Transus Temperatures of Unalloyed Titanium
There are four grades of unalloyed titanium (commercially pure titanium): Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, and Grade 4. The metallographic structure of all grades at room temperature is α phase (HCP). When the temperature is at about 885°C [1625°F], it transform to a beta phase structure (BCC). The α transus temperature and β transus temperature differ slightly for each grade due to the differentiated amount of interstitial alloying elements. The typical transus temperatures are listed in below table.
Titanium | Typical β Transus Temp. | Typical α Transus Temp. | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Designation | °C | °F | °C | °F |
Grade 1 | 888 | 1630 | 880 | 1620 |
Grade 2 | 913 | 1675 | 890 | 1635 |
Grade 3 | 920 | 1685 | 900 | 1650 |
Grade 4 | 950 | 1740 | 905 | 1660 |
*Depending on level of interstitial impurities (C,H,O,Fe,N), an uncertainty of about ±15°C [±25°F] shall be considered.
