A forged titanium disc is bought as two things at once: a shape and an inspectable volume. The shape range is wide, but the thicker the disc, the harder the ultrasonic examination that has to pass through it, and that interaction shapes a disc enquiry as much as the outline does. The disc envelope, and […]

Nickel alloy forgings are ordered in the same four shapes as titanium forgings, but the envelope is not the same and the specification set is much shorter. A buyer moving a part from titanium to Alloy 625 or C276 will find the ring and disc diameters cut roughly in half, and that is the first

Caustic service is where commercially pure nickel earns its place over both stainless steel and titanium. Titanium is chosen for chlorides and oxidising conditions; hot concentrated caustic is the case that sends an enquiry to Nickel 200 and 201 instead. The part that catches buyers out is the paperwork: for one alloy, the specification number

In a chlor-alkali cell the titanium is not doing the electrochemistry. The coating is. Titanium is there because it is a valve metal: where the coating wears through, the exposed substrate repassivates instead of dissolving, which is what lets the same anode base be recoated instead of being scrapped. Which coating a chlorine duty takes

Tantalum is specified where titanium and the nickel alloys have already been ruled out: hot concentrated acids that attack passive oxide films rather than sit on them. It is bought late in a selection process, and the enquiry that follows is usually about form and length rather than about whether the metal will hold. Where

Beiyu Titanium supplies round titanium bar from 1 mm to 500 mm diameter in one supply range, lengths up to 6000 mm, to ASTM B348, with an EN 10204 type 3.1 certificate by order scope. One envelope matters for one practical reason: a project with thin instrument pins and heavy flange blanks can sit on

Titanium anode baskets hold soluble metal in plating and electroforming cells, and the basket itself must not dissolve. Grade 1 and Grade 2 titanium do that job. Beiyu Titanium supplies the material side: bar, rod, sections and machined parts for basket fabrication, with an EN 10204 type 3.1 certificate by order scope. Why titanium for

Beiyu Titanium supplies hexagonal titanium bar up to 17 mm across flats, in lengths up to 6000 mm, to ASTM B348, with an EN 10204 type 3.1 certificate by order scope. Hex bar exists for one reason: parts with a wrench flat or a nut form machine faster from hex stock than from round. What

Beiyu Titanium supplies square titanium bar from 3 x 3 mm up to 500 x 500 mm, in lengths up to 6000 mm, most commonly in Grade 2 and Grade 5 to ASTM B348, with an EN 10204 type 3.1 certificate by order scope. Round and square titanium bar sections at the works, both supplied

Yes, for commercial and industrial duty, provided four document checks pass: an EN 10204 type 3.1 certificate tied to heat and pour numbers, chemistry compared against the ASTM limits for the grade, an ultrasonic class stated in writing, and bar marking that maps to the certificate. Country of origin decides none of these. The supplier’s
