Northbound Titanium

Product

Grade 9 titanium tube

Ti-3Al-2.5V seamless tube for hydraulic lines and heat exchangers.

Material collection
Illustrative material photograph

Grade 9 sits between commercially pure and Grade 5: stronger than the pure grades, more formable than Ti-6Al-4V, and the standard choice for aircraft hydraulic lines.

Why it is used for hydraulics

The combination of strength and cold formability lets a line be bent to shape without heat treatment, which matters when a hydraulic run has to follow a structure rather than the other way round.
