Grade 1 (3.7025, R50250) Titanium

Grade 1 titanium is a titanium alloy formulated for primary forming into wrought products. Cited properties are appropriate for the annealed condition. 3.7025 is the EN numeric designation for this material. R50250 is the UNS number. Additionally, the ASTM designation is Titanium Grade 1.

This material is well established: the Further Reading section below cites a number of published standards, and that list is not necessarily exhaustive.

It has a moderately high electrical conductivity among wrought titaniums. In addition, it has a fairly high ductility and a fairly low tensile strength.

The graph bars on the material properties cards below compare grade 1 titanium to: wrought titaniums (top), all titanium alloys (middle), and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
