TIMETAL 65A is equivalent to ASTM Grade 3. It is a general purpose grade of commercially pure titanium that has excellent corrosion resistance in highly oxidizing to mildly reducing environments, including chlorides, and an excellent strength to weight ratio. TIMETAL 65A offers the highest ASME allowable design stresses of any commercially pure grade of titanium. TIMETAL 65A can be used in continuous service up to 800°F (425°C) and in intermittent service up to 1000°F (540°C). It also has good impact properties at low temperatures. In addition TIMETAL 65A can be satisfactorily welded, machined, cold worked, hot worked, and cast.
