Titanium Wire

Key Advantages

  • Lightweight strength: high strength‑to‑weight ratio helps reduce mass while maintaining durability.
  • Corrosion resistance: excellent performance in chlorides and seawater; note, titanium is not resistant to HF (hydrofluoric acid).
  • Clean, consistent surfaces: bright‑drawn or pickled finishes support repeatable forming and welding.
  • Tight diameter control: fine tolerances and roundness for stable winding and downstream machining.
  • Flexible supply: small diameters from 0.10 mm for instruments up to 6.0 mm for structural uses; small‑batch prototyping available.

Primary Applications

  • Medical devices: frames, springs, orthodontic components and implantable hardware (use Gr23/Gr5 per application).
  • Aerospace & mobility: fasteners, safety wire, sensor brackets and lightweight structural elements.
  • Industrial & chemical: tying, stitching and conductive elements in corrosive environments; electronics and research fixtures.

Testing & Inspection

  • Dimensional checks: diameter, ovality and straightness/coil uniformity.
  • Mechanical testing: tensile and elongation by heat and size as specified.
  • Surface inspection: visual and microcleanliness; inclusion/defect screening.
  • Non‑destructive testing: eddy‑current for continuity and surface/subsurface defects (size‑dependent).
  • Chemical analysis: composition verification per grade and standard.

Forming, Welding & Handling Notes

Cold‑drawn wire offers higher strength; annealed wire provides better ductility for coiling, bending and spring‑forming. When welding, use GTAW with proper inert shielding to avoid oxygen pickup and discoloration. Keep tooling and contact surfaces clean and free of iron or copper residues to prevent contamination.

Product Description

LuminaTitan supplies precision titanium wire manufactured to ASTM B863 for industrial, medical and aerospace use. With high strength‑to‑weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatible options, our wire is suitable for components requiring reliable forming, welding and long‑term stability. Production emphasizes chemistry control, surface cleanliness and dimensional consistency across spools and cut lengths.

Supply forms include coils on plastic/metal spools, straight cut lengths, and small prototype lots. Mill Test Certificates (MTC, EN 10204 3.1) and inspection reports are available on request to support supplier qualification and audits.
