Product Introduction
Commercial Titanium Ingot for Remelt and Forging Stock
Beiyu supplies commercial titanium ingot as input material for forging, rolling, extrusion and downstream titanium production. Titanium ingot is the primary melted form, and is used by mills and fabricators who need controlled chemistry and traceable stock before converting it into bar, billet, plate or forgings.
Ingot should be quoted by grade, chemistry, diameter or section, weight and melting requirement, because the downstream processing route determines the acceptable ingot condition.
Grade and Standards
| Common grades | Commercially pure Grade 1 and Grade 2; alloy grades such as Grade 5 / Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 7, Grade 12 and project-specified alloys |
|---|---|
| Melting | VAR (vacuum arc remelting) or as specified; single or double melt by requirement |
| Standard reference | ASTM B348 for downstream bar/billet, or customer chemistry specification |
| Forms | Round ingot, cut ingot sections and remelt stock |
Chemistry, Size and Processing
RFQs should state required grade, chemical composition limits, ingot diameter, length or weight, melt type and the intended processing route (forging, rolling or extrusion). For critical applications, the buyer should define oxygen, nitrogen and other interstitial limits and any required melt practice.
Common Applications
- Remelt and conversion stock for bar, billet and plate
- Forging input for rings, blocks and discs
- Feedstock for mills and titanium fabricators
Inspection and Documentation
Buyers can request mill test certificate, EN10204 3.1 documentation, heat number traceability and chemical composition. Ultrasonic testing and macro/micro examination can be agreed when the processing route requires it.
Packaging and Export Information
Titanium ingot is packed on heavy-duty pallets or in steel-framed cases suitable for the weight and section, and marked by grade, heat number and weight where traceability is required.

FAQ
What is titanium ingot used for?
Titanium ingot is the primary melted form used as stock for forging, rolling and extrusion into bar, billet, plate and other titanium products.
Which melting method is used?
Vacuum arc remelting (VAR) is common; single or double melt can be specified depending on the chemistry and end-use requirement.
What is needed to quote titanium ingot?
Send grade, chemistry limits, ingot size or weight, melt requirement, processing route, quantity and certificate requirements.
Procurement Notes for Commercial Titanium Ingot
Commercial titanium ingot enquiries should define grade family, ingot size or weight, intended downstream process and required chemical composition limits. Buyers may use titanium ingot for forging stock, rolling stock, remelt programs or internal machining trials, so the RFQ should distinguish between general commercial material and specification-controlled aerospace, medical or chemical equipment material.
Useful purchasing details include target grade, heat number traceability, surface condition, cut requirement, allowable conditioning, certificate requirement and whether a specific ASTM, AMS or customer material specification must be met after downstream processing. If the ingot will be converted into billet, bar, plate or forgings, include the final product route and inspection expectations so quotation and documentation can be aligned with the buyer's actual acceptance criteria.
Ingot Procurement Notes
For titanium ingot RFQs, the buyer should state whether the ingot will be remelted, forged, rolled or converted into billet. This affects acceptable chemistry, section size, weight, surface condition and inspection scope. If the downstream process has a strict oxygen, iron or alloying-element requirement, include the target chemistry or customer specification with the RFQ.
When ingots are ordered for conversion stock, packing and marking should identify grade, heat number, gross weight and purchase order reference. If third-party inspection, sampling or additional chemical verification is required, it should be confirmed before shipment.

Titanium BilletSpecification detail with sources
Ingot is made to the order, and Beiyu Titanium publishes neither a diameter range nor a single ingot weight for it. Both are set by what the material is going to become: the downstream forging or rolling operation fixes the ingot size, and the weight follows from the size and the pour rather than from a catalogue. An ingot enquiry that starts by asking what sizes are available has started from the wrong end.
Melting route is the field worth naming early instead. Beiyu Titanium's medical grade material is triple vacuum melted, and the industrial grades are produced on the same triple melt route. That matters more than a dimension to anyone buying ingot as remelt or forging stock, because the number of melts is what the downstream shop asks about first and it cannot be corrected later in the process. The grade with its UNS designation, the melting route, the intended downstream operation and the finished part size are what let an ingot enquiry be reviewed.

Non-catalogue ingot chemistry, verified lot by lot
Alloy families outside the common ASTM grades are analysed against their own methods rather than the titanium ones, which matters when an ingot order sits away from the catalogue. Interstitials in niobium-titanium compositions are run to the YS/T 861 series, with YS/T 861.2-2013 covering oxygen and nitrogen, YS/T 861.3-2013 hydrogen and YS/T 861.4-2013 carbon, so a report on this kind of material will cite those methods instead of the ASTM E1409 and E1447 routes used for unalloyed and Ti-6Al-4V stock.

Beiyu Titanium melts and supplies compositions of this kind as ingot for research and development users whose work sits outside the standard grade list, and reports the analysis against the lot number rather than as a nominal target. The figures above come from a third-party laboratory analysis of one lot, which is what a materials group needs when the composition itself is the variable under study. Send the target composition, the tolerance you can accept on each element, ingot size and weight, and Beiyu reviews whether the melt route can hold it before quoting.
