The global market for acid-resistant titanium sheets is currently witnessing an unprecedented surge, driven by the increasing complexity of industrial chemical processing. As global industries shift toward more aggressive acidic environments to maximize production efficiency, traditional stainless steels often fail to provide the necessary longevity. Today, titanium is no longer a "luxury metal" but a critical requirement for infrastructure in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific regions.
Modern industrial trends focus on the "Hydrogen Economy" and "Green Chemistry." Titanium's biocompatibility and extreme resistance to corrosion make it the preferred substrate for electrolyzers and carbon capture units. Furthermore, the push for miniaturization in electronics and increased pressure in deep-sea oil exploration has shifted the demand toward thinner, high-strength alloy foils like GR7 and GR12.
ProX Metal, established in 2001, has evolved alongside these trends. Our production of ASTM B265 compliant titanium plates supports global supply chains by offering materials that can withstand sulfuric, hydrochloric, and organic acids at varying concentrations and temperatures. Our annual output of 8,000 tons ensures that we can meet the massive procurement needs of Fortune 500 chemical enterprises and specialized engineering firms alike.
Unlike many suppliers who only trade, we operate a complete titanium metal production chain. From raw sponge processing to final cold-rolled bright finishing, every step is controlled in-house for cost-effectiveness and quality stability.
Our R&D team brings 15 years of industry experience to your custom projects. Whether you need specific dimensions (ฮด0.3-100mm) or specialized alloy compositions like Ti-5Al-2.5Sn, we provide the technical consultancy you need.
With 10 tons of spot delivery capacity, we cater to both large-scale industrial projects and small-batch orders. Our Korean, UK, and Mexico-based clients rely on our "Super Fast" logistics to avoid production downtime.
As a leading Chinese Manufacturer, we bridge the gap between high-end performance and economic viability. Our factory is equipped with over 100 advanced machines, ensuring that every GR1, GR2, or GR5 Titanium Plate meets stringent ASTM standards while remaining more competitive than local European or American manufacturers.
In the Middle East and coastal regions, our titanium sheets are the backbone of desalination plants. Resistance to sea water and brackish applications makes titanium the only viable long-term choice for heat exchangers and piping. The high thermal conductivity combined with corrosion resistance extends equipment life by decades.
Offshore drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea utilize our high-strength GR5 (Ti6Al4V) plates. These materials provide the necessary strength-to-weight ratio for exploration tools while resisting the "sour gas" (H2S) environments typical of deep-well refining.
In the chlor-alkali and sulfuric acid industries, material failure is catastrophic. Our Acid-resistant titanium rods and sheets ensure safe operation, preventing material leakage and guaranteeing the purity of the chemical products. We specialize in GR7 (Ti-0.2Pd) which offers enhanced protection in reducing acid environments.
As electronics become more powerful, heat management is vital. Our titanium foils are used in battery casings and mobile device frames where lightweight durability and non-magnetic properties are required.
To assist procurement managers and engineers, we provide a wide array of standardized and custom titanium products. Reference the table below for typical grade performance:
| Product Type | Available Grades | Standard | Surface Finish |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanium Sheet/Plate | GR1, GR2, GR7, GR12, GR23 | ASTM B265 | Bright, Pickled, Sandblasted |
| Titanium Rods/Bars | GR1, GR2, GR3, GR4, GR5, GR9 | ASTM B348 | Polished, Machined, Black Oxide |
| Titanium Tubes/Pipe | Pure & Alloy (Seamless/Welded) | ASTM B338, B861, B862 | Pickled, Polished, Coated |
Customer from Korea: "Prompt shipment and excellent after-sales. They solved our technical problem quickly."
Customer from UK: "10 years of collaboration. Consistent quality in titanium sheets and strips for our production needs."
Customer from Mexico: "Comprehensive inventory for different material grades. Patient service for sample orders."
Customer from Turkey: "Super fast logistics help us avoid production delays. A reliable long-term partner."
Pure Titanium (Grade 1 and 2) offers the best combination of ductility and corrosion resistance. Grade 1 is the softest and most ductile, making it perfect for deep drawing and forming processes. Grade 2 is known as the "workhorse" of the industrial market, providing slightly higher strength while maintaining excellent weldability and corrosion resistance in highly oxidizing environments.
For more aggressive environments, alloyed titanium is essential. Grade 7 (Ti-0.2Pd) contains a small amount of Palladium, which significantly increases its resistance to crevice corrosion and reducing acids. Grade 12 (Ti-0.3Mo-0.8Ni) is a high-quality alloy developed for superior corrosion resistance in mildly reducing conditions or where the temperature is high, providing better strength than pure grades at a lower cost than Grade 7.
Often referred to as the "alpha-beta" alloy, Grade 5 is used where strength is the primary concern. In aerospace and marine exploration, its high mechanical properties and ability to be heat treated make it the ideal choice for structural components that must also resist environmental degradation.
Global procurement teams are increasingly moving toward direct factory sourcing to mitigate supply chain risks. By partnering directly with a manufacturer like ProX Metal, companies can ensure material traceability (MTC to EN 10204 3.1), customized sizing that reduces scrap waste, and direct technical support for complex applications. In the current economic climate, the reliability of a supplier who holds 14 patents and is ISO certified is invaluable for maintaining project timelines and safety standards.
