Titanium Grade 1 Sheet for Plate Heat Exchanger Plates
GAOFA TECH supplies titanium sheet for plate heat exchanger plates, especially for projects requiring corrosion resistance, stable formability, and material consistency for plate pressing applications.
This page is focused on titanium sheet for plate heat exchanger plate manufacturing, including reference chemistry, mechanical performance, forming-related data, and metallographic microstructure for customer evaluation.
Why Titanium Grade 1 Sheet for Plate Heat Exchanger Plates
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.
Good Formability
Suitable for plate pressing evaluation where ductility, elongation, and consistency during forming are important.
Corrosion Resistance
Titanium Grade 1 sheet is widely selected for heat transfer equipment exposed to seawater, chloride-containing media, and other corrosive environments.
Reference Data Available
Reference values are available for chemical composition, tensile performance, Erichsen cupping, hardness, and grain structure for project evaluation.
Reference Highlights for PHE-Grade Titanium Sheet
The following cards summarize key reference values from the current representative sample prepared for plate heat exchanger plate evaluation.
Elongation (A50mm)
Supports forming performance for corrugated and pressed plate applications.
Grain Size Level
Fine and uniform grain structure helps support pressed surface consistency.
Erichsen Value
Useful reference for evaluating forming suitability in plate pressing projects.
Note: These are reference values from a current representative sample. Actual values may vary slightly by thickness, heat, lot, and production condition.

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 Supply | GAOFA PHE Reference Sample |
|---|---|---|
| Chemistry Control | General Grade 1 supply requirements | ✓ Fe 0.023% / O 0.043% reference values for evaluation |
| Grain Structure | Not always evaluated with 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 sheet supply | ✓ Plate pressing evaluation, cut-size support, and trial discussion |
| Final Validation | Requires project-specific confirmation | ✓ Customer tooling trial recommended for critical 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 and forming conditions.
What Matters in Material Evaluation for Plate Pressing
In practical plate manufacturing, the key points are not only material 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 plate heat exchanger plate evaluation.
For critical projects, we recommend forming trials on the customer’s own tooling to confirm performance under actual production conditions.
