What is commercially pure titanium (CP Ti)?

Commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) refers to titanium with a content of over 99%, containing almost no alloying elements. Its properties mainly depend on the control of trace impurities such as oxygen and iron, which determine the strength and ductility of different grades. Grade 1 offers the highest ductility, Grade 2 provides the most balanced overall performance, while Grades 3 and 4 deliver higher strength.

Compared with titanium alloys, CP Ti has several irreplaceable advantages:

Thanks to these properties, CP Ti is widely used in chemical equipment, seawater desalination, aerospace structures, medical implants, and energy engineering, making it a critical material in modern high-end manufacturing.

Overview of commercially pure titanium grades

Commercially pure titanium (CP Ti) is mainly divided into four grades: Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, and Grade 4. The differences among them primarily arise from varying oxygen and iron content, which directly affect the material’s strength and ductility.

Grade 1 titanium

UNS: R50250

Lowest strength, but excellent ductility and outstanding corrosion resistance.

Highest strength among commercially pure titanium grades, commonly used in aerospace and high-pressure equipment.

All four grades of commercially pure titanium share common properties such as light weight, non-magnetic behavior, and biocompatibility, but their application focus differs. Grade 1 is more suitable for chemical and medical uses, Grade 2 is the most common engineering material, while Grades 3 and 4 are mainly used in industries with higher strength requirements.

Standards and specifications for commercially pure titanium
