Why Grade 1 Titanium Sheet Is Used for PHE Plate Pressing
For plate heat exchanger plates, material selection is not only about corrosion resistance in service. It is also about how the titanium sheet performs during forming, corrugation and pressing.
Formability for Plate Pressing
Grade 1 titanium sheet is suitable for plate pressing evaluation where ductility, elongation, cupping performance and forming consistency are important.
Corrosion Resistance
Titanium sheet is widely selected for heat transfer equipment exposed to seawater, chloride-containing media, desalination, marine cooling and chemical process environments.
Evaluation Data Available
Reference values are available for chemical composition, tensile performance, Erichsen cupping, Vickers hardness and grain structure for PHE plate manufacturing evaluation.

Why PHE-Oriented Titanium Sheet Evaluation Matters
For plate heat exchanger projects, customers usually focus not only on basic Grade 1 supply, but also on grain structure, forming behavior and consistency during pressing.
| Technical Focus | General Grade 1 Titanium Sheet Supply | GAOFA PHE-Oriented Evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| Chemistry Control | General Grade 1 supply requirements | ✓ Fe 0.023% / O 0.043% reference values for evaluation |
| Grain Structure | Not always evaluated with PHE plate pressing as the main focus | ✓ Average grain size level 9.0 on current representative sample |
| Forming Evaluation | Basic Grade 1 supply may still require customer-side forming verification | ✓ Reference elongation 61–65% and Erichsen 11.2–11.6 mm |
| Project Approach | General industrial titanium sheet supply | ✓ Plate pressing evaluation, cut-size support and trial discussion |
| Final Validation | Requires project-specific confirmation | ✓ Customer tooling trial recommended for critical PHE plate applications |
Note: The table above is intended to explain evaluation focus for plate heat exchanger projects. Final suitability should be confirmed under the customer’s actual tooling, plate pattern and forming conditions.
What Matters in Titanium Sheet Evaluation for Plate Pressing
In practical PHE plate manufacturing, the key points are not only titanium grade, but also chemistry cleanliness, elongation, cupping performance, hardness level, grain uniformity and consistency during forming.
Our current reference data show clean chemistry, high elongation, good cupping performance and uniform microstructure, which support Grade 1 titanium sheet evaluation for plate heat exchanger plate production.
For critical projects, we recommend forming trials on the customer’s own tooling to confirm performance under actual plate pressing conditions.
Applications of Titanium Sheet for Plate Heat Exchanger Plates
Grade 1 titanium sheet is mainly considered when the plate heat exchanger will work in corrosive media or when the plate manufacturer requires thin titanium sheet for pressing corrugated heat transfer plates.
