Titanium Sheet Sizes, Grades & Specifications: A Buyer’s Guide
In this blog, we’ll break down the properties, applications, and advantages of oxygen-free copper, helping you understand why it’s preferred over standard copper in various industries.
Titanium Sheet Sizes, Grades & Specifications: A Buyer’s Guide
Titanium sheet is specified by three things working together: grade, thickness, and surface condition. Get those right and the rest of the order — sizes, tolerances, certification — falls into place. This guide breaks down each so you can spec a sheet that fits your application the first time.
Common titanium sheet grades
Most titanium sheet sold for industrial use falls into a handful of grades. Grade 1 and Grade 2 are commercially pure (CP) titanium — Grade 2 is the workhorse, prized for its balance of strength, formability, and corrosion resistance. Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) is an alpha-beta alloy that roughly doubles the strength of CP titanium, which is why it dominates aerospace and high-load parts. If you’re unsure which way to go, our breakdown of Grade 2 vs Grade 5 titanium walks through the trade-offs.
Standard thickness and size ranges
Titanium sheet is generally supplied from around 0.5 mm up to 6 mm (above this it’s classed as plate). Common sheet sizes run to 1000 x 2000 mm and 1250 x 2500 mm, though cut-to-size is widely available. When ordering, confirm:
- Thickness tolerance (cold-rolled sheet holds tighter tolerances than hot-rolled)
- Surface finish (pickled, descaled, or polished)
- Flatness and edge condition
Specifications to quote on every order
A clean titanium sheet spec includes the grade (e.g. ASTM B265 Grade 2), thickness, sheet size, surface condition, and any certification you need — typically a mill test certificate confirming chemistry and mechanical properties.

FAQ
What’s the difference between titanium sheet and plate? Thickness. Sheet is generally up to ~6 mm; thicker material is plate.
Which grade is most common for sheet? Grade 2, because it forms and welds easily while resisting corrosion.

Do you have any questions?
A: Carbon steel relies on carbon content alone for its properties. Alloy steel adds elements like chromium, nickel, molybdenum, and vanadium to achieve specific improvements — higher strength, better low-temperature toughness, creep resistance, or corrosion resistance — giving it a far broader performance range than carbon steel.
A: For ambient to 400°C service, ASTM A516 Grade 70 is the standard choice. For high-temperature refinery or power plant use (up to 600°C), ASTM A387 Grade 11 or 22 (chrome-moly) applies. For cryogenic service down to -196°C, 9% nickel steel (ASTM A553) is required.
A: Wear-resistant grades like AR400/AR500 are quenched to martensitic hardness of 370–500 HB — 3–4× harder than structural grades like A572-50. They resist abrasive wear in mining and construction equipment but have limited weldability and are not suitable as primary structural members.
A: CE (= C + Mn/6 + (Cr+Mo+V)/5 + (Ni+Cu)/15) predicts susceptibility to hydrogen-induced cold cracking during welding. Sheets with CE above ~0.40 require preheating to slow cooling and allow hydrogen diffusion, preventing weld cracking. Always develop a qualified WPS based on the specific CE value.
