Titanium Elbow

Titanium elbows meet ASTM B363 and ASME B16.9 standards.

They resist high temperatures and corrosion, and are ready for welding right out of the box after ultrasonic cleaning.

Formed in one piece with no wrinkles, they reduce weight and boost efficiency—an ideal choice for exhaust systems and industrial piping.

Titanium elbow standards

Our titanium elbows comply with international manufacturing and dimensional standards, including ASTM B363, ASME B16.9, ASME B36.19M, MSS-SP-43, and JIS B2312. EN 10204 3.1 material certificates are available upon request.

Standard marking is done by electrochemical etching, meeting ASME requirements for permanent identification.

We are certified to ISO 9001, GJB 9001, AS9100, PED, IATF 16949, and Lloyd’s Register (LR). Industry-specific compliance documents such as NACE MR0175 and NORSOK M-650 can also be provided.

Titanium elbow alloys

We offer a full range of titanium alloys, including Grade 1, 2, 5, 7, 9, and 12. These materials are widely used in industrial piping, seawater systems, and chemical processing equipment.

Butt-weld bevel titanium elbows

Precision-machined bevels ensure stronger weld joints. Widely used in medium to high-pressure industrial piping systems. Compliant with ASME B16.9.

Seamless titanium elbows

Formed from seamless titanium pipes through hot pressing or pushing. Smooth inner surface and solid structure make them ideal for high-demand, small to medium-diameter applications like exhaust and ultra-clean piping.

Welded titanium elbows

Fabricated by welding titanium plates or pipes. Suitable for large-diameter elbows in projects such as chemical processing, desalination, and water treatment.

Forged titanium elbows

Made from titanium bars or billets by die forging. Higher strength, perfect for high-pressure or mission-critical systems in petrochemical, marine, and defense sectors.

Stamped / cast titanium elbows

Stamping is ideal for mass production of small and mid-sized elbows, while casting suits non-standard or complex-shaped designs.

Surface finishing options

Titanium elbows commonly undergo pickling, sandblasting, or electropolishing to meet various needs—from industrial corrosion protection to ultra-clean process piping.

Anodizing and passivation are available to achieve both decorative color finishes and a stable TiO₂ oxide layer, meeting project requirements for appearance and corrosion resistance.

We can also customize surface finish standards—such as Ra value, passivation grade, and decorative color—based on your project requirements, ensuring both performance and appearance. Quick Quote

Titanium elbow advantages

• Excellent corrosion and fatigue resistance for long service life and reduced maintenance costs.
• Low density with high strength—superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to stainless steel, enabling weight reduction without sacrificing pressure capacity.
• Supports TIG and butt welding with stable performance and high assembly efficiency.
• Maintains structure and strength under high temperatures from 300–500 °C without deformation.
• Good toughness at low temperatures, no risk of embrittlement—ideal for extreme cold applications like LNG systems.
• Smooth inner walls reduce flow resistance and scaling, suitable for high-purity or corrosive media transport.
• Easy to cold bend, hot bend, and machine, perfect for customized non-standard designs.

Titanium elbow applications

Real case: titanium elbows used in U.S. automotive exhaust system

Velocity Motorsport, a California-based team specializing in American street and track car modifications, selected our Grade 2 90° and 45° seamless titanium elbows for their Toyota GR Supra (A90) exhaust upgrade project.

The goal was to reduce weight, lower temperatures, and improve exhaust flow without sacrificing power.

The original stainless steel exhaust system weighed nearly 18 kg. After switching to titanium elbows and mid-pipes, total weight dropped by about 45%, saving over 8 kg.

In real-world testing, engine bay temperature dropped by around 10 °C, weld joints were reduced by more than two, and exhaust backpressure significantly decreased.

The corrosion resistance and structural stability of the titanium elbows allowed the vehicle to maintain consistent performance during extended high-RPM and high-temperature runs.

No weld cracking or joint leakage occurred, earning high praise from multiple track customers.

Quality control & production assurance

We are equipped with advanced manufacturing and testing systems, including plasma welding machines, CNC machining centers, pipe pushing machines, plate rollers, spectrometers, and X-ray inspection.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Why is titanium called "titanium”?

The name "titanium” comes from the Titans in Greek mythology, symbolizing strength and durability. In 1795, German chemist Martin Klaproth discovered the element in rutile and named it after the Titans.

What is ASME B16.9?

ASME B16.9 is a manufacturing standard for industrial pipe fittings. It defines dimensions, tolerances, and forming requirements for elbows, tees, reducers, and includes both short-radius and long-radius elbows.

What's the difference between 90° and 45° titanium elbows?

A 90° elbow makes a sharp directional change, suitable for layouts where space allows. A 45° elbow provides a smoother transition, ideal for reducing pressure loss or for gradual turns.

Which high-temperature systems can use titanium elbows?

Titanium elbows withstand continuous temperatures up to 600°C, making them ideal for exhaust manifolds, turbo hot sides, and heat exchangers.

Are titanium elbows suitable for welding?

Yes. Titanium has excellent weldability and is commonly joined by TIG or butt welding. Our elbows are ultrasonically cleaned before delivery—ready to weld out of the box, saving installation time.
