Technical Guides

This page indexes every supplier comparison published on this site, grouped by product family. Each entry is a separate list built for one grade and one product form, because a buyer sourcing Grade 12 tube and a buyer sourcing Grade 5 forged block are not comparing the same companies. How these lists are built, and […]

In boiling 90 percent nitric acid on a heating surface, the tests published by TIMET put unalloyed titanium at 1.0 to 6.6 mpy (0.03 to 0.17 mm/y) while Type 304L stainless ran 150 to 2,900 mpy (3.8 to 73.7 mm/y) in the same TIMET tests. That two-to-three order of magnitude gap is why nitric acid

In the published TIMET tests, unalloyed titanium showed no measurable erosion in clean seawater at 25 ft/sec (7.6 m/sec), and at 120 ft/sec (36.6 m/sec) the reported rate was 0.3 mpy (0.008 mm/y). Those are test results at the conditions the source states, not a design limit for your equipment. What they do show is

An MMO-coated titanium anode has two controlled material layers and one electrical duty. A useful quotation identifies the titanium substrate, mixed-metal-oxide family, applied and masked area, current density, electrolyte, intended reaction, polarity, conductor and joint. Dimensions alone cannot establish electrochemical performance. This comparison records five company-owned discovery pages and the fields they make visible. Inclusion

An on-site sodium hypochlorite generator is a process package with brine preparation, water conditioning, electrolysis, gas handling, product storage and controls. A cell rating alone leaves important interfaces undefined. Buyers need available-chlorine output and concentration at a stated feed quality, plus electrical consumption, cooling, ventilation, cleaning, alarms, spares and factory acceptance. The five sources below

Grade 7 titanium combines a commercially pure titanium base with palladium for corrosion resistance, but the alloy label alone does not accept a forging. Procurement must connect UNS R52400 and ASTM B381 F7 to the required shape, starting stock, working history, final condition, coupon orientation, mapped NDE and heat-to-piece genealogy. Five company pages are compared

A Grade 5 titanium fastener order combines alloy control with a detailed mechanical interface. Ti-6Al-4V or UNS R56400 must be linked to the correct bolt, screw, stud, nut or washer geometry, thread system and class, head and drive, grip, thread length, surface condition, manufacturing route and lot tests. The five company pages below provide discovery

ERTi-7 is a palladium-bearing titanium filler classification for joining suitable titanium base metals and corrosion-service assemblies. Procurement needs more than the name Grade 7 wire. The order must tie AWS A5.16 ERTi-7 and UNS R52401 to actual chemistry, diameter, spool or straight-rod form, cast and helix or straightness, surface cleanliness, packaging seal and heat/lot identity.

A Grade 2 titanium flange quotation is incomplete when it says only ASTM B381 and a nominal pipe size. The buyer still has to define flange type, dimensional standard, pressure class, facing, bore or pipe schedule, surface finish, marking and certificate chain. A vacuum knife-edge flange and an ASME process flange can both be Grade

Grade 12 titanium forgings cannot be compared by alloy name and finished weight alone. The order must connect UNS R53400 to a drawing shape, starting stock, forging sequence, annealed condition, machining allowance, test-coupon location, nondestructive examination and heat-to-piece genealogy. Those controls are especially important for rings, valve bodies, discs and blocks used in corrosive pressure
