GR12 Titanium Bar Rod - Corrosion-Resistant, High-Strength | China Suppliers & Factory
Products Details
GR12 titanium alloy (Ti-0.3Mo-0.8Ni) is a high performance material designed for extreme corrosive environments. Its core strength lies in its excellent resistance to reducing acids such as hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid and stress corrosion cracking, as well as good cold workability and weldability.

Extreme corrosion resistance: perfect for reducing acid environments
| Corrosive environments | GR12 Performance (annual corrosion rate) | Comparative materials (GR5/316L stainless steel) |
|---|---|---|
| Boiled hydrochloric acid (20%) | <0.1 mm/y | GR5: >1.2 mm/y, 316L: perforated |
| High temperature sulfuric acid (50°C) | 0.05 mm/y | GR2: 0.5 mm/y |
| Wet hydrogen sulfide with Cl | Zero-stress corrosion cracking | 316L: Cracking within 3 months |
Typical applications
1. Refinery Desulphurisation
Replaced original 316L stainless steel, extending service intervals from 6 months to 5 years.
2. Plating Equipment
Heater tube life extended from 1 year (titanium-palladium alloy) to 8 years, representing a cost reduction of 60%.
3. Geothermal Power Systems
Achieved 10 years of continuous operation without corrosion in pH=2 geothermal fluid.
GR12 Titanium alloy rod is mainly used in the chemical industry, such as, acid pipelines, electrolysis tanks, petroleum refining desulphurisation equipment, electroplating industry in the use of heating pipes and geothermal energy systems. In high temperature, high corrosive media life of up to 5-10 times that of ordinary stainless steel, is a cost effective alternative to Hastelloy and Tantalum solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is GR12 titanium alloy?
GR12 titanium alloy (Ti-0.3Mo-0.8Ni) is a high-performance material specifically designed for extreme corrosive environments, offering excellent resistance to reducing acids and stress corrosion cracking.
What standards do your GR12 titanium products comply with?
Our GR12 titanium products comply with the ASTM B348 standard, which defines the chemical composition and mechanical properties requirements for titanium and titanium alloy bars.
How does GR12 compare to 316L stainless steel in acid environments?
GR12 offers vastly superior corrosion resistance. For example, in boiled 20% hydrochloric acid, GR12 has a corrosion rate of <0.1 mm/y, whereas 316L stainless steel becomes perforated. In wet hydrogen sulfide, GR12 experiences zero-stress corrosion cracking, while 316L cracks within 3 months.
What are the typical applications of GR12 titanium rods?
They are primary used in chemical pipelines, electrolysis tanks, petroleum refining desulphurisation equipment, geothermal energy systems, and heating pipes within the electroplating industry.
Is GR12 titanium a cost-effective alternative to other alloys?
Yes. In high-temperature, highly corrosive media, GR12 lasts 5 to 10 times longer than ordinary stainless steel. It serves as a highly cost-effective alternative to expensive Hastelloy and Tantalum solutions.
