ASTM B265
ASTM B265 Titanium Sheet, Plate & Strip – Specification & Product Details
ASTM B265 is the globally recognized specification for titanium and titanium alloy sheet, strip, and plate used across chemical processing, aerospace, medical, marine, and industrial applications. This standard ensures consistent mechanical properties, chemical purity, surface integrity, and dimensional accuracy across multiple titanium grades.
We supply commercially pure (CP) titanium Grades 1, 2, 3, 4 and titanium alloys such as Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), Grade 7, Grade 9, Grade 12, and Grade 23, all manufactured in accordance with ASTM B265 requirements.
What Is ASTM B265?
ASTM B265 defines the requirements for annealed titanium strip, sheet, and plate, ensuring the material meets strict quality, mechanical, and chemical standards suitable for high-performance industries. This specification is widely used when consistent strength-to-weight performance and corrosion resistance are critical.
Dimensional tolerances for sheet, strip, and plate
Surface finish requirements (pickled, polished, blasted, etc.)
Mechanical properties in the annealed condition
Chemical composition limits for each titanium grade
Bend characteristics and formability criteria for sheet and strip
Available Titanium Grades Under ASTM B265
Commercially Pure Titanium (CP) Grades
Grade 1 (UNS R50250): Softest, best formability, excellent corrosion resistance.
Grade 2 (UNS R50400): Most widely used CP grade, balanced strength and ductility.
Grade 3 (UNS R50550): Higher strength with moderate formability.
Grade 4 (UNS R50700): Strongest CP grade for demanding environments.
Titanium Alloys
Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V, UNS R56400): Aerospace alloy with superior strength-to-weight ratio.
Grade 7 (UNS R52400): Palladium-enhanced corrosion resistance for aggressive media.
Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V, UNS R56320): Ideal for tubing, marine and aerospace components.
Grade 12 (UNS R53400): Excellent hot-corrosion and crevice-corrosion resistance.
Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI, UNS R56407): Extra-low-interstitial alloy for medical implants.

Chemical Composition (General Range for ASTM B265 Grades)
Values vary by grade; exact composition is provided on the Mill Test Certificate (MTC) with each order. Typical limits include:
| Element | Typical Range / Limit |
|---|---|
| Titanium (Ti) | Balance |
| Oxygen (O) | ≤ 0.18–0.25% |
| Carbon (C) | ≤ 0.08% |
| Nitrogen (N) | ≤ 0.03% |
| Hydrogen (H) | ≤ 0.015% |
| Iron (Fe) | ≤ 0.20–0.30% |
| Alloying Additions | As applicable (Al, V, Pd, Mo, Ni, Sn, Ru, etc.) per grade |
Mechanical Properties (Typical for Annealed Condition)
Values vary by grade and thickness; design and acceptance should always reference the applicable specification and MTC:
| Property | Typical Range (Annealed) |
|---|---|
| Tensile Strength | ≈ 240–950 MPa |
| Yield Strength | ≈ 138–880 MPa |
| Elongation | ≈ 10–24% |
| Density | ≈ 4.51 g/cm³ |
| Melting Point | ≈ 1670°C |
Detailed MTC (EN 10204 3.1) is provided with every order, covering chemistry and mechanicals.
