ASTM B265 Titanium Plate & Sheet

ASTM B265 Standard for Titanium and Titanium Alloy Sheets, Plates

Standard Overview

ASTM B265 is the most widely used international standard for titanium and titanium alloy sheet, plate, and strip products, published by ASTM International. This standard specifies the chemical composition, mechanical properties, dimensional tolerances, surface quality, and testing requirements for both commercially pure titanium and titanium alloy flat products, covering all common titanium grades supplied by BOZE Metal including Grade 1-4, Grade 5, Grade 7, Grade 9, Grade 11, Grade 12 and Grade 23.

As a core industrial standard, ASTM B265 ensures consistent quality and performance of titanium flat products for global industrial applications, providing a unified benchmark for material selection, production, inspection and acceptance. All titanium sheet and plate products from BOZE Metal are fully compliant with ASTM B265 requirements, with complete material test reports and traceability documentation provided for every batch.

Standard Scope & Applicable Grades

ASTM B265 applies to hot-rolled and cold-rolled titanium sheet, plate, strip, and flat bar products, covering both annealed and heat-treated conditions. It is applicable to all commercially pure titanium grades and alpha-beta titanium alloys used in general industrial, marine, chemical processing, energy, and mechanical engineering fields.

• Applicable Grades: Commercially Pure Titanium (Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 11, 12)

• Applicable Grades: Titanium Alloys (Grade 5, Grade 9, Grade 23)

• Product Forms: Titanium sheet, plate, strip, flat bar (thickness ranging from 0.1mm to 100mm+)

Key Standard Requirements

• Strict chemical composition control for all titanium grades, ensuring material purity and alloy consistency

• Clear mechanical property specifications including tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and hardness

• Uniform dimensional tolerances for thickness, width, length, flatness and surface roughness

• Mandatory non-destructive testing (ultrasonic testing) for thick titanium plates

• Surface quality standards to eliminate cracks, inclusions, oxidation and other defects

• Testing methods for chemical analysis, mechanical properties and quality verification

Industrial Applications

Products compliant with ASTM B265 are widely used across nearly all titanium application industries, serving as the fundamental standard for general titanium flat products.

• Chemical Processing: Reactors, tanks, pipelines, corrosion-resistant equipment shells

• Marine & Offshore: Ship components, offshore structures, seawater treatment equipment

• Energy Industry: Heat exchangers, desalination equipment, power generation components

• General Manufacturing: Machine parts, brackets, structural components, fabricated parts

• Electronics & Medical: Non-implantable medical device housings, precision equipment parts
