Titanium Grade 2 Round Tube 5/8" OD x 0.065" wall Retail Price

About Grade 2|Commercially pure titanium (CP-2). The workhorse grade for chemical processing and marine applications. Good corrosion resistance, moderate strength (50 KSI yield), and excellent weldability. Machines better than alloy grades but still demands respect. Use sharp, uncoated carbide (TiN coating is pointless on titanium since it's already titanium). Low speeds (50-100 SFM), aggressive feed, flood coolant (water-based, never chlorinated). Chips are thin and hot. They can catch fire if they pile up. Maintain positive rake and never let the tool dwell. Used for heat exchangers, chemical piping, marine hardware, and medical implants. Compare to Grade 5 (much stronger but more expensive) and 316 stainless (cheaper, adequate for many corrosion applications).

About Round Tube|Hollow cylindrical stock for sleeves, bushings, spacers, and hydraulic cylinders. DOM (drawn over mandrel) tubing machines well and holds tight tolerances. Welded-seam structural tube is for cutting and welding, not precision work.
