Product Description

Products Detail

Titanium and titanium alloy U profiles leverage the load-bearing advantages of channel-type structures and the material advantages of titanium to address the pain points of traditional metal channel parts, such as corrosion and weight. They are ideal for support, protection and flow guidance in the aerospace, marine and chemical industries, among others.

GR2 Grade

GR2 pure titanium U profiles: Suitable for light-duty scenarios.

Advantages: High ductility, easy to bend, corrosion-resistant to fresh water, seawater and weak alkalis, cost-effective.

Applications & Performance

Marine Aquaculture: U profiles with a channel width of 20–40 mm are used as flow guides in cages to circulate seawater. These profiles can resist seawater immersion without rusting for five years, are 43% lighter than stainless steel and reduce the load on aquaculture platforms.

Food Workshops: U profiles with a channel width of 15–30 mm are used as edge protection for equipment to prevent corrosion from juices during food processing. The surface is easy to clean and meets FDA hygiene standards.

GR5 Grade

GR5 titanium alloy U profiles: The main choice for high loads.

Tensile strength of 895 MPa
Excellent fatigue resistance
Resistance to high temperatures up to 400°C
Suitable for high-stress scenarios

Aerospace: U profiles (30–50 mm width) are used as cabin floor support channels to bear the weight of seats and equipment. The lightweight design reduces airframe fuel consumption while withstanding flight vibrations without deforming.

Heavy Machinery: U-profile channels (25–40 mm width) are used to protect hydraulic system oil pipes. They wrap around the pipes to avoid external impact and resist hydraulic oil corrosion, with a service life three times longer than steel.

GR7 Grade

GR7 titanium alloy U profiles: Specialised for corrosive scenarios.

Advantages: Contains palladium for superior resistance to organic acids and dilute sulfuric acid; ideal for harsh chemical environments.

Chemical Workshops: U profiles (20–40 mm width) serve as flow guides for dilute acid discharged from reaction kettles, directing it to the treatment system. The U profiles resist acid corrosion without leaking, preventing ground damage.

Customization Options

All U profiles can be customised in terms of channel width (10–60 mm) and wall thickness (1–8 mm). The channel edge can be polished as required for direct assembly, saving 30% of processing time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the weight advantages of titanium U profiles compared to stainless steel?

Titanium U profiles are approximately 43% lighter than stainless steel, which significantly reduces the structural load on platforms and improves fuel efficiency in aerospace applications.

Which titanium grade is best for high-stress aerospace environments?

GR5 titanium alloy is recommended for high-stress scenarios due to its high tensile strength of 895 MPa, fatigue resistance, and ability to withstand temperatures up to 400°C.

Can these profiles withstand harsh chemical acids?

Yes, GR7 titanium alloy U profiles are specifically designed for harsh environments. They contain palladium, which provides excellent resistance to organic acids and dilute sulfuric acid.

Are the dimensions of the U profiles customizable?

Absolutely. We offer customization for channel widths ranging from 10mm to 60mm and wall thicknesses from 1mm to 8mm to meet specific project requirements.

How do titanium U profiles improve efficiency in machinery?

In heavy machinery, they protect hydraulic oil pipes from impact and corrosion, offering a service life three times longer than traditional steel profiles, thereby reducing maintenance downtime.

Are these products compliant with food safety standards?

Yes, our titanium U profiles used in food workshops feature easy-to-clean surfaces and meet FDA hygiene standards, making them safe for food processing equipment.
