Do you have a question about the application metals in your production process?
What is ASTM B348 / ASME SB348?
The standard ASTM B348, and its equivalent ASME SB348, outlines the requirements for titanium and titanium alloys in the form of bars and forgings. These requirements include the desired chemical composition, mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation, and tolerances on dimensions and surface condition.
These standards are applied worldwide to ensure the quality and reliability of titanium products within technical applications where performance under pressure is essential. Adhering to these standards provides a foundation for consistent product quality, especially when processed into components in industrial environments.
What is ASTM B348 used for?
Material Properties
Titanium that meets ASTM B348 standards is renowned for its high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance, particularly in aggressive chemical environments. Depending on the chosen alloy, the materials are well-suited for welding and machining. Some grades are optimized for cold formability, while others for structural strength. The chemical purity and consistency in mechanical properties make these products suitable for applications where material failure is not an option.
Industrial Application
Materials conforming to ASTM B348 / ASME SB348 are primarily used in sectors such as the chemical process industry, power generation, offshore installations, and maritime systems. Consider components for heat exchangers, piping systems, fasteners, pump parts, and components exposed to corrosive media over long periods. The standard ensures the performance of titanium under high stress and demanding environments, which is crucial for these applications.
