Applications by Industry
Industry Applications & Grade Selection Guide
Industry | Specific Component Applications | Recommended BENKOO METAL Grades | Rationale for Selection |
Aerospace & Defense | Aircraft fasteners, landing gear components, engine mounts, structural airframe fittings, helicopter rotor pins. | Gr5 (Ti-6Al-4V), Gr9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V) | High strength-to-weight ratio, fatigue resistance, and performance at moderate temperatures. |
Medical & Surgical | Raw material for orthopedic implants (hips, knees, spines), surgical instrument blanks, dental implant abutments. | Gr5 (Ti-6Al-4V), Gr23 (ELI), Gr2 | Biocompatibility, excellent corrosion resistance in body fluids, high strength (for load-bearing implants). |
Chemical Processing | Pump shafts, valve stems, agitator shafts, fasteners for reactors, sparger arms in chloride environments. | Gr2, Gr7, Gr12 | Unmatched corrosion resistance in chlorides, oxidizing acids, and severe process streams. |
Marine & Desalination | Ship propeller shafts, subsea fittings, bolts for seawater handling systems, components in desalination plants. | Gr2, Gr5 | Complete immunity to seawater and marine atmosphere corrosion, high strength for weight savings. |
Automotive & Racing | Connecting rods, valve springs, exhaust system components, fasteners for high-performance engines. | Gr5, Gr9 | Lightweighting for improved performance and fuel efficiency, high strength under thermal cycling. |
Energy & Power | Turbine blades, compressor components, fasteners for geothermal systems, components in flue gas scrubbers. | Gr5, Gr12 | Strength at elevated temperatures, corrosion resistance in aggressive geothermal or chemical environments. |
Product Forms, Supply Capabilities & Processing
Available Forms & Surface Conditions:
Forms: Round Bar, Hexagonal Bar, Square Bar, Rectangular Bar.
Diameter Range: 3mm to 500mm (Round Bar).
Condition: Hot Rolled, Turned (Peeled), Centerless Ground, Polished.
Machining & Heat Treatment Guidance:
Machinability: Commercially pure grades (Gr1, Gr2) machine similarly to austenitic stainless steel. Gr5 Titanium Rod has lower machinability; it requires rigid setups, sharp tools, lower speeds, higher feed rates, and ample coolant.
Heat Treatment: Most titanium bars are supplied in the annealed condition. Gr5 can be solution treated and aged to achieve higher strengths. We provide recommended heat treatment cycles per AMS or customer specifications.
Value-Added Services:
Precision Saw Cutting: Provide us with your part blank dimensions, and we will deliver ready-to-machine pieces, saving you material waste and time.
Quality Certification: All material is supplied with full traceability and Mill Test Certificates compliant with EN 10204 3.1/3.2, including chemical and mechanical test reports.
