Titanium Wires

An Introduction to High-Performance Titanium Wires

Titanium wire is a highly versatile and technologically advanced material, prized for its unique combination of high strength, low density, and outstanding corrosion resistance. Its strength-to-weight ratio is one of the highest among all metallic elements, making it an essential component in industries where performance and reliability are non-negotiable.

Our titanium wires are manufactured through a meticulous process of drawing and annealing to achieve precise dimensional tolerances and superior surface finishes. From the deep oceans to the vastness of space, titanium wire provides a dependable solution for the most demanding engineering challenges. It is inherently biocompatible, non-toxic, and resistant to chlorides, saltwater, and a wide range of industrial chemicals, ensuring long-lasting performance in critical environments.

Common Titanium Wire Grades

We supply a variety of commercially pure (CP) and alloyed titanium grades. The table below outlines the most common grades and their primary characteristics.

Grade	Common Name(s)	Key Characteristics & Features	Typical Applications
Grade 1	CP Ti Grade 1	Highest purity, lowest strength, best ductility and formability. Excellent corrosion resistance.	Fine wire mesh, chemical processing anodes, architectural elements, medical implants where high formability is needed.
Grade 2	CP Ti Grade 2	The most widely used “workhorse” CP grade. A great balance of strength, ductility, and weldability.	Industrial fasteners, heat exchangers, piping systems, welding filler wire, eyeglass frames.
Grade 5	Ti-6Al-4V	The most common titanium alloy. High strength, low weight, good fabricability, and excellent corrosion resistance.	Aerospace structural components, high-performance engine parts, surgical implants, high-strength fasteners, and springs.
Grade 7	Ti-0.2Pd	Mechanically identical to Grade 2 but with enhanced corrosion resistance due to the addition of palladium.	Chemical processing equipment, especially in acidic chloride environments where crevice corrosion is a concern.
Grade 23	Ti-6Al-4V ELI	Extra Low Interstitial version of Grade 5. Superior ductility and fracture toughness. Excellent biocompatibility.	Dental and medical implants, surgical staples, orthodontic wires, bone fixation devices, and fracture plates.

Example Applications of Titanium Wires

The unique properties of titanium wire make it the material of choice across a wide spectrum of advanced industries.

Medical & Dental

• Surgical Implants: Used for bone pins, screws, and plates due to its biocompatibility and ability to osseointegrate.
• Orthodontic Wires: Its shape memory and elasticity are ideal for dental braces (archwires).
• Pacemaker Leads: Its corrosion resistance and fatigue strength are critical for long-term implantation.
• Surgical Staples & Sutures: Fine wires are used for closing wounds and in microsurgery.

Aerospace & Defense

• Welding Filler Material: Used to weld titanium alloy components for airframes and engines.
• High-Strength Fasteners: Critical bolts, screws, and rivets where weight savings are paramount.
• Springs & Safety Wiring: Used in high-temperature and high-stress applications where steel would fail or be too heavy.
• Control Linkages: Its rigidity and low weight improve the responsiveness of flight control systems.

Industrial & Chemical Processing

• Woven Wire Mesh: Used for filters, screens, and catalyst support in corrosive chemical streams.
• Heating Elements: Its stability at elevated temperatures makes it suitable for certain industrial heating applications.
• Hangers & Racks for Anodizing: Its resistance to acidic environments makes it perfect for holding parts during surface treatment processes like anodizing and electroplating.

Consumer & Sporting Goods

• Eyeglass Frames: Lightweight, hypoallergenic, and strong, offering superior comfort and durability.
• High-Performance Bicycle Spokes: Reduces rotational weight for faster acceleration and better handling.
• Jewelry: Used for rings, bracelets, and earrings due to its hypoallergenic nature, light weight, and modern look.
• Fishing Leaders: High-strength, corrosion-proof wire for saltwater big-game fishing.
