrochemical Studies and Hydrogen Storage Research
- Higher-purity grades are used in electrochemical studies and hydrogen storage and absorption investigations, where controlled trace impurity levels and the well-characterized passive oxide surface support reproducible experimental results.
- ✦ Surface Modification and Implantable Sensor Development
- Used in surface modification research and implantable sensor development, where a lightweight, corrosion-resistant, biocompatible substrate with defined purity and the coil format’s compatibility with automated processing support systematic experimental programmes.
