Titanium Bar —  Export Supply from Baoji Titanium Valley

A titanium bar is the feedstock for flanges, fasteners, machined parts, and medical implants. We stock round, hex, and forged bar in Gr2, Gr5 and Gr23, 20–300 mm, ASTM B348, cut to length from inventory. Grade 2 for corrosion service, Gr5 for strength, Gr23 (ELI) for medical implants.

1. What Titanium Bar Is and Where It Is Used

Titanium Bar is specified wherever stainless steel fails by corrosion but the part must stay light, strong, or biocompatible. Typical uses:

• Flange blanks and forged flange machining rings
• High-strength aerospace fasteners aerospace fasteners
• TC4 rod for CNC CNC-machined structural parts
• Gr23 medical bar orthopedic implants (Gr23)
• hex titanium bar hex bar for wrenching components

2. Grade Selection

: Which Titanium to Specify

Grade 2 bar is used where corrosion resistance matters more than strength. Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) — see Gr5 titanium bar stock — is the high-strength aerospace grade for aerospace fasteners fasteners and TC4 rod for CNC CNC parts. Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) — Gr23 medical bar — is the medical-implant grade with tighter interstitial limits. Forged bar (forged bar for flanges) is the starting form for flange making.

3. Standards and Dimensions to State on the RFQ

State the governing standard, dimensions, and tolerance up front so quotes are comparable. For Titanium Bar this is usually the relevant ASTM/ASME grade plus your drawing or nominal size. Insist on mill-test certification with heat-number traceability.

4. Titanium Bar in Seawater and Chloride Service

For open, aerated seawater Grade 2 is the default; where the service is reducing, acidic, or has stagnant/creviced zones, step up to Grade 7 (Ti-0.15Pd). Keep flow velocity in the 1–2 m/s band to prevent deposit-driven crevice attack. Related reading: seawater desalination plate and Grade 7 seawater exchanger.

5. The Limitation You Must Know

: Where Titanium Bar Fails

Gr5 has lower chloride corrosion resistance than Gr2 and is harder to weld for thin sections, so do not substitute it where the part sees seawater. Titanium bar is not for strong oxidising acids, dry halogens, or hot concentrated reducing acids. In seawater, prefer Gr2 or Gr5 with proper design; for reducing acidic duty consider Gr7/12 forms.

6. Sizing and Specification Checklist (RFQ-Ready)

1. Grade and temper (Gr2 / Gr5 / Gr7 / Gr12 / Gr23) with the reason above.
2. Dimensions — size, thickness/OD, length, or bore as applicable.
3. Standard (ASTM/ASME/EN) and tolerance class.
4. Quantity and lot — single piece or batch.
5. Surface finish — pickled, polished, machined, or as-rolled.
6. Certificate — EN 10204 3.1 with heat number.
7. NDT requirement — RT/PT/ET where the code demands it.
8. Packing and destination — export packing and freight.
9. Diameter tolerance and straightness
10. Form: round / hex / forged / flat

7. Common Procurement Mistakes

• Using Gr5 in a seawater part expecting Gr2-level corrosion resistance
• Assuming all ‘titanium bar’ is implant-grade (Gr23 has tighter chemistry)
• Skipping EN 10204 plate cert-style traceability on aerospace/medical orders

8. Round, Hex or Forged — Pick the Right Bar Form

Round bar (round bar cut to length) is universal for machining; hex titanium bar hex bar is for nuts and wrenching parts; forged bar (forged bar for flanges) gives the grain flow needed for flange rings and pressure parts. We hold 20/50/100 mm diameter bar common diameters and cut to length.

9. Why Buy From a Baoji Titanium-Valley Stockist

We hold ~800 tons of titanium and nickel inventory in Baoji, China’s Titanium Valley, and cut to size the same day. That means small MOQ, fast dispatch, and the ability to supply both standard stock and non-standard parts to drawing — without a minimum-lot penalty. Every lot ships with MTC and export documentation.

11. FAQ — Titanium Bar

What titanium bar grades do you stock?

Gr2, Gr5, Gr23, and Gr7 in round, hex, and forged forms, 20 to 300 mm diameter.

Which bar for flanges?

Forged Gr2 or Gr5 bar gives the grain flow and strength for flange rings; see our flange-machining service.

Is Grade 5 bar corrosion resistant?

Gr5 is strong but less chloride-resistant than Gr2; for seawater use Gr2 or design around it.

What is Gr23 bar used for?

Medical implants — it is the ELI (extra-low interstitial) version of Gr5 with tighter chemistry.

Can you cut bar to length?

Yes — cut to length from inventory, including 20/50/100 mm diameter bar common sizes.

What certification?

ASTM B348 / B381 with EN 10204 3.1 and heat-number traceability.

Do you export titanium bar?

Yes — worldwide from Baoji Titanium Valley with export packing.

Summary: Choose by Service, Not by Habit

Choose Gr2 bar if corrosion service dominates. Choose Gr5 if strength-to-weight is the driver (aerospace, structural). Choose Gr23 if the part is a medical implant. Choose forged form if the part is a flange or pressure component.
