It is also chemically resistant and hypoallergenic. Titanium wire is used in many areas, including: military, eyewear, earrings, hats, galvanic hangers, welding wire, aerospace, petrochemical, medical and health care, automotive, construction, sports and leisure products.
Types of Titanium Wire
We produce two main types of titanium wire, but there are many products available. Here are some common titanium wire products:
★Pure Titanium Wire
Pure titanium wire is made by drawing extruded titanium rod into various diameters. Pure titanium wire is soft, ductile, and easy to form.

High purity titanium wire is a high-quality wire with a melting point of 1942 K. It is lightweight, has a low density, and is highly resistant to corrosion, acids, alkalis, high and low temperatures.
●Titanium Welding Wire GR2
Titanium Welding Wire GR2 is a pure titanium welding wire used for commercial purposes. It contains less impurities than GR1 welding wire, has good mechanical properties and welding process characteristics. It is the most widely used titanium alloy for industrial applications due to its balance of strength, formability and weldability.
●GR3 Titanium Wire
GR3 titanium wire is a commercially pure titanium wire manufactured through an annealing and drawing process. It is composed of approximately 98% titanium and small amounts of other elements such as oxygen and iron. GR3 titanium wire has high tensile strength and low thermal conductivity. It is also corrosion resistant and hypoallergenic. It has a tensile strength of 377-520 MPa and an elongation at break of 18%.
GR3 titanium wire is widely used in the healthcare industry and for surgical implants. Titanium wire is often preferred due to its ability to combine high strength, light weight, corrosion resistance, biocompatibility and high temperature resistance. GR3 titanium wire is also used in the military, aerospace, petrochemical, medical, automotive, construction, sports and entertainment industries.
●Titanium Wire GR1

Titanium Wire Manufacturing Process
Titanium wire must go through the following processes during production.
Hot Forging
The forging process is carried out above the recrystallization temperature of the metal. Hot forging involves heating a malleable metal part to approximately 75% of its melting point. The heated metal is then shaped using processes such as forging, pressing, and upsetting.
01
Hot Rolling
The rolling process is carried out at a temperature above the recrystallization temperature. When titanium is heated to the recrystallization point, it becomes more pliable and can be given the correct shape.
02
Cold Rolling
A rolling process in which the plastic deformation temperature is below the recovery temperature. Cold rolling is a metalworking process in which steel is strengthened by changing its shape without heating. This can only happen when the metal temperature is below the recrystallization temperature, which is usually room temperature.
03
Annealing
A heat treatment process for metals in which the metal is heated slowly to a certain temperature, held for a sufficient time, and then cooled at an appropriate rate (usually slow cooling, sometimes controlled cooling). Annealing changes the physical and sometimes chemical properties of the material, increasing ductility and decreasing hardness, making it more workable.
04
Pickling
Immerse parts in a sulfuric acid solution to remove oxide and other films on the metal surface. This is a pre- or intermediate treatment for galvanizing, enameling, rolling and other processes.
05
Here are some tips for caring for titanium wire:
●Cleaning: Titanium wire is reactive at high temperatures, which can cause contamination and embrittlement. You can clean titanium with a small amount of mild soap and warm water. You can also use an ammonia cleaner such as Windex or a commercial jewelry cleaning solution. Avoid using harsh cleaners such as chlorine or bleach.
●Handling: After cleaning, handle titanium wires with clean gloves to prevent recontamination.
●Storage: When not wearing titanium wire, store it in soft cloth bags or the original box to protect it from exposure to the elements.
●Tools: Use tools designed for titanium. Do not use soft abrasives that may have materials embedded in them.
Instead, use a carbide tool or file to remove burrs. Do not use stainless steel grinding wheels or brushes that you also use for other alloys.
●Solvent Cleaning: If you are cleaning titanium with solvents, you should clean it with a stainless steel brush. Steel wool should never be used when cleaning titanium wire, as it will affect the corrosion resistance of the metal.
Precautions When Using Titanium Wire
Here are some safety precautions when handling titanium wire:
●Avoid Dust and Fumes:Avoid the generation or accumulation of dust or fine particles that may cause a fire. If dust is generated, provide adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing dust and fumes.
●Wear Protective Gear:Wear gloves when handling consumables. Wear protective clothing and equipment. If exposure limits are exceeded, use a NIOSH approved respirator.
●Avoid Contact:Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not ingest.
●Keep Containers Closed:Keep containers closed when not in use.
●Keep Away from Incompatible Materials:Titanium wire is incompatible with acids and oxidizing agents.
●Prevent Entry into Waterways:Prevent entry into drains and waterways.
●Stay away from unprotected people:Keep unprotected people away.
