Welded Titanium Pipe

Welded titanium pipes are precision-engineered piping solutions designed for industries requiring lightweight strength, extreme corrosion resistance, and superior durability. Made from CP Titanium or titanium alloys, these pipes offer 40-50% weight savings compared to steel while maintaining excellent mechanical properties in harsh environments, including aerospace, chemical processing, marine, and oil & gas applications.

The welded construction ensures cost-effective production while meeting stringent standards for pressure and structural integrity. With seamless alternatives available for high-pressure applications, welded titanium pipes provide a versatile, high-performance solution for industries demanding longevity, reliability, and reduced maintenance costs.

Key Features & Benefits

Common Titanium Material

Grade 1 (CP Titanium):

High ductility, excellent for forming and welding

Ideal for chemical processing and marine environments

Grade 2 (Commercially Pure):

Optimal balance of strength and corrosion resistance

Used in power plants, desalination, and medical devices

Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V):

Ultra-high strength (950 MPa tensile)

Withstands extreme temperatures (-250°C to 500°C)

Preferred for aerospace, defense, and high-pressure oil & gas

Superior Corrosion Resistance

Immune to saltwater, acids (HCl, H₂SO₄), and chlorine

No galvanic corrosion (unlike stainless steel)

Biocompatible (medical implants, pharmaceutical processing)

Lightweight Yet Strong

45% lighter than steel pipes

Higher strength-to-weight ratio than aluminum

Reduces structural load in aircraft, ships, and industrial systems
