Titanium Agitator Shafts | Custom Forged Grade 2, 5, 7 & 12 for Industrial Mixing

RFQ and Inspection Notes

Titanium agitator shaft RFQs should include the shaft drawing, grade, total length, diameter, end connection, keyway or thread detail, straightness requirement, surface finish, quantity and service medium. If the shaft is used in a reactor or mixer, include torque, rotational speed and operating temperature so the material and inspection scope can be reviewed.

Packaging and Export

Long shafts should be packed to prevent bending, surface damage and mixed-material contamination during export transport. Packing may use protective wrapping, internal supports, wooden cases or pallets depending on length and weight. Labels should show grade, heat number, size and quantity when traceability is required.

FAQ

Can Beiyu quote titanium agitator shafts from a drawing?

Yes. Send the drawing, material grade, shaft length, tolerance, surface finish, connection detail, quantity and inspection requirements.

When should Grade 7 or Grade 12 be considered?

These grades may be reviewed for more demanding corrosion environments. The final grade should be confirmed from the service medium, temperature and engineering specification.

What documents should be requested?

For traceable orders, request mill test certificate, heat number traceability, dimensional inspection and any project-specific NDT or third-party inspection requirement before quotation.

Application and Design Review

Titanium agitator shafts are normally specified for chemical mixing, etching equipment, seawater-related equipment, metal finishing, environmental equipment and reactor systems where stainless steel may not be suitable for the operating medium. The buyer should confirm whether the shaft is a finished machined part, a semi-finished forged blank or a replacement shaft copied from an existing assembly.

For long shafts, straightness, runout, end connection geometry and machining allowance are as important as the material grade. If the shaft will be coupled to an impeller, seal, bearing or motor, provide the assembly drawing or the mating dimensions. For corrosion-critical service, state the medium, concentration and temperature so Grade 2, Grade 7, Grade 12 or Grade 5 can be reviewed against the project requirement.

Procurement Checklist

• Material grade and standard, such as ASTM B381 / ASME SB381 when applicable.
• Total length, diameter, straightness, runout, threaded ends, keyway and surface finish.
• Heat number traceability, MTC, EN10204 3.1, PMI or ultrasonic testing requirement.
• Quantity, delivery destination, packing method and whether third-party inspection is required.

Clear drawing data helps separate a simple shaft blank quotation from a precision finished shaft quotation, which affects machining route, inspection time and packing design.

Additional Technical Notes

For replacement shafts, photos of the failed part are useful but should not replace a drawing. Shaft material, heat treatment, machining allowance and final balance requirement should be confirmed before production. If the shaft is unusually long or slender, packing design and internal supports should be discussed with the quotation because transport damage can affect straightness before installation.
