Titanium Plate —  Export Supply from Baoji Titanium Valley

A Titanium Plate is the starting form for most fabricated parts — vessels, tube sheets, baffles, and structural skins. We stock commercially pure Gr1/Gr2 and alloyed Gr5/Gr7/Gr12 from 0.5 mm to 100 mm thick, and cut to your drawing the same day. Grade 2 covers seawater and neutral chlorides; Grade 7 adds palladium for reducing or acidic chloride; Grade 12 adds strength plus a wider reducing-acid window.

1. What ://www.sxqytd.com/product/titanium-plate.html target='_blank'>Titanium Plate Is and Where It Is Used

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

• Seawater desalination equipment and shell plates
• Chlor-alkali cell components and wet-chlorine service
• Tube sheets and baffles for titanium heat exchangers
• Chemical-tank walls and liners (often as titanium clad plate)
• Aerospace and medical structural skins (Gr5 / Gr23)

2. Grade Selection

: Which Titanium to Specify

Grade 2 is the default for seawater, desalination, and most neutral chloride service — see our seawater plate. Grade 7 (Ti-0.15Pd) is specified where the environment is reducing or marginally acidic, such as chlor-alkali — see Gr7 acid plate. Grade 12 (Ti-0.3Mo-0.8Ni) is chosen when you need higher strength with moderate reducing-acid resistance; Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) for structural parts needing high strength-to-weight. Thin gauge down to 0.5 mm is available from thin titanium plate.

3. Standards and Dimensions to State on the RFQ

State the governing standard, dimensions, and tolerance up front so quotes are comparable. For Titanium Plate 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 Plate 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 Plate Fails

Titanium plate is the wrong choice for strong oxidising acids (concentrated nitric), dry halogens, or hot concentrated reducing acids — in those, zirconium or a lined construction outperforms. In air-free reducing acid at high concentration, un-alloyed Gr2 can lose its passive film; move to Gr7 or Gr12, or change material. Plate also costs more per kg than carbon steel, so do not specify it for non-corrosive duty.

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. Thickness tolerance (e.g. ±0.1 mm for thin gauge)
10. Surface finish: pickled, polished, or as-rolled

7. Common Procurement Mistakes

• Ordering one grade for every service instead of matching Gr2/Gr7/Gr12 to the fluid
• Ignoring the EN 10204 plate cert (EN 10204 3.1) and heat-number traceability
• Specifying full plate when a cut-to-size plate cut-to-size piece would avoid scrap

8. The Zero-Cutting Advantage for Small Batches

Most buyers do not need a full plate. Our cut-to-size plate service cuts exact rectangles and shapes from stock at small MOQ, so you pay for material used, not a whole sheet. This matters for spares, prototypes, and tube-sheet blanks.

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 Plate

What thickness of titanium plate do you stock?

From 0.5 mm thin sheet up to 100 mm plate, including 6 mm and 10 mm common sizes, cut to size from Baoji stock.

Which grade for seawater service?

Grade 2 for open aerated seawater; Grade 7 where stagnation or mild acidity is expected. Both resist chloride pitting that destroys 316L stainless.

Can you cut plate to a drawing?

Yes — CNC and waterjet cutting from stock, small MOQ, same-day dispatch for standard shapes.

What certificate comes with the plate?

EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate with heat-number traceability to the actual coil, per ASTM B265.

Is titanium plate stronger than steel?

Gr5 titanium matches many steels on strength at roughly half the weight, but for pure corrosion service Gr2 is selected for its passive film, not strength.

Can titanium plate replace stainless in chlor-alkali?

Yes — Grade 7 plate is standard for wet chlorine and chlor-alkali where 316L fails by pitting and crevice corrosion.

Do you export titanium plate?

Yes — we ship from Baoji Titanium Valley worldwide with export packing and full MTC documentation.

Summary: Choose by Service, Not by Habit

Choose Grade 2 plate if the service is aerated seawater, brine, or neutral chloride. Choose Grade 7 if it is reducing, acidic, or chlor-alkali. Choose Grade 12 if you need strength plus reducing-acid resistance. Choose a different material if the fluid is strong oxidising acid or dry halogen.
