Titanium Grade 9 Rings manufactured at TorqBolt are of Excellent stiffness,toughness and high strength low density combination.
Dimensional standards as per DIN 471,DIN 472,DIN 5417,DIN 983,AS 568,BS 1806,ISO 3601,DIN 3771 are provided.
The raw material of these fasteners is classified as AeroSpace Titanium Alloys. Being a PED certified Fasteners Manufacturer by TUV Rheinland,our fasteners are accompanied with EN 10204 3.1/3.2 certification. Titanium Grade 9 Rings are available in hot forged,cold forged and bar stock machined conditions depending upon the order quantity.
Titanium Grade 9 Often Called 3al-2.5v Mostly Used For Seawater Applications Due To Higher Mechanical Properties As Compared To Stainless Steels. Grade 9 Has Excellent Resistance To Pitting, Crevice And Erosion Corrosion along With Good Formability And Weld-ability. We Offer Heavy Hex Bolt As Per Asme B18.2.1, B18.2.3.6m, Heavy Hex Nut As Per Asme B18.2.2 & B18.2.4, Flange Studs As Per Asme B16.5 For High Pressure, High Temperature Requirement.
Titanium Grade 9 Rings — Forged Ring Specifications
Titanium Grade 9 rings are seamless rolled or open-die forged components used as pressure-vessel flanges, valve bodies, hub-mount blanks, and shaft-end retention rings. TorqBolt supplies Titanium Grade 9 rings per ASTM A182 (forged flange standard), ASTM A266/A668 (carbon ring), and EN 10222 (pressure-purpose forging), in OD sizes from 50 mm up to 3000 mm.
Forging Process
Rings are produced via either seamless ring rolling (radial-axial mill, for OD > 200 mm) or open-die hammer forging (for short-run / oversize parts). Reduction ratio ≥ 4:1 from billet to final ring is enforced for grain-flow continuity. Heat treatment is per the alloy spec — solution-anneal + quench + age for precipitation-hardening alloys; quench & temper for low-alloy steels.
Dimensional Tolerance
Titanium Grade 9 rings are supplied to ASTM A788 dimensional tolerances by default: OD ±1.5 mm or ±1% (whichever is larger), ID ±1.5 mm, height ±0.8 mm. Tighter tolerances (machined finish, ±0.1 mm) available for direct-mount applications. Out-of-roundness controlled to 1.5 mm; concentricity 0.2 mm/100 mm.
Mechanical Testing
Each ring lot ships with full mechanical certification: tensile (ASTM E8), Charpy impact (ASTM E23) at the application's MDMT, hardness traverse, and grain size per ASTM E112. For Titanium Grade 9 ring stock destined for hydrogen / sour service, additional HIC testing (NACE TM0284) and SSC testing (NACE TM0177) per the customer's spec.
Surface & Inspection
Titanium Grade 9 rings ship rough-machined or finish-machined per drawing. Standard NDT: 100 % UT (ASTM A388 reference) and surface MT/PT to ASTM E709 / E165. Radiography on request. Each ring is hard-stamped with heat number, lot, and certification reference for traceability through the dispatch chain.
Titanium & Titanium Alloys
Titanium alloys deliver an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio (density ~4.5 g/cm³, half of steel) combined with outstanding seawater + chloride corrosion resistance — the spontaneously-formed TiO₂ surface film is impervious to chlorides and most oxidizing acids. Titanium is the default for marine offshore, desalination, chemical-process, and aerospace fasteners requiring weight reduction with corrosion immunity.
Grade 2 commercially-pure (CP-Ti) is the workhorse: yield ~275 MPa, fully formable, weldable, the standard for heat-exchanger tubing and chloride-service bolting. Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) is the alpha-beta alloy delivering yield ~828 MPa after solution + age treatment per AMS 4928 / ASTM B348 — the dominant aerospace + medical grade. Grade 7 / Grade 11 add Pd for crevice + reducing-acid resistance. Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V) is the high-strength tubing alloy. Grade 12 (Ti-Mo-Ni) trades strength for hot-brine corrosion performance.
Titanium fasteners ship per ASTM B348 (Grade 2 / 5) and AMS 4928 / 4965 with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certificates including hydrogen (≤ 125 ppm), oxygen, and tensile testing. Welding requires inert-gas shielding (back-purged Ar) to prevent embrittlement. NACE MR0175 sour-service is fully qualified across all common grades.
