Line up（5）
| Model number | overview |
|---|---|
| Pure titanium (JIS Grade 1) [Most common; standard material] | This is the softest grade of pure titanium specified in JIS H 4600, known for its excellent formability and weldability. It has very high corrosion resistance and maintains stable performance even in seawater and acidic environments. Although its strength is relatively low, it is easy to process, making it widely used in chemical equipment, heat exchangers, piping, and architectural design materials. It serves as a reference material for pure titanium, acting as a baseline for comparison with other grades. |
| Pure titanium (JIS Type 2) [Versatility No. 1] | This is the most commonly adopted representative grade among pure titanium. Compared to Grade 1, it has higher strength and excellent balance of corrosion resistance and workability. It has a wide range of applications, including chemical equipment, seawater piping, industrial devices, and the medical field, and is often referred to as the general-purpose material "if in doubt, choose Grade 2." It is also widely used as an alternative material in environments where stainless steel lacks corrosion resistance. |
| Pure Titanium (JIS Type 3) [Strength-Focused Type] | This is a type of steel with even higher strength than the two types, improving reliability as a structural member while maintaining corrosion resistance. Although workability is somewhat reduced, it is suitable for applications that require reduced plate thickness and pressure resistance. It is used in chemical equipment, pressure vessels, and structural members that require strength while maintaining corrosion resistance. |
| Pure Titanium (JIS Grade 4) [High Strength Pure Titanium] | This is a steel type with the highest strength among pure titanium. It has high tensile strength and can achieve both corrosion resistance and structural strength, but its formability and machinability are reduced. It is selected for applications that require a balance of weight reduction and high strength, as well as for structural material applications. Careful consideration of processing conditions is necessary, making application selection important. |
| Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) [High strength, high added value] | It is a representative α-β type titanium alloy with added aluminum and vanadium, which is also specified in the JIS standards. It has significantly higher strength and heat resistance compared to pure titanium and is used in the fields of aircraft, medical devices, and sports and industrial machinery. On the other hand, it is more difficult to process and costlier than pure titanium, making it a material for high value-added applications. |
