Titanium and titanium alloy standards in ASTM
Titanium alloys are classified according to various standards. In Brazil, the most widely used standard is ASTM. According to this standard, the titanium materials follow the following classification:
B 265 - Plates, sheets, and strips for titanium and titanium alloys in grades 1 through 38
B 299 - titanium sponge
B 338 - with or seamless tubes for titanium and titanium alloys in grades 1 through 38
B 348 - bars and billets of titanium and titanium alloys in grades 1 through 38
B 363 - with or without connections welding of titanium and titanium alloys
B 367 - Cast titanium or titanium alloys
B 381 - Forged titanium or titanium alloys in grades 1 through 38
F 67 - pure titanium for surgical implants
F 136 - Titanium 6Al-4V alloy for surgical implants
F 467 - Nuts Titanium
F 468 - screws and titanium cases
F 1472 - Titanium alloy 6Al-4V forged for surgical implants
In the United States, in addition to other ASTM standards are used, further enhancing the amount of titanium alloy:
• MIL (military)
• DOD (Department. Of Defense)
• AMS (Specifications. Aerospace Material)
• AIA (Association of Aerospace Industries)
• SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers)
• UNS (Unified Numbering System)
• ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
• ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers)
• AWS (American Welding Society)
Several countries have their own standards, such as Germany with DIN, France with the AFNOR standard, Japan with JIS, Korea with KSA standard, China with the standard CNS, UK with BSI standard, and Russia with GOST / VT standard. It is not always possible to find equivalence between the standards.
