Gr12 Titanium Wire for manufacture of high-temperature equipment

The Ti-12 alloy is a type of titanium alloy that exhibits resistance to crevice corrosion. At a temperature of 300 degrees, its tensile strength is twice that of pure titanium. Additionally, this alloy shows a significant enhancement in corrosion resistance in reducing media.

The GR12 titanium wire, also known as Titanium-Molybdenum-Nickel alloy, has a nominal composition of Ti-0.3Mo-0.8Ni. It was researched and developed by the United States in the mid-1970s. Like the Ti-12 alloy, the GR12 titanium wire is also resistant to crevice corrosion. Its tensile strength is double that of pure titanium, and it demonstrates improved corrosion resistance in reducing media. Moreover, it does not undergo crevice corrosion in the presence of chlorides within the range of 150 to 200. The GR12 titanium wire is commonly utilized in applications that involve high temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive environments.
