High-integrity ASTM B265 compliant CP titanium sheets tailored for intense corrosive and hydrometallurgical operations across Chile.
Meeting the severe chemical, thermal, and mechanical demands of South America’s leading industrial powerhouses.
Chile stands as a global leader in copper extraction, lithium processing, and advanced mining hydrometallurgy. However, the operational environments in Antofagasta, Calama, Tarapacá, and Atacama present extreme challenges: acidic leaching reagents, concentrated sulfuric acid baths, high-salinity seawater exposure, and severe thermal cycles. Standard austenitic and duplex stainless steels often suffer from premature pitting, stress corrosion cracking (SCC), and uniform erosion under these severe conditions. This makes Commercial Pure (CP) Titanium Sheets (specifically ASTM B265 Grades 1, 2, 7, and 12) the benchmark material for long-term asset protection and process reliability throughout Chilean operations.
In recent years, the Chilean mining ecosystem has rapidly shifted toward sustainable processing and seawater utilization. Because freshwater resources in the northern desert zones are strictly regulated, mining operators are constructing large-scale seawater intake pipelines, reverse osmosis (RO) desalination plants, and direct raw seawater processing circuits. Titanium sheet fabrication plays an indispensable role in these setups. Furthermore, with the ongoing expansion of lithium brine processing at the Salar de Atacama and cathode refining plants in the central-northern regions, the demand for custom-cut titanium sheets, heat exchanger plates, and electrode substrates has experienced unprecedented growth.
Chile's Solvent Extraction and Electrowinning (SX-EW) circuits utilize Grade 1 and Grade 2 titanium sheets for permanent cathode mother plates, electrowinning tank liners, and acid-mist baffles exposed to warm sulfuric acid electrolytes.
With massive desalination plants powering mining projects from Mejillones to Copiapó, titanium plate heat exchangers and condenser sheets resist micro-fouling, high chloride concentrations, and turbulent ocean currents.
High chloride-borate brines and aggressive evaporation units require Grade 7 (Ti-0.2Pd) and Grade 12 (Ti-0.3Mo-0.8Ni) titanium sheet linings to prevent localized crevice corrosion at elevated temperatures.
Selecting the optimal Commercial Pure titanium grade based on acid concentrations, operating temperatures, and mechanical formability.
| Grade / Standard | Key Composition | Yield Strength (MPa) | Corrosion Resistance Profile | Primary Chilean Industrial Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ASTM B265 GR1 (CP-4) | Pure Ti (Low O2 ≤0.18%) | 170 - 310 | Exceptional ductility and general oxidizing acid resistance | Plate heat exchanger plates, deep-drawn chemical vessel liners |
| ASTM B265 GR2 (CP-3) | Pure Ti (Standard O2 ≤0.25%) | 275 - 450 | Optimal balance of strength, weldability, and resistance | SX-EW cathode starter sheets, seawater ducting, storage tanks |
| ASTM B265 GR7 (Ti-Pd) | Ti + 0.12-0.25% Palladium | 275 - 450 | Superior resistance to reducing acids & crevice corrosion | High-temperature acidic chloride reactors, autoclave vessel liners |
| ASTM B265 GR12 (Ti-Mo-Ni) | Ti + 0.3% Mo + 0.8% Ni | 345 - 520 | High strength, crevice-corrosion resistance up to 300°C | High-pressure leaching (HPAL) autoclaves, chemical reboilers |
