Ti Grade 2 Gr2 Pure Titanium Balls Titanium Alloy Balls for Body Jewerly and Bearing

Introduction of Titanium Balls:

Titanium balls are spherical metallic components made primarily from titanium or titanium alloys. They are precision-engineered to exacting standards and find application in a wide range of industries due to titanium's unique properties.

Properties of Titanium Balls:

Corrosion Resistance: Titanium and its alloys exhibit exceptional resistance to corrosion, especially in aggressive environments such as seawater and chemical processing plants. This property makes titanium balls suitable for applications where durability and longevity are crucial.

Lightweight: Titanium is known for its low density, making titanium balls lightweight compared to steel or other metals of similar strength. This characteristic is advantageous in applications where weight reduction is desired, such as aerospace and automotive industries.

High Strength: Despite its low density, titanium alloys offer high strength comparable to some steels. This strength-to-weight ratio makes titanium balls capable of withstanding high loads and pressures.

Biocompatibility: Titanium is biocompatible and non-toxic, making titanium balls suitable for medical applications such as surgical implants, prosthetics, and dental instruments. They integrate well with human tissues without adverse reactions.

Heat and Cold Resistance: Titanium maintains its mechanical properties over a wide temperature range, from cryogenic temperatures to moderately high temperatures. This thermal stability makes titanium balls suitable for use in various thermal and mechanical applications.

Characteristics of Grade 2 Titanium:

Purity: Grade 2 titanium is composed of 99.2% titanium, with the remainder being primarily composed of iron and oxygen, along with trace amounts of other elements.

Strength: It offers good strength comparable to low alloy steels, making Grade 2 titanium suitable for a wide range of applications.

Ductility: Grade 2 titanium is highly ductile, allowing it to be easily formed, machined, and welded.

Corrosion Resistance: Like all titanium grades, Grade 2 titanium exhibits excellent resistance to corrosion, particularly in oxidizing and mildly reducing environments, as well as in seawater.

Biocompatibility: It is non-toxic and biocompatible, making Grade 2 titanium suitable for medical implants and surgical instruments.

Lightweight: Titanium is about 50% lighter than steel, which contributes to its use in weight-sensitive applications.

Properties and Characteristics:

Titanium Material: Known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, titanium is one of the strongest and lightest metals available. It offers excellent corrosion resistance, making it suitable for a wide range of demanding applications.

Hollow Design: The hollow interior reduces the weight of the ball while maintaining structural integrity. This design is particularly advantageous in applications where weight reduction is critical without compromising on strength.

Corrosion Resistance: Like solid titanium components, titanium hollow balls exhibit high resistance to corrosion, including resistance to seawater, acids, and other harsh environments. This property makes them suitable for marine, chemical processing, and aerospace applications.

Biocompatibility: Titanium is biocompatible, meaning it is non-toxic and does not induce adverse reactions when in contact with biological tissues. This makes titanium hollow balls suitable for medical implants and surgical instruments.

High Temperature Performance: Titanium can withstand high temperatures without losing its mechanical properties, which is beneficial in applications exposed to extreme heat or thermal cycling.

Precision Engineering: Titanium hollow balls are manufactured to precise specifications using advanced machining or forming techniques. This ensures consistent quality and dimensional accuracy.

The

 Differences between Grade 2 and Grade 5:

Titanium Grade 2 and Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) are two of the most commonly used titanium alloys, but they have significant differences in terms of composition, properties, and typical applications. Below is a comparison of the two grades:

1. Composition

• Grade 2 (Commercially Pure Titanium):

  • Titanium (Ti): 99.2%
  • Oxygen (O): 0.18% (max)
  • Iron (Fe): 0.3% (max)
  • Carbon (C): 0.08% (max)

  Grade 2 is a commercially pure titanium alloy with very little alloying elements. It is primarily composed of titanium, making it a relatively soft and ductile material compared to alloyed grades.

• Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V):

  • Titanium (Ti): 90%
  • Aluminum (Al): 6%
  • Vanadium (V): 4%

  Grade 5 is an alloyed titanium (specifically Ti-6Al-4V), which includes aluminum and vanadium as primary alloying elements. These additions give it higher strength, hardness, and other enhanced properties compared to pure titanium (Grade 2).

2. Mechanical Properties

• Strength:

  • Grade 2: Grade 2 has relatively lower strength, with a tensile strength of around 345 MPa (50,000 psi).
  • Grade 5: Grade 5 is much stronger, with a tensile strength of approximately 900 MPa (130,000 psi). This makes Grade 5 suitable for more demanding applications that require higher strength.

• Hardness:

  • Grade 2: Grade 2 is softer and more ductile, with lower hardness (approximately 130 HB).
  • Grade 5: Grade 5 is harder and more resistant to wear, with a higher hardness value (approximately 300 HB).

• Ductility and Formability:

  • Grade 2: Due to its low alloy content, Grade 2 is more ductile and easier to form, weld, and shape, making it ideal for applications requiring extensive forming or welding.
  • Grade 5: While still formable, Grade 5 is less ductile than Grade 2 due to its alloy content, which makes it more challenging to form in certain situations.

3. Corrosion Resistance

• Both Grade 2 and Grade 5 exhibit excellent corrosion resistance in most environments, including seawater, chlorine, and acidic conditions. However:

  • Grade 2 has slightly better corrosion resistance in purely non-oxidizing environments since it is free of alloying elements that can slightly reduce its corrosion resistance in some specific conditions.
  • Grade 5 is still highly corrosion-resistant but may have a slight reduction in resistance compared to Grade 2 in extremely aggressive environments due to the presence of aluminum and vanadium.

4. Weight

• Grade 2: Grade 2 titanium is generally lighter than Grade 5. This is because Grade 2 has a higher percentage of pure titanium and lacks the heavier alloying elements found in Grade 5.
• Grade 5: Slightly heavier than Grade 2 due to the addition of aluminum and vanadium, but still much lighter than most steel alloys.

5. Heat Resistance

• Grade 2: Grade 2 titanium can withstand temperatures up to approximately 400°C (752°F) without significant degradation in properties.
• Grade 5: Grade 5 has better heat resistance, able to withstand temperatures up to 600°C (1112°F). This makes it suitable for high-performance applications in elevated temperature environments, such as in aerospace.

6. Weldability

• Grade 2: Being commercially pure, Grade 2 is generally easier to weld than Grade 5, as it has better ductility and lower alloying content that can complicate the welding process in alloyed grades.
• Grade 5: Grade 5 is more challenging to weld due to its alloying elements (particularly vanadium), which can make it more susceptible to weld cracking if not handled properly. Special techniques and precautions are often necessary during welding.

Applications of Grade 2 Titanium Balls:

Industrial Bearings: Grade 2 titanium balls are used in various types of bearings, including aerospace bearings and high-performance industrial bearings, where corrosion resistance and lightweight properties are advantageous.

Valves and Pumps: They are employed in valves, pumps, and flow control devices within chemical processing, oil and gas, and marine industries due to their corrosion resistance and durability.

Medical Applications: Grade 2 titanium balls are utilized in medical implants and prosthetics, including joint replacements and dental implants, owing to their biocompatibility and resistance to bodily fluids.

Aerospace Components: In aerospace applications, Grade 2 titanium balls are used in components that require high strength-to-weight ratios, such as in aircraft structural components and landing gear assemblies.

Precision Instruments: Due to their excellent machinability and dimensional stability, Grade 2 titanium balls are used in precision instruments, optical devices, and measurement equipment.
