ASTM B348 Grade 2 Titanium Rod for Industrial Use - Reliable Suppliers and Factory from China
Key Features
Precision Machining Friendly
Grade 2 titanium rods are stable and uniform, making them easy to CNC turn, drill, and tap. They reduce tool breakage and dimensional drift in small-batch production.
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
These rods outperform standard stainless steel in seawater, chemical, or outdoor environments. They help extend the service life of precision components.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
Grade 2 titanium rods provide strength comparable to steel while remaining much lighter, ideal for lightweight mechanical structures and functional parts.
Flexible Customization
Standard sizes are ready for quick orders, while other dimensions can be cut to specification. This flexibility supports R&D, lab testing, and small-batch titanium parts production.
International Standard Compliance
We manufacture strictly according to ASTM B348 grade 2 standards, each rod comes with material certification. This ensures quality traceability for exports and industry compliance.
Installation & Maintenance Guidance
Use Carbide Tools for Machining
When working with grade 2 titanium rods, use carbide tools with low speeds and steady feed. Maintain sufficient cooling to reduce heat buildup and prevent tool wear.
Isolate Titanium from Stainless Steel
Use insulating pads or a separation layer when assembling titanium with stainless steel. This helps reduce galvanic corrosion and improves long-term stability.

Frequently Asked Questions
What standard do these Grade 2 titanium rods comply with?
Our Grade 2 titanium rods are manufactured in strict compliance with the ASTM B348 standard. Each shipment comes with complete material certification to ensure absolute quality traceability.
Are Grade 2 titanium rods easy to machine?
Yes, Grade 2 titanium is known for being highly precision-machining friendly. It is stable and uniform, which makes it easy to CNC turn, drill, and tap while minimizing tool breakage.
What tools should I use to machine these titanium rods?
We highly recommend using carbide tools. For the best results and to prevent tool wear, use low speeds, maintain a steady feed rate, and apply sufficient coolant during operation.
Can I customize the dimensions of the titanium rods?
Absolutely. While we offer standard sizes like Ø6×100 mm and Ø10×100 mm for immediate orders, we can also customize dimensions ranging from Ø3 to 30 mm in diameter and 50 to 1000 mm in length.
How do I prevent corrosion when assembling titanium with other metals?
When assembling Grade 2 titanium with stainless steel, it is best to use insulating pads or a dedicated separation layer. This effectively isolates the metals, reducing galvanic corrosion and ensuring long-term structural stability.
