TIMETAL 50A is equivalent to ASTM Grade 2. It is the "workhorse" for industrial applications, having a guaranteed minimum 0.2% yield strength of 40 ksi (275 MPa) and good ductility and formability. TIMETAL 50A is used extensively for sea water piping, reactor vessels and heat exchangers throughout the CPI, Petrochemical, Oil & Gas and Naval/Marine markets. It also is ASME approved, has good impact properties at low temperatures, and has excellent resistance to erosion and corrosion by seawater and marine atmospheres. TIMETAL 50A is typically used in continuous service up to 800°F (425°C) and in intermittent service up to 1000°F (540°C). In addition TIMETAL 50A can be easily welded, machined, cold worked, hot worked, and cast.
