Womic Stainless Steel Co., Ltd
Exceptional Seawater Corrosion Resistance: Titanium Grade 2 has outstanding resistance to seawater corrosion, including resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in chloride environments. It is immune to seawater corrosion regardless of velocity, temperature, or fouling conditions.
Superior Resistance to Chloride Pitting and Crevice Corrosion: Unlike stainless steels and copper alloys, titanium Grade 2 exhibits no pitting or crevice corrosion in seawater and chloride-containing environments up to its maximum service temperature of 260°C (500°F).
Excellent Resistance to Erosion and Cavitation: Titanium Grade 2 has excellent resistance to erosion and cavitation damage, making it ideal for high-velocity seawater applications (up to 20 m/s or 65 ft/s) where copper alloys would fail.
Outstanding Biofouling Resistance: Titanium Grade 2 naturally resists biofouling and marine growth, reducing maintenance requirements and maintaining heat transfer efficiency over time.
Excellent Heat Transfer Efficiency: Low thermal conductivity is offset by the ability to use very thin walls due to high strength-to-weight ratio, resulting in competitive overall heat transfer coefficients.
Low Density – High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Density of only 4.51 g/cm³ (approximately 57% of stainless steel and 43% of nickel alloys) provides significant weight savings in heat exchanger construction.
Good High-Temperature Strength: Maintains excellent mechanical properties up to 260°C (500°F) in seawater service and up to 315°C (600°F) in non-seawater service.
Excellent Resistance to Acidic Environments: Outstanding resistance to dilute sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, and organic acids, particularly in the presence of oxidizing agents.
Non-Magnetic and Non-Toxic: Titanium is non-magnetic and biologically inert, making it suitable for food processing, pharmaceutical, and medical applications.
Excellent Weldability: Titanium Grade 2 offers good weldability with matching filler metal. Weld zones retain corrosion resistance comparable to the base metal.
Precision Dimensional Accuracy: Strict tolerances on outside diameter (OD), wall thickness, and concentricity ensure proper fitment in tube sheets.
International Certification: Tubes can be certified by ABS, BV, DNV, LR, GL, RINA, CCS, KR, and NK, and comply with ASME Boiler & Pressure Vessel Code Section VIII and NORSOK M-650 standards.

Critical Note: Titanium Grade 2 has excellent resistance to seawater and chloride corrosion up to its maximum service temperature of 260°C (500°F). Above this temperature, titanium is susceptible to accelerated oxidation and embrittlement.
Heat Treatment
Condition:
Titanium Grade 2 Heat Exchanger Tubes are normally supplied in the annealed condition (heat
treated at 650–760°C) followed by air cooling. This heat treatment:
l Relieves internal stresses from cold drawing or cold pilgering.
l Restores optimum ductility and corrosion resistance.
l Ensures a stable microstructure for service.
l Critical Note: Unlike stainless steels, titanium does not require rapid cooling (quenching) after annealing. Air cooling is sufficient and does not affect corrosion resistance. Titanium should not be exposed to hydrogen at elevated temperatures to prevent hydrogen embrittlement.
Delivery Condition:
Tubes are normally supplied in annealed and pickled condition, providing a clean,
smooth surface and excellent corrosion resistance. Bright annealed (BA) finish
is also available for applications requiring ultra-clean surfaces.
Womic Steel adopts advanced production technology to ensure each Titanium Grade 2 Heat Exchanger Tube meets exact specifications with flawless surface quality and precise dimensional accuracy.
· Raw Material Selection: High-quality Titanium Grade 2 sponge and billets from certified mills with certified chemical composition (Ti ≥98.9%, O 0.10–0.25% verification) and traceability.
· Heating and Piercing: Billets heated to a controlled temperature (lower than steel due to titanium's reactivity) and pierced using a rotary piercing mill. Titanium requires special handling to prevent contamination.
· Hot Rolling: Shells elongated and rolled to desired intermediate size with strict temperature control. Titanium work hardens rapidly.
· Cold Drawing / Cold Pilgering: Tubes refined to precise dimensions with improved surface finish. Multiple passes with intermediate annealing required due to work hardening.
· Annealing: Heat treatment at 650–760°C to relieve stresses and restore ductility. Performed in controlled atmosphere furnaces for bright annealed finish.
· Pickling & Passivation: Removal of oxides using specialized pickling acids optimized for titanium; thorough rinsing required.
· Straightening and Dimensional Calibration: Ensures consistent roundness, straightness, and wall uniformity. Special attention to OD tolerance for tube sheet fitment.
· Cutting and End Finishing: Tubes cut to precise lengths with square ends, deburred, and prepared for tube sheet insertion.
· Final Inspection & Marking: Each tube tested, marked with grade, heat number, standard, and tube dimensions before packing.
This process guarantees a smooth internal bore, high structural integrity, precise dimensional accuracy, and exceptional corrosion resistance across all batches of Womic Steel’s Titanium Grade 2 Heat Exchanger Tubes.
Womic Steel utilizes state-of-the-art manufacturing technology to ensure every Welded Titanium Grade 2 Heat Exchanger Tube meets precise specifications and delivers excellent surface quality and performance
1. Raw Material Selection: High-quality Titanium Grade 2 strips/coils from certified mills with full traceability.
2. Slitting & Uncoiling: Precision slitting to required width; edge preparation to ensure clean, burr-free edges for welding.
3. Forming & Welding: The strip is progressively formed into a cylindrical shape. The edges are welded using advanced TIG or Plasma welding with:
l Strict heat input control
l Shielding gas: High-purity argon (99.995% minimum) with back purge
l Matching filler metal (ERTi-2) for optimal weld properties
l Stringent contamination control (titanium reacts with oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen)
4. Weld Seam Treatment: External weld bead removal to achieve smooth surface flush with base metal. Internal bead may be controlled or removed.
5. Annealing: Full heat treatment of the entire welded tube at 650–760°C followed by air cooling – essential for relieving weld stresses.
6. Sizing & Calibration: The tube is passed through a sizing mill to achieve final precise OD and roundness.
7. Straightening: The tube is straightened to ensure optimal linearity for tube sheet insertion.
8. Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) : Weld seam inspected using Eddy Current Testing (ECT) or Ultrasonic Testing (UT). 100% of tube length tested.
9. Hydrostatic Testing: Each tube pressure tested to verify leak-tight integrity.
10.Final Inspection & Marking: Complete dimensional check, visual inspection, and traceable marking.
This controlled process guarantees a sound weld seam, excellent dimensional accuracy, smooth internal surface, and superior corrosion resistance for every batch of Womic Steel’s Welded Titanium Grade 2 Heat Exchanger Tubes.
