Titanium rods are high-quality rods made from titanium sponge and other titanium alloys by melting, forging, rolling, drawing and other precision processes, which have excellent properties such as high strength, corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance.
GR5 is the optimal balance of strength, corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness for 90% of high-end industrial needs.
