ASTM And AWS Standards For Titanium
The ASTM B series standards our titanium products are made to, with the AWS specifications covering titanium welding.
Product Standards
ASTM B Series
| Standard | Scope |
|---|---|
| B265 | Titanium and Titanium Alloy Strip, Sheet and Plate |
| B338 | Seamless and Welded Titanium and Titanium Alloy Tubes |
| B348 | Titanium and Titanium Alloy Bars and Billets |
| B381 | Titanium and Titanium Alloy Forgings |
| B363 | Seamless and Welded Unalloyed Titanium and Titanium Alloy Welding Fittings |
| B861 | Titanium and Titanium Alloy Seamless Pipe |
| B862 | Titanium and Titanium Alloy Welded Pipe |
| B863 | Titanium and Titanium Alloy Wire |
Each ASTM B standard fixes the chemical composition the mechanical properties and the test requirements for one product form. Quoting the standard together with the grade on a purchase order removes the ambiguity that a grade number alone leaves, because the same grade is specified differently for a bar than for a sheet.
