Titanium Grades Chart & Material Specifications
Titanium is standardized into grades because industries require predictable, repeatable, and globally recognized material performance.
Commercially Pure Titanium and Titanium Alloys are divided into multiple grades to reflect differences in strength, ductility, corrosion resistance, weldability, and service environment.
These classifications allow engineers and procurement teams to specify materials with confidence across ASTM, ISO, GB/T, JIS, DIN, and GOST systems.
This chart provides the essential framework behind titanium grade classification and their engineering relevance.

Chemical Composition & Mechanical Properties
Each grade has defined limits for C, Fe, O, N, H and alloying elements. Mechanical properties include tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and hardness. These specifications ensure consistent performance across industries.
Applications of Titanium Grades
GR1–GR4: Chemical equipment, heat exchangers, pipelines
GR5 / GR23: Aerospace structures, surgical implants
GR7 / GR11 / GR12: Harsh corrosion environments (acid, chloride, petrochemical)
GR9: Aerospace tubing, high-performance bicycles
International Standards for Titanium
Titanium grades are standardized across multiple systems:
ASTM / AMS (USA)
GB/T (China)
ISO (International)
JIS (Japan)
DIN (Germany)
GOST (Russia)
Procurement must confirm the correct standard system to ensure material consistency.
